Buying any of the best graphics cards right now feels like an exercise in futility. For that matter, buying virtually any graphics card at present tends to be a bad idea. We’ve scoured a variety of online markets to see what sort of prices we could find, and MSRPs are effectively non-existent — laughably so. Everything worth buying sells almost immediately, likely more often than not to scalper bots. What you can find “in stock” tends to be from recently established third-party marketplace sellers, with prices that can at times reach to double the official MSRPs.
Does that make the MSRPs meaningless? At present, it’s hard to think otherwise. Even Nvidia itself was only selling limited numbers of RTX 5090 Founders Edition and RTX 5080 Founders Edition cards at GTC 2025 — from a mobile ‘food truck.’ And you had to be a conference attendee ($1,145 minimum) plus get in line early enough to even grab one.
A better question: When if ever will we see the latest generation GPUs selling at MSRPs? In light of recent tariffs, plus the ongoing graphics card shortages, it could be a very long waiting game. Even looking to places like eBay, the number of latest generation GPUs trading hands doesn’t look promising.
At the height of the cryptocurrency GPU mining crazy in mid-2021, we often saw well over 10,000 GPUs ‘sold’ via eBay every month. Right now, the last 30 days show less than 9,000 GPUs sold on eBay — and that’s looking at the past three generations of AMD and Nvidia graphics cards.

Here’s the best data we can come up with for the starting retail prices on the current and previous generation graphics cards from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. You’ll note a bunch of asterisks in the price column; that’s to indicate resellers and prices where we’re not at all confident of the pricing or availability. These listings are all questionable, in our mind at least.
It probably goes without saying, but prices are in a rapid state of flux as well. If you find a price that’s $40 lower than other places, it’s not going to last long. Either the particular card and reseller will exhaust the inventory, or prices will get updated. And again, that’s assuming these prices are even legitimate in the first place. Some cards will show “typically ships in two weeks” or similar notes — not exactly confidence-inducing.
A safer look at prices right now might be eBay, as we’ve gathered data for the past 30 days of “sold” listings. Not all of those are guaranteed to be legitimate, but at least we can see solid numbers for how many of each card were sold as well as the average price. It doesn’t look good.

- Nvidia says it has shipped twice as many 50-series GPUs as 40-series since launch, but it’s a misleading comparison
- Data suggests RTX 5090 prices are slowly stabilizing — The average selling price on eBay has dropped to $4,000
On the whole, outside of the RTX 50-series, eBay prices tended to be better on average compared to retail — which isn’t too surprising, since most prior generation GPUs are no longer readily available at retail. There are a few GPUs that averaged pricing below MSRP, but they’re all previous generation cards, and often models that weren’t exactly enticing originally.
Take the RTX 4070 Ti (aka, the rebranded unlaunched RTX 4080 12GB). People were outraged at its original $800 MSRP, but in the past month it averaged $777 for a used card on eBay. Intel’s Arc A-series GPUs are also selling below the original MSRPs, as is the RX 7600.
