LLM GPU Price Index, Week of 2026-10-05: $ per GB of VRAM
In the week-of-2026-10-05 edition of the SpecPicks LLM GPU Price Index, among the 7 of 19 tracked cards with a quotable Amazon price, the cheapest new VRAM per GB was the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB: $530 for 16 GB, or $33.12 per GB (read 2026-10-05).
What moved since the week of 2026-09-28: RTX 3060 12GB down 13.0% to $400 (from $460); RTX 3060 Ti up 5.6% to $380 (from $360); RTX 5060 Ti 16GB up 2.1% to $530 (from $519).
7 of 19 cards had a quotable new price. The other 12 are blank because fewer than 2 of their Amazon listings were both checked in the last 24 hours and priced between 0.5× and 1.6× launch MSRP; a listing marked up past that is not quoted as the card’s price.
This is a frozen edition: the first price reading of the week of 2026-10-05, stored and never overwritten. For this week’s prices and buy links, see the live index. This edition’s table as CSV: specpicks.com/data/gpu-price-index/2026-10-05.csv (CC BY 4.0).
*New prices are snapshots of Amazon listings read on 2026-10-05 and are not live quotes: price may vary. Used eBay medians are not available yet: no tracked card had the 8 listings in 7 days a median needs, so the used columns are left out. Method: how the index is built.
