According to Wccftech, NVIDIA and AMD are gearing up for significant GPU price increases starting in the first quarter of 2026, driven primarily by soaring DRAM costs that have reportedly pushed manufacturing expenses up by as much as 80% due to memory alone.The flagship GeForce RTX 5090, which launched with a $1999-$2000 MSRP, could see prices climb to as high as $5000 in the coming months-a potential 2.5x jump. AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series (RDNA 4) will also be affected, with hikes expected to roll out gradually.Reports indicate AMD may begin raising prices as early as January 2026, followed by NVIDIA in February, with incremental adjustments possibly continuing monthly. Additional factors include consumer gaming GPUs being repurposed for AI applications in Asian markets, further tightening supply.These developments, based on industry sources cited by outlets like Newsis, could make 2026 a challenging year for PC gamers and builders looking to upgrade.

checked on taobao, no 5080 32g.

but there are other blower type models like 5060ti 16g, 5070ti 16g, 5080 16g and definitely 5090 32g.
same as 5090 32g blower, the cores and dies for the blowers of 5060ti/5070ti/5080 are probably from the extraction.

btw it bugs me why they are… pic.twitter.com/b8YoG6AQq1
