EU GPU price tracking reveals massive 35% markup disparities across retailers for high-VRAM cards over 30 days

A price tracker monitoring 7 European retailers since March 10th found extreme pricing gaps on identical GPUs — Sapphire RX 9070 16GB ranged from 589€ to 799€, a 35% difference

High-end cards show similarly wild variations: ASUS TUF RTX 5090 32GB priced at 3,499€ in one store vs 3,989€ in another, representing a 490€ unnecessary loss for buyers

RTX 5070 Ti models show 23% price gaps across stores, with MSI Ventus ranging from 919€ to 1,129€ for the identical card

Stores occasionally execute brief 'blink' price drops lasting 6-12 hours before raising prices — one confirmed example was ASUS Prime RTX 5070 dropping to 609€ from 673€
