If you're on the hunt for Nvidia's latest Blackwell graphics cards and looking to avoid the hefty markups, who better to trust than the manufacturers themselves? MSI, one of Nvidia's premier AIB partners, sells its products on the Walmart online marketplace through its subsidiary brand "Raideals." Right now, you can find a variety of graphics cards, from the budget-friendly RTX 5060 Ti to the high-end RTX 5080, often at some of the lowest prices available online.
It's important to remember that a "list price" doesn't always align with Nvidia's suggested launch price. For example, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB launched at $429, but MSI's lowest-priced version of this card is currently listed at $609. This price difference can be attributed to factors like superior build quality, enhanced cooling systems, and factory overclocking, as well as the manufacturer's markup. These markups are a standard part of the market, unless you're lucky enough to snag a Nvidia Founder's Edition card.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers solid performance at 1440p with high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outshine the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price bracket. Its Multi Frame Generation feature is a nice addition for those with high-refresh monitors, but it may not justify an upgrade on its own."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is a formidable 4K graphics card at its price point. However, it might not offer the significant performance boost that dedicated enthusiasts expect with each new generation."
If you prefer a prebuilt PC, consider Alienware. They offer competitively priced RTX 50 series gaming PCs that are readily available and come with a one-year warranty, which can be extended. Given the current market's high prices for graphics cards, opting for a prebuilt system might be more cost-effective than building your own.
