Nvidia Production Halt Rumors Shake Huaqiangbei, Graphics Card Prices Change Daily
Rumors of a "production halt" for certain models of Nvidia's consumer-grade graphics cards are currently shaking up the Huaqiangbei computer component market. "There are rumors that the RTX 5090 might no longer be available, and the market has suddenly come alive," said Xiong Rongrong, a manager at Jinsuoli Computer, who has been working in Huaqiangbei for 16 years. "From September to October, the biggest change in the computer component market has been concentrated in the graphics card sector, with prices fluctuating on a daily basis," Xiong added. Rapid price surges are the most prominent feature of this round of market activity. Taking the high-end consumer-grade RTX 50 series as an example, the official initial retail price of the RTX 5090 was around 15,000–16,000 yuan, but current channel quotes have soared to 55,000–60,000 yuan. The RTX 5080, which initially sold for about 8,000 yuan, has now risen to 17,000 yuan. Xiong Rongrong added, "Just half a month ago, the channel price for the RTX 5080 was around 12,000 yuan, but it has increased by 4,000–5,000 yuan in a short period. The RTX 5090, which was previously around 30,000 yuan, has now climbed directly into the 50,000 yuan range."
