PSA: MSI Sells Its Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-Series Blackwell Graphic Cards Under a Pen Name at Walmart
RTX 5060 Ti, 5070, 5070 Ti, and 5080 graphics cards are all in stock.
If you're hunting for one of the new Nvidia Blackwell graphics cards and don't want to pay a huge markup, who better to trust than the cardmakers themselves? MSI is one of Nvidia's biggest AIB manufacturers around and it happens to sell its own products on the Walmart online marketplace under its subsidiary brand name "Raideals." Currently, several graphics cards are available ranging from the budget 5060 Ti to the high end 5080, some of them at the lowest prices online.
Keep in mind that just because a graphics card is sold at "list price" doesn't mean it matches Nvidia's suggested launch price. For example, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB has a launch price of $429, but MSI's least expensive RTX 5060 Ti is currently $609 "at list price." Part of the cost goes into the build quality and features (like a beefier cooling system and overclocking out of the box) and part of the cost goes into the manufacturer's markup. At this point, these markups are unavoidable unless you spend all your luck to find an Nvidia Founder's Edition card.

If you're thinking of a prebuilt PC, consider Alienware
If you're not keen to build out your own PC and would rather go the prebuilt route, Alienware is offering very reasonable pricing on select RTX 50 series gaming PCs. They're priced competitively compared to other prebuilt vendors, they're readily availabe, and they included a 1 year warranty with the option to extend it. With graphics cards so marked up nowadays, you really won't save any money going down the DIY route like years past.
