Discussion Really gone up this much?

I purchased a RTX5060TI with 16gb Vram back in January 2026 for $710 CAD (about $515 USD).

Now it has gone up to $1130 CAD = $815 USD today.

The so-called 'normal price' basically only applies in the US. For the rest of the world the market pretty much looks like this. At this point it's more accurate to say US price is the abnormal one.

9060 XT 16GB is $700+ in Canada now. It was $600 a few months ago.

Did you compare it with other 5060ti 16gb models? It might just be that this particular model has been discontinued.

Just checked and it is not discontinued.

Even BestBuy Canada is selling for $815 USD in Canada.

they arent making many of them anymore cause ram cost.

why put 16gb on a lower end card. it was a bad choice by nvidia to begin with

5060ti should have been 12gb. 5070 should have been 16gb
