As AI demand and shortages drive up prices, many PC gamers planning to upgrade or build new systems have NO BREATH.
However, some have managed to snag incredible deals during this period. For instance, an overseas user recently bought an RTX 5060 Ti graphics card for just $242 (equivalent to 1,626.5 RMB).
Reddit user u/enigmussnake shared his recent find at Walmart. He purchased an RTX 5060 Ti graphics card for $242, a price significantly lower than what many buyers are currently seeing in retail stores.
Due to recent price increases, the cost of this graphics card may approach $500. It is worth noting that this is the RTX 5060 8GB version, but considering the price point, this Reddit user is unlikely to complain about insufficient VRAM.
Despite some limitations, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB can still run modern games smoothly, especially at 1080p resolution. However, this Reddit user does not intend to use this graphics card for gaming.
For reference, the suggested retail price for the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB at launch was $379, so even without the current price hikes, this deal was quite good. The memory shortage has only made this deal more attractive.
