The leaked distributor pricing outlines hikes ranging from 1,300 to 8,000 yuan for the RTX 5080, with the maximum increase exceeding the card's baseline $999 launch MSRP. Mid-tier hardware is also affected, with RTX 5070 Ti models climbing by 800 to 4,000 yuan ($120 to $600), while the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and 8GB variants face smaller bumps of 400 yuan and 200 yuan respectively. Colorful and Galax have reportedly implemented similar structural adjustments with their regional partners earlier this month.
These figures reflect baseline distributor-level price shifts rather than official global MSRP alterations, signaling rising localized supply chain costs in the Chinese channel. Homelab builders, local AI researchers, and workstation buyers eyeing multi-GPU setups should anticipate cascading street-price inflation as other major AIB partners adopt comparable pricing structures.
