If you're on the hunt for the latest Nvidia Blackwell graphics cards and want to avoid paying a huge markup, there's no better place to start than with the card manufacturers themselves. MSI, one of Nvidia's premier AIB partners, sells its products through its subsidiary brand, "Raideals," on the Walmart online marketplace. Right now, you can find a range of graphics cards from the budget-friendly 5060 Ti to the high-end 5080, often at some of the lowest prices available online.
It's important to note that a "list price" doesn't necessarily align with Nvidia's suggested launch price. For instance, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB has a launch price of $429, but MSI's most affordable RTX 5060 Ti model is currently listed at $609. This difference can be attributed to enhanced build quality, features like advanced cooling systems, and overclocking capabilities right out of the box, as well as the manufacturer's markup. Unfortunately, these markups are now standard unless you manage to snag an Nvidia Founder's Edition card.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"Easily able to handle most AAA games at 1080p with all the eye candy turned up, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is a great mid-range graphics card. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from the 8GB version."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is complicated. It does what it says on the tin: play games at 1440p at a high frame rate. But the problem is that it doesn’t necessarily do that better than the RTX 4070 Super, or any other graphics card in this price range. It does add Multi Frame Generation, which is nice to have for anyone with a high-refresh monitor, but that alone isn’t worth the upgrade."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"For the money, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is simply the best 4K graphics card for most people. It’s not only significantly faster than its predecessor, but DLSS 4 and multi frame generation will keep it relevant for years."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is an extremely competent 4K graphics card for its price. It’s just not quite the performance uplift that hardcore enthusiasts who upgrade every generation are going to want to see."
