Gigabyte and Asus have raised factory wholesale costs across major desktop graphics cards. Supply chain leak ChannelGate reports that manufacturing cost adjustments forced immediate price increases on top tier Nvidia and AMD boards. The steepest price hikes affect flagship RTX 50 series models, climbing by up to 1,000 yuan (roughly $150).
The highest price jumps target the upper tier of the Nvidia product stack. Factory pricing for the RTX 5080 increased by 1,000 yuan (about $150) for both Gigabyte and Asus models. The RTX 5070 Ti climbs by 900 yuan (around $135) for Gigabyte inventory and 800 yuan ($120) for Asus stock. Buyers tracking the standard RTX 5070 will see wholesale invoices climb by 400 yuan (roughly $60) from Gigabyte and 300 yuan ($45) from Asus.
Mainstream gaming cards also face price hikes, though at smaller rates. Both manufacturers added 150 yuan (about $22) to the wholesale cost of RTX 5060 Ti cards across both 8GB and 16GB memory variants. The base RTX 5060 jumps by 150 yuan ($22) from both brands, while the budget RTX 3050 increases by 100 yuan (around $15).
AMD graphics cards show brand specific adjustments. Gigabyte added 100 yuan (around $15) to the factory price of the RX 7650 GRE while keeping other AMD inventory flat. Asus kept older product lines untouched but raised the RX 9070 XT by 150 yuan (about $22) and the RX 9070 GRE by 100 yuan ($15). Other legacy graphics card models remain at their existing baseline prices.
