The RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC rises from 8,199 to 9,699 yuan, while the Shadow 3X OC moves from 7,699 to 9,199 yuan. These represent increases of 18.3% and 19.5%, respectively. RTX 5070 models receive smaller adjustments of around 8% to 10%.

Colorful updates pricing across its RTX lineup
Colorful’s distributor sheet dated July 24 lists the RTX 5080 Vulcan W OC at 13,200 yuan. The standard Vulcan OC costs 12,300 yuan, while the Advanced OC and Ultra W OC are listed at 11,800 and 10,500 yuan.
Colorful RTX 5070 Ti models now range from 8,700 to 10,000 yuan. RTX 5070 cards are listed between 6,400 and 7,200 yuan, while RTX 5060 Ti 16GB models cost between 5,100 and 5,300 yuan. The RTX 5050 Duo is listed at 2,450 yuan.

The adjustments are reportedly linked to higher GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory costs . Notices circulating among Chinese distributors claim increases of around 600 yuan for 8GB cards, 900 yuan for 12GB cards and 1,200 yuan for 16GB models. The two documents only cover distributor pricing in China and do not confirm equivalent changes in the US or Europe. But from what we can say, Chinese market always reacted quicker to such changes.
