Zotac Raises RTX 5090 Prices to $3,000 and Pulls MSRP Models

Amid ongoing GPU shortages and escalating costs, Zotac increases prices by up to 20% and removes lower-priced options from its store.

  • Zotac has raised the price of its flagship RTX 5090 Amp Extreme Infinity GPU to $3,000, a $500 increase from its original price.
  • The company has also removed all RTX 5090 models previously sold at Nvidia's $1,999 MSRP from its online store.
  • Price hikes align with similar increases by manufacturers like MSI and Asus, driven by tariffs, supply constraints, and high demand.
  • Scalping continues to exacerbate availability issues, with Zotac's Discord-based anti-scalping program proving largely ineffective due to limited stock.
  • The GPU market remains volatile, with shortages and price inflation reminiscent of the 2020-2021 chip crisis, leaving consumers frustrated.
