If you're on the hunt for Nvidia's new Blackwell graphics cards without facing exorbitant markups, turning to the manufacturers themselves is a smart move. MSI, a leading AIB partner of Nvidia, offers its products through its subsidiary brand "Raideals" on the Walmart online marketplace. Currently, you can find a range of graphics cards from the budget-friendly 5060 Ti to the high-end 5080, often at some of the most competitive prices online.
It's important to understand that a "list price" might not align with Nvidia's suggested launch price. For instance, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB launched at $429, but MSI's cheapest model is listed at $609. This difference is due to enhancements like superior cooling systems and pre-installed overclocking features, as well as the manufacturer's markup. While these markups are now a standard part of the market, the only way to avoid them entirely is by securing a rare Nvidia Founders Edition card.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti delivers impressive performance for most AAA games at 1080p with all graphical settings maxed out. It's an excellent mid-range option, but I recommend avoiding the 8GB version for optimal performance."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 performs well at 1440p with high frame rates, but it doesn't significantly outpace the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. It does offer Multi Frame Generation, which is beneficial for high-refresh rate monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 offers robust performance for 4K gaming at its price point. However, it might not meet the expectations of enthusiasts seeking a significant performance boost from the previous generation."
If you're thinking of a prebuilt PC, consider Alienware
For those who prefer a prebuilt solution over building their own PC, Alienware offers compelling options with RTX 50 series graphics cards. Their pricing is competitive, units are readily available, and they come with a one-year warranty that can be extended. Given the current markup on graphics cards, opting for a prebuilt PC might not be as costly as it once was.
