We’re all eagerly awaiting the launch of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, and we at all times knew this new gaming GPU wouldn’t be low-cost, nevertheless it seems to be as if the worth of this graphics card shall be even greater than we anticipated. In keeping with this leak, the RTX 5090 goes to value considerably greater than its predecessor, the RTX 4090.
Though Nvidia hasn’t formally revealed the RTX 5090 launch date but, the corporate is extensively anticipated to unveil it on the CES commerce present in January 2025. With AMD leaving the high-end GPU market to Nvidia for the second, the 5090 could be very more likely to be the very best graphics card for gaming when it comes out, however you’re going to must pay some huge cash to bag this flagship graphics card.
This newest rumor comes from the Chiphell boards, the place a daily tech leaker, wjm47196, has began a thread referred to as “5090 msrp.” Within the first submit, wjm47196 says “1999-2499 gddr7,” which we will solely assume refers back to the value of the cardboard talked about within the thread title, with the rumored 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM presumably contributing to the hefty value.
The consumer additionally laments that “I can’t afford it anymore,” and we’re positive wjm47196 gained’t be the one one if this value is right. As at all times with leaks, keep in mind that this value is firmly in rumor territory, and hasn’t been formally confirmed by Nvidia, nevertheless it’s not out of the realms of chance.
In any case, whereas the RTX 4090 Founders Version formally launched at an MSRP of $1,599, the Founders Version is almost at all times out of inventory, and a fast take a look at the Nvidia web site reveals that board companion playing cards begin at $1,799, and go upward from there. The Asus Strix RTX 4090 OC at present goes for $1,999, so it’s not a stretch to consider that the RTX 5090 will begin at this value and go upward.
What’s extra, with no direct competitors, now that AMD has deserted high-end GPUs for the second, Nvidia can principally cost what it likes for its top-end GPU. The corporate might gamble that if somebody can afford to pay $1,599 to get the very best graphics card, then they might in all probability pay much more. We simply all must hope that the RTX 5080 may have a extra affordable value than the RTX 4080 when it launched, and hopefully competitors from AMD will preserve down the worth of the RTX 5070.
