​
According to the leaked details, the GeForce RTX 5080 is set to come with a significant price tag. The leak reportedly comes from an Australian retail source, revealing that the card will feature 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a notable upgrade in memory technology. However, it’s the price that’s truly raising eyebrows.


The RTX 5080’s estimated MSRP in Australia is AUD 2,799, which translates to approximately USD 1,746 after conversion. For U.S. markets, the price could range from USD 1,400 to USD 1,600, depending on regional factors like sales tax and retailer markups.

RTX 5090 Price is set for $1999- $2399,99

These prices are outrageous, but they can afford it, they have almost all the market share to themselves and the best technology.

I highly doubt those 5080 prices given that they had to price the 4080 super lower than a 4080. Nvidia knows they cant get away with charging much for just gaming cards, theyve tried, but the market has already shown that it wont bear it with a 4080.

The prices outside of US are almost always significantly higher, so just doing a direct conversion is not enough. Id be shocked if 5080s official MSRP (in USD) isnt in the 900-1100$ range.

5090 on the other hand is a different story.

That's been the rumored price for months and you just need to have a look at the current, real price of a 4090 to know there was no fucking way in hell this thing would be less than 2000 USD for the cheapest models. Expect to pay 2200 to 2300 for most of them and expect them to be hard to find.

Nvidia would rather not bother selling graphics cards at all at the moment.

After their loss with expensive Ada, you think they want a 2nd attempt?

The only play here is to buy before Trump tariffs and resell later.

Oops I didn't know they failed scalping the previous generation. Good shit.

But they will still TRY! No?

So eBay and reseller website will have stock meanwhile we'll be looking at these dumboz inventory and price.

Friendly reminder that Nvidia is the company that released the $200 8800GT that brought high end performance to the masses at a good price:

"Rather than actually create a midrange part based on G80, NVIDIA opted to tweak the core, shrink to a 65nm process, integrate the display engine, and come out with hardware that performed somewhere between the high end 8800 GTS and GTX (G92). While this, in itself, isn't remarkable, the fact that NVIDIA is pricing this card between $200 and $250 is. Essentially, we've been given a revised high end part at midrange prices. The resulting card, the 8800 GT, essentially cannibalizes a large chunk of NVIDIA's own DX10 class hardware lineup. Needless to say, it also further puts AMD's 2900 XT to shame."

Those days are just gone now.

Moderated wildly
I was told not to expect the 5080 to be too much more than 4080 but 5090 would see a jump.

Maybe that wasn't true.

I clearly remember when they released, most adult I knew at that time got one. I could only afford the 7600GT but still was a bang for your buck. Titan Quest ran at like 30fps on low.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
We're stuck in an endless circle of greed where Nvidia keep raising the prices, sales go down which makes Nvidia raise the price to keep revenues up, which makes the sales go down, which makes Nvidia raise the price to keep revenues up, etc etc.

This would be the perfect for the competition to swoop in and grab marketshare but Nvidia has no competition whatsoever at the mid and high end so consumers are screwed.

Jesus, in every Nvidia thread the same bullshit....
The 4090 is not being produced anymore, you are basically looking at collector prices. Before it got discontinued it was available rather close to its 1699 msrp, often times quite a bit below that in deals.
So stop it with this "but but but the current prices" nonsense.

Long gone..

These new prices make the 1080 Ti seem like a bargain comparatively and it’s not even that long ago

Good news is that, I really can’t think of a game where I need this in 2025 or even what I know of 2026 games. Games still target consoles so to have monster GPUs at this point is to waste it on 4K native or wanting >200 fps or tank performances with ultra maximum extreme X will it run settings, which needs a 400% zoom from digital foundry to even find a difference with high/medium.

So no buy from me

AMD and Intel have to step it up

personally I was ready to splurge ~2k on a 5090 but when I look at how many games will actually make use of that and how many of that kind are announced.....

Let´s just say that I´m simply not comfortable buying such a monster when I know that 95% of my playtime is gonna be LoL and Monster Hunter in the end.....

I guess at this point we actually have to be thankful that Nvidia is using production capacities on GPUs at all as they are nowhere as profitable as their datacenter products.
Imho the whole Gamer GPU side of things is at best PR atm, and it shows in the ridiculous pricing.

Excellent point.

Back in the 8800GT days, a high end consumer GPU was still not playing the latest PC games at insane resolutions or framerates, even compared to their contemporary consoles. I remember Crysis Warhead on the 8800GT was a 720p 30-40fps game at less than highest settings.

Today a console equivalent GPU is probably still in the $200-$300 range like the 8800GT, with the difference now being that the GPU market ceiling has been way raised up to include models that keep scaling up to support resolutions and framerates that go way beyond contemporary consoles.

Because Nvidia has done the most to push tech forward with their RTX line, I just really wish they took their $200-$300 segment competition as seriously again as they do their unnecessarily high end offerings. I'm not expecting 4090 performance for $200-$300, but 4070 would be nice. And throw in enough VRAM now that 8GB is getting all blown out even at 1080p. They really ought to be able to do that much in this price range.
