Huaqiangbei Sees Unprecedented RTX 4090 Price Surge
Recently, various media sources visited Huaqiangbei and other tech markets, uncovering a significant jump in RTX 4090 prices. On February 18, the price of a single unit increased by several thousand yuan. Despite this, there remains a persistent shortage of stock. Multiple merchants in Huaqiangbei confirmed that the RTX 4090 price surged rapidly on that day, with increases ranging from 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. Some models that were initially sold for around 16,000 yuan surged past 20,000 yuan in a short span. By February 19, most stores reported that the RTX 4090 was completely out of stock.
Many retailers expressed frustration, stating, “The prices are too chaotic now, and high pricing is found everywhere.” According to media statistics, the highest reported price for the RTX 4090 reached 20,000 yuan, while the lowest was 16,500 yuan, creating a price difference of up to 3,500 yuan.

Price Surge Extends to Online Platforms
Not only are physical stores experiencing price fluctuations, but e-commerce platforms are also witnessing similar trends. The standard pricing for the RTX 4090, which was initially set at 12,999 yuan, has now reached between 16,500 and 29,999 yuan in various online stores. The high-end configurations of the RTX 4090 are being listed for over 30,000 yuan, further demonstrating the impact of this price surge.
What’s Causing the RTX 4090 Price Increase?
The sharp increase in RTX 4090 prices is not due to a sudden spike in consumer demand. Instead, many individuals and businesses are stockpiling units to sell at inflated prices, leading to artificial scarcity. Fortunately, other graphics cards, such as the RTX 4080, have not experienced such drastic price hikes—at least for now. However, some merchants speculate that if the RTX 4090 remains out of stock, the prices of GPUs like the RTX 4080 could also rise significantly shortly.
For now, enthusiasts and gamers will need to monitor the market closely as the situation unfolds. Stay updated with the latest developments on Tinydeal’s blog. If supply stabilizes, prices may return to normal, but the uncertainty surrounding this price surge remains a key concern for many buyers.
