The Nvidia RTX 5090 can cost more than most gaming PCs

We know quite a bit about Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, but the one thing that sticks out beyond their basic numbers is their price. According to the latest leaks and rumors, the RTX 5080 and top-of-the-line Nvidia RTX 5090 may require consumers to open their wallets wide enough to fit one of these. rumors massive cards. The tipsters mentioned indicate that the 5090 could be 40% more expensive than the 4090.

Nvidia It has not yet confirmed that it is a 50 series aside from sharing pricing details, it’s even available, but there are enough leaks and rumors to suggest the cards will be expensive. Twitter advisor @wnxodSharing some exact hardware information, China Yuan has posted an image of the product listing for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. As seen WCCFTech the weekend cards will cost 18,999 yuan and 9,999 yuan, respectively. That would be close to $2,600 and $1,400 for the 5090 and 5080, respectively.

None of this should be reflected in the price costs of the Nvidia RTX 5080 and 5090. These figures are unconfirmed and US prices will differ from their Chinese counterparts with China’s 13% VAT. That tax would bring the price of the 5090 closer to $2,200. Still, we expect the top-of-the-line Blackwell GPUS to be more expensive than the rumored 40 series. Google Search shows rumors based on listings 5090 with 32 GB GDDR7 memory. More leaks mention that the 5090 will have 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores, which is 5,000 more than the last generation. According to the leaks, the 5080 should be slightly better than its Ada Lovelace counterpart, with 16GB of VRAM and 1024 more CUDA cores.

Even if the Chinese prices are accurate, Nvidia can change things before launch. However, it does hint that the next generation of Nvidia cards could be around 40% more expensive than the 4090. That 2022 GPU cost $1,600 in October 2022. The RTX 4080 cost $1,200 when it debuted. You can find both for less these days, though not by much. Thanks to the 50 series, they will continue to drop prices, although it will take time to see Blackwell drop in a similar fashion.

Weekend, YouTuber Vex It also shared leaked pricing information that hinted at the price of Australia’s 50-series cards. According to the YouTuber, the 5080 could cost upwards of 2,500 in AUD or over $1,500 in the US. .

Everything we know at this point is speculation and you should take it with a grain of salt. The anticipation for the next high-end GPU points to more expensive cards than ever, and makes me wonder about the prices of any laptop that dares to stick a top-of-the-line Nvidia GPU inside.

Therefore, the price of the rumored RTX 5070, 5060 and 5060 Ti will be very important. All of these cards are meant to be improvements over the 40 series, but with more marginal gains. The RTX 5080, especially the 5090, is designed for AI processes, graphics and gaming. Leaked VRAM counts on both high-end cards would be especially important for handling AI capabilities. According to one report, the 5060 and 5060 Ti will be more conservative WCCFTech. The 5060 will only have 8GB of VRAM. The Ti version will get the same 16GB as the 5070 (rumored Like @kopite7) and 5080.

Nvidia doesn’t have much competition for the highest end of GPUs. Rumors suggest that AMD will also share information about it RX 8000 series cards. We still don’t know if the supposed cost of the next generation RTX is equal to their real performance. At least we won’t have to wait long to find out. CES 2025 will begin on January 6. Nvidia key word will take place at 6:30 PM PT and 9:30 PM ET that day.
