Cost per FPS over time
Weekly price ÷ 1440p benchmark performance. When the curve rises, you get fewer frames for your money — the direct gamer impact of the GPU crisis.
Reference: AAA tier at 1440p, DropReference reference CPU (same method as GPU compare). FPS is fixed — only price moves over time.
Market map

Live figures for the United States market (USD), updated 28 October 2026 — then explanations to help you read the RTX 50 and RX 9000 graphics card crisis.
How much have graphics card prices increased in United States?
- Average gap vs MSRP+59,8 %
- 30-day change+8,0 %
- 7-day change+8,0 %
- 90-day change+8,0 %
- Pressure index86 / 100
DropReference aggregates live minimum prices for 12 NVIDIA RTX 50 and AMD RX 9000 chipsets on the United States market. The figures above show average gap vs catalog MSRP and recent minimum-price movement — key indicators to track graphics card price increases in real time.
Are graphics cards more expensive than MSRP right now?
- GPUs above MSRP12
- GPUs below MSRP0
- Most expensive vs MSRPRTX 5090 (+206,1 %)
- Best dealRTX 5060 Ti 8G (+18,5 %)
Gap vs MSRP shows whether a graphics card costs more or less than NVIDIA and AMD recommended pricing. In United States, compare chipset by chipset rather than generalising: some RTX 50 or RX 9000 models remain overpriced, others are back below catalog price.
Which graphics card has risen or fallen the most recently?
- Biggest riseRTX 5080 (+31,4 %)
- Biggest dropRTX 5060 Ti 8G (-10,2 %)
DropReference uses 7-day movement, or 30 days when the market has been quiet. That is the most reliable signal to spot accelerating price hikes or a return to normal GPU pricing.
Is there a GPU crisis or graphics card shortage in 2026?
- Pressure index86 / 100
- Models to avoid8
- Opportunities0
