The RTX 5080 snapped back upward, and AMD just stole the clean high-end story

This one clears the ad hoc gate easily. The tracked RTX 5080 shot from $1,299.00 on September 11 to $1,619.00 today, a 24.6% jump on the exact Amazon listing we track. The tracked RTX 5090 also moved the wrong way, climbing from $6,788.88 to $7,369.90. Even the tracked RTX 5070 bounced from $882.17 to $959.56. If yesterday looked like a brief easing, today looked like the resellers took the wheel again.

That repricing changed the site’s high-end pick. The tracked RX 9070 XT held at $799.28, while the tracked 5080 blew far past it, so the RTX 5080 vs. RX 9070 XT comparison is not subtle right now. If you want more VRAM without paying fresh Blackwell tax, the tracked RX 7900 XTX is still $1,499.00, and its refreshed used eBay floor sits at $900.00.

The same pattern shows up lower in the stack. The tracked RTX 4060 is confirmed at $455.00 today, which keeps the RTX 4060 vs. Arc B580 comparison interesting when the Arc B580 is still $369.99. NVIDIA still has faster cards, but on today’s exact listings, the easiest recommendation is to avoid paying up just because an RTX 50-series badge is attached.
