RTX 5060 Ti Bought at Walmart for $80, Photos Back Up Viral Find

Coverage points to a one-off pricing error rather than a real drop in GPU prices.

Overview

  • A Walmart customer bought an MSI Ventus 2x GeForce RTX 5060 Ti for $80 and posted receipt and discount-sticker photos on Reddit.
  • The card typically sells for about $349 to over $400, putting the deal at roughly a 77% to 80% discount.
  • Reports note the register rang the GPU at $80 without errors, and a commenter claimed seeing the same price at another Walmart.
  • Outlets frame the price as a likely clerical or labeling mistake, with no confirmation of a broader markdown or any statement from Walmart.
  • The buyer upgraded from a GTX 1060, gaining a major performance jump plus features like DLSS, frame generation, and ray tracing.
