On paper, it’s hard to quibble with NVIDIA’s pricing on its newly minted GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (see our review), even with much of the uplift over last-gen coming from DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. The 16GB model at a $429 MSRP is actually $70 less than the launch price of the previous generation GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, while the 8GB’s $379 starting price is $20 cheaper than the card it’s replacing. In practice? It’s another hard-to-find GPU, and some listings on eBay are priced upwards of $800. We’re not sure whether to laugh or cry. Either way, nobody should be paying a 2x markup over NVIDIA’s baseline MSRP for what’s supposed to a semi-affordable mid-range graphics card. And so far, it doesn’t look like people are—taking a gander at completed auctions that attracted a buyer, we only see one, a factory overclocked Zotac GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Twin Edge 16GB model that sold for $650.

On April 17 (Thursday), Judge Leonie Brinkema of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruled against Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) in the antitrust case concerning its advertising technology business, casting a shroud of uncertainty over the future of the tech giant’s online advertising business. Brinkema will now need to determine what remedies to impose on Google to restore fair market competition. The plaintiffs sought to force Google to divest its Ad Manager, which includes the company’s publisher ad server and its ad exchange, to restore competition in the market. This outcome is far more likely following Judge Brinkema’s ruling. This is a developing story happening alongside a similar case against Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), which is being sued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for allegedly monopolizing social media through its acquisition of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. This trial against Google began in September 2024, and the plaintiffs in the lawsuit comprise the Depar
