We know a fair amount about Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, but the long-term consideration beyond core count is cost. According to recent leaks and rumours, the top-end RTX 5080 and Nvidia RTX 5090 may require consumers to open their wallets wide enough to fit one of these. There are rumors that the card is big.– A famous tipster hints that the 5090 may be priced 40% more than the 4090 when it launched.
Nvidia Series 50 has not yet been confirmed. It even exists, let alone shared pricing details. But there are enough leaks and rumors to suggest that the card will be expensive. Twitter tipster @wnxodwhich shared accurate hardware information has posted images of the product list for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 in Chinese Yuan as seen. WCCFTech Over the weekend, the cards will be priced at 18,999 yuan and 9,999 yuan respectively, which works out to be closer to $2,600 and $1,400 in USD for the 5090 and 5080 models.

This should not be reflected in the cost price of the Nvidia RTX 5080 and 5090. These figures have not been confirmed. and prices in the US It will be different from China's which has a 13% value added tax. From that tax That would bring the 5090's price closer to $2,200. Still, we fully expect the rumored top-end GPUS to be priced higher than the 40-series. A Google Search rumor listing shows that The 5090 has 32GB of GDDR7 memory.– Further leaks indicate that the 5090 will have 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores, 5,000 more than its predecessor. According to the leak, the 5080 should be slightly better than the Ada Lovelace with 16GB of VRAM and 1,024 CUDA cores.
While the China price is accurate, Nvidia may change things before launch. However, it is hinted that the next Nvidia card could cost nearly 40% more than the 4090 when it launches. The 2022 GPU will cost $1,600 in October. 2022 The RTX 4080 will cost $1,200 at launch. Nowadays you can get both for less, although not by much. They will continue to drop in price due to the Series 50, although it will take some time for Blackwell to drop in the same way.
During the weekend YouTuber Verx has also shared leaked pricing information that points to an Australian price for the 50 Series cards. The YouTuber states that the 5080 could cost more than AU$2,500 or upwards of $1,500 USD. In the US, these SKUs are for the Asus DUAL model, although we don't know the exact configurations.
Everything we know at this point is just speculation. And you should take that into account. Expectations for the next top-end GPU all point to cards being more expensive than ever before. It makes me shudder to think of the pricing for any laptop that dares to stick a top-end Nvidia GPU inside.
This is why prices for the rumored RTX 5070, 5060, and 5060 Ti matter so much. All of those cards should be an upgrade from the 40 series, but with a slight gain, the RTX 5080, especially the 5090, seems more suitable for AI processes, graphics, and gaming. The amount of VRAM leaks out in high-end cards. Both memory cards will be especially important in handling AI capabilities, with the 5060 and 5060 Ti reportedly being more conservative. WCCFTech– The 5060 is expected to have only 8GB of VRAM. The Ti model will get 16 GB like the 5070 (according to rumors from @kopite7kimi) and 5080
Nvidia doesn't have much competition for top-end GPUs. There are rumors that AMD will also share information about it. RX8000 Series Cards We don't yet know if the supposed price of the next-gen RTX will match its actual performance. at least We won't have to wait too long to find out. CES 2025 is scheduled to start on January 1. 6. Nvidia Speech It will happen that day at 6:30 PM PT and 9:30 PM ET.
