If you're on the hunt for one of the brand-new Nvidia Blackwell graphics cards without breaking the bank, your best bet might just be to go straight to the source—or at least one of Nvidia's most trusted partners. MSI is among the top AIB (Add-in-Board) manufacturers and offers its own line of high-quality graphics cards through Walmart under the "Raideals" brand, which is a subsidiary storefront.
At the moment, several RTX 50-series GPUs are available, from the budget-friendly RTX 5060 Ti all the way up to the powerhouse RTX 5080. Some of these listings even show up as the lowest prices online, making them a compelling option for savvy buyers.
It’s important to note that “list price” doesn’t always mean “launch price.” Take the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, for example—it launched at $429, but the most affordable version currently listed from MSI is priced at $609. This difference often reflects enhanced build quality, better cooling systems, factory overclocking, and the manufacturer’s margin. Unless you can track down an elusive Nvidia Founder’s Edition card—which rarely shows up in stock—this kind of markup is mostly unavoidable.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The RTX 5060 Ti is a solid mid-range GPU capable of handling most AAA titles at 1080p with maxed-out settings. However, steer clear of the 8GB model if possible."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The RTX 5070 performs as expected—capable of smooth 1440p gaming—but it doesn't offer a significant advantage over similarly priced alternatives like the RTX 4070 Super. The inclusion of Multi Frame Generation is welcome, especially for high-refresh-rate displays, but may not justify an upgrade."

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The RTX 5080 delivers excellent performance for 4K gaming at its price point. That said, those expecting a dramatic leap over previous generations may find themselves wanting more."
