The Nvidia RTX 5090 Might Price Extra Than Most Gaming PCs

We all know a good quantity about Nvidia’s anticipated GeForce RTX 50-series graphics playing cards, however the one lasting consideration past their core counts is their price. Based on the most recent leaks and rumors, the RTX 5080 and the top-end Nvidia RTX 5090 may require customers to open their wallets huge sufficient to suit considered one of these rumored massive cards. Famous tipsters trace that the 5090 could price 40% greater than the 4090 did at launch.

Nvidia has yet to confirm that the 50-series even exists, not to mention share pricing particulars, however there are sufficient leaks and rumors to recommend the playing cards might be expensive. Twitter tipster @wnxod, who has shared some correct {hardware} data, posted a picture of a product itemizing for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 in Chinese language Yuan. As noticed by WCCFTech over the weekend, the playing cards will price 18,999 yuan and 9,999 yuan, respectively. That may be near $2,600 and $1,400 in USD for the 5090 and 5080.

None of this needs to be mirrored within the Nvidia RTX 5080 and 5090 worth prices. These numbers are unconfirmed, and U.S. pricing will differ from Chinese language counterparts with China’s 13% VAT. Based on that tax, it will put the value of the 5090 nearer to $2,200. Nonetheless, we totally anticipate the rumored top-end Blackwell GPUS to price greater than the 40-series. Rumors primarily based on Google Search listings present the 5090 sporting 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Extra leaks point out the 5090 may have 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores, 5,000 greater than the final era. Based on leaks, the 5080 needs to be marginally higher than its Ada Lovelace counterpart, with 16GB of VRAM and 1,024 extra CUDA cores.

Even when the Chinese language pricing is correct, Nvidia could change issues earlier than the discharge. Nevertheless, it hints that the next-gen Nvidia playing cards may price almost 40% greater than the 4090 did at launch. That 2022 GPU price $1,600 in October 2022. The RTX 4080 price $1,200 when it made its debut. These days, you could find each for much less, although not by a lot. They’ll proceed to drop in worth due to the 50-series, although it’s going to take time to see Blackwell decline in a similar way.

Over the weekend, YouTuber Vex additionally shared leaked pricing data pointing to Australia’s 50-series playing cards’ worth. Based on the YouTuber, the 5080 could price greater than 2,500 in AUD, or above $1,500 within the U.S. These SKUs are for a supposed Asus DUAL variant, although we don’t know what precise configuration that may embrace.

All the pieces we all know at this level is conjecture, and it’s best to take it with a grain of salt. Expectations for the subsequent top-end GPU all level to far costlier playing cards than ever, making me shudder fascinated by pricing for any laptop computer that dares stick a top-end Nvidia GPU inside.

That is why the fee for the rumored RTX 5070, 5060, and 5060 Ti might be so essential. All these playing cards are alleged to be upgraded over the 40-series however with extra marginal positive factors. The RTX 5080, particularly the 5090, appears geared for AI processes, graphics, and gaming. The leaked VRAM counts on each high-end playing cards can be particularly necessary for dealing with AI capabilities. The 5060 and 5060 Ti might be rather more conservative, in line with a report by WCCFTech. The 5060 will supposedly solely have 8GB of VRAM. The Ti model will get 16 GB, the identical because the 5070 (in line with rumors from @kopite7kimi) and the 5080.

Nvidia doesn’t have a lot competitors for the tippy high finish of GPUs. Rumors recommend AMD may also share data on its RX 8000 series playing cards. We don’t but know if the supposed price of the next-gen RTX is equal to their precise efficiency. On the very least, we received’t have to attend too lengthy to seek out out. CES 2025 is about to start on Jan. 6. Nvidia’s keynote will happen that day, 6:30 p.m. PT and 9:30 p.m. ET.
