Are you planning to build a new gaming PC soon? You might want to check your bank account first. Prices for graphics cards in Singapore are jumping up. Many local gamers are worried about sudden stock shortages. Is your dream upgrade slipping away?
The Current Market Pulse
- Prices on Shopee and Lazada are rising quickly
“I see 5080s on shopee around 2k already 5070ti close to 1.4k”
- Rumors suggest the RTX 5070 Ti is reaching EOL status
“RIP 5070ti users. haven use one year already EOL.”
- Local stock at Techyard and other shops is very limited
The community is noticing a massive shift in the market. Some cards that were $1,200 last month are now much higher. Production for popular mid-range models might be ending. This creates a panic for those building new rigs.
The Real Struggles
- Shopping app vouchers are getting harder to use
“Lazada/Shopee account somewhat got restricted from using vouchers.”
- Local sets are heavily marked up compared to overseas
“what’s available locally was seriously marked up. So bo bian, paid.”
- Technical confusion over binned chips and VRAM limits
Many users feel frustrated by restrictive shopping platforms. Finding a fair price in Singapore feels like a full-time job. Warranty concerns also stop people from buying cheaper sets from Amazon US. It is a tough time for budget gamers.
Your Success Path
- Secure your hardware before production officially stops
“I rmb a bro here urging everyone to buy before the price increase”
- Look at AMD cards for better rasterization value
- Stop checking prices once you have made your purchase
“Once decided at that point of time, just use cos you like it. Why look back?”
If you see a decent deal now, take it. Do not wait for the next big sale. Use resources like Amazon US if local prices are too high. Focus on enjoying your games instead of tracking every price drop.
The GPU market in 2026 is looking very volatile. Stay updated on forum threads to catch the best deals. Happy gaming, and may your frame rates be high!
