NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs come at a high cost on top of being difficult to acquire due to low stock, and it seems tariffs are to blame for the increased cost. That’s according to Newegg, one of the largest online retailers in the US for computers and computer hardware.

Newegg is blaming President Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports for price hikes on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards. On Wednesday, customers noticed sudden price increases on the coveted GPUs across Newegg’s site.

Some custom GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 models have gone in price in the wake of a 10% tariff on Chinese imports.

Newegg sold out its entire stock of NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards in 20 minutes, most inventory was claimed in just 5 minutes.
