Down again, down again! RTX 5080 price plunge: from 18,000 to 14,000

Fast Technology reported on November 11 that the graphics card market has fluctuated frequently recently, and the high-end model RTX 5080 has seen a stunning price drop in just half a month.

According to the latest offer from Shenzhen Huaqiang North Frontline Channel, RTX 5080 plunged 4,000 yuan, from a high of 18,000 yuan in late October to about 14,000 yuan at present, with a price reduction of up to 4,000 yuan, a percentage decline of more than 22%.

Xiong Rong, head of Jin Shuoli Computer, a wholesaler of computer parts in Shenzhen Huaqiang North, said that the price change of high-end graphics cards in this round is very significant.

Taking RTX 5080 as an example, the market price was still hovering at a high of 18,000 yuan around October 23, but in just less than 20 days, the price has fallen back to the 14,000 yuan range.

In contrast, the RTX 5060, the mainstream model with the largest shipment volume, was only slightly adjusted by about RMB 200 compared to last month, and the overall performance was relatively stable.

However, price diving does not mean that the market has entered a downward channel. According to the information available to channel providers, the overall price of graphics cards is still on the rise. This is mainly due to the relatively small number of shipments from upstream plants and the very limited spot inventory currently on the market.

To put it bluntly, the current price cuts are more like channel operators returning funds at specific nodes. Once the existing supply is digested by the market, there is a high probability that the price will usher in a round of retaliatory increases.

Overall, the graphics card market is at a sensitive tipping point. Whether the RTX 5080 can stabilize at the price of 14,000 yuan depends mainly on the speed of replenishment at subsequent factories and Nvidia's official price strategy.
