- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has seemingly dismissed the RTX 5090 pricing concerns in a new statement.
- He claims gamers who opt for the flagship want the best and don’t want to trade for slightly worse by saving $100.
- Jensen accepts that the 5090 is not for everyone; it’s for gamers who already spend thousands on their rigs.
Many gamers are arguing that Nvidia has inflated the pricing of its new RTX 5090 GPU by outright doubling it compared to the RTX 4090. The rest of the lineup is also quite expensive for an everyday gamer.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has dismissed these concerns entirely while clarifying that the flagship experience only comes with a pretty penny.
Why it matters: Nvidia CEO says the 5090’s exorbitant pricing is not a concern since it offers the best specs that the targeted audience wants.
In an in-depth interview with global media following the opening keynote at CES 2025, the Nvidia CEO claims that gamers who will go for the RTX 5090 do not mind the $1999 price tag. These ‘enthusiasts’ don’t want to save $100 by opting for something slightly worse.
Our enthusiasts, if they want the best, they won’t settle for something slightly better or save $100 by choosing something a bit worse.
-Jensen Huang, CEO Nvidia
Huand understands that it is not a small amount, and 5090 is not meant for everyone. He believes that gamers who spend over $10K building a theater-level PC setup can also afford the GPU with ease.
Previously, results have shown that the RTX 50 series only offers limited performance gains over the RTX 40 lineup without using DLSS 4.0 and Multi Frame Generation. So, the claims made about RTX 50’s performance simply fail to hold up, as per our report.
