Asus The Prime RTX 50 Series Graphics Cards Are Back Down to MSRP (The RTX 5070 Is Below MSRP)

Select Asus Prime RTX 50 series graphics cards have dropped back down to original launch pricing on Amazon. In fact, one of the models – the RTX 5070 – is actually discounted below MSRP. If you have an RTX 30 series card or even older, now would be a good time to upgrade. We don’t know whether or not inventory or pricing will stay stable forever, especially with tariffs raising prices on everything else. Also, older RTX 40 series cards are not as readily available nor are they cheap, so trying to save money on a prior generation card isn’t as viable an alternative as it used to be.

The Asus Prime is Asus’ budget lineup of GPUs. It’s easily the best bang for your buck because it offers the same performance of higher end models but without flashy RGB LED effects, oversized space-constraining heatsinks, or negligible overclocks. The 2.5-slot design is slimmer than your average triple-fan cooler (so it can fit in small form factor PCs), but it’s still superior to the dual-fan designs on budget models from other brands. A triple-fan cooler doesn’t have to work as hard as a dual-fan cooler to keep temps down, and so they can run at a slower and quieter fan speed.
