The RTX 5090 backs off, while the RTX 5060 Ti jumps

The biggest move today is the one that finally gave the halo tier a little breathing room. Amazon dropped the tracked RTX 5090 from $6,809.90 to $5,239.99, a 23% slide in one refresh, while the tracked RTX 5080 ticked up to $1,599.99. That still leaves a brutal $3,640.00 gap between the two, but it is a much less ridiculous gap than yesterday. If you want the cleanest sanity check in the stack, the RTX 5090 vs. RTX 5080 comparison tells the story fast.

The odd movement is lower down. The tracked RTX 5060 Ti jumped from $504.44 to $626.09, while the tracked RTX 5070 also moved up, from $849.63 to $870.48. That keeps the ladder intact, but it squeezes the gap between them to $244.39, which is not much room for a card that is supposed to sit a tier higher. The RTX 5060 Ti vs. RTX 5070 comparison is suddenly a lot more interesting than it was yesterday.

AMD did not escape the same pressure. The tracked RX 9060 XT climbed from $469.99 to $507.59, pushing it back above the five-hundred-dollar line, while the RX 9070 XT held at $739.99. Used pricing still gives buyers a way out of the chaos: today’s refreshed eBay listing for the RTX 5090 sits at $4,200.00, and the used RTX 4060 is down at $269.99. New-card pricing is still volatile, but the used market is doing a much better job of acting normal.
