MSI’s RTX 5080 price hike could reach roughly $1,200, Wccftech reports

Citing ChannelGate, Wccftech reports planned November distributor increases of 1,300–8,000 yuan (roughly $194–$1,200) for MSI’s RTX 5080 and 800–4,000 yuan (about $120–$600) for its RTX 5070 Ti. The outlet says the maximum 5080 hike alone exceeds the Founders Edition card’s entire MSRP. A whole card’s sticker price, just for the increase. The dollar amounts are conversions of reported yuan increases.
