If you're in the market for a new Nvidia Blackwell graphics card without the hefty price tag, turning to the manufacturers themselves is a smart move. MSI, a leading AIB partner of Nvidia, offers their products through their "Raideals" subsidiary on Walmart's online marketplace. Right now, you can find a range of cards from the budget-friendly RTX 5060 Ti to the high-end RTX 5080, some of which are priced at the lowest rates you'll find online.
However, remember that "list price" doesn't always align with Nvidia's suggested launch price. Take the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, for example, which launched at $429 but is listed by MSI at $609. This discrepancy can be attributed to enhanced build quality, superior cooling systems, and pre-installed overclocking features, along with the manufacturer's markup. Unless you manage to snag an Nvidia Founder's Edition card, these additional costs are a standard part of the deal.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"Easily able to handle most AAA games at 1080p with all the eye candy turned up, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is a great mid-range graphics card. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from the 8GB version."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is complicated. It does what it says on the tin: play games at 1440p at a high frame rate. But the problem is that it doesn’t necessarily do that better than the RTX 4070 Super, or any other graphics card in this price range. It does add Multi Frame Generation, which is nice to have for anyone with a high-refresh monitor, but that alone isn’t worth the upgrade."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"For the money, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is simply the best 4K graphics card for most people. It’s not only significantly faster than its predecessor, but DLSS 4 and multi frame generation will keep it relevant for years."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is an extremely competent 4K graphics card for its price. It’s just not quite the performance uplift that hardcore enthusiasts who upgrade every generation are going to want to see."
