- Prices for custom RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards have been leaked.
- The former will have variants that cost nearly $3000, while the latter will have variants priced close to $2000.
- More information on official pricing should be available in just a few days.
Nvidia’s latest flagship gaming graphics cards are nearly upon us, promising a new generation of gaming with features like improvements to DLSS and multi-frame generation.
However, these upgrades come at a cost, and these costs are all the more noticeable when considering the prices of AIB graphics cards. In fact, a leak shows that custom RTX 5090 models will cost nearly $3000.
Why it matters: Nvidia marketed the RTX 5090 as a $2000 GPU, but this leak hints that it will rarely, if ever, be found close to this price on the real market.
The leak comes from the popular PC-building website PCpartpicker, which has been able to identify prices from retailed B&H Photo. As per the listings, the Asus ROG Astral OC RTX 5090 costs a whopping $2799, while the same model of the RTX 5080 is priced at $1899.
The cheapest RTX 5090, the MSI Ventus 3X OC, is listed for about $2199, and a similar model from MSI is available for the RTX 5080 at a price of $1199, but it remains to be seen how well these particular variants will hold up.
Other models like the Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5090 and 5080 are listed for $2449 and $1699, respectively. It is important to note that the RTX 4090, which debuted at an MSRP of $1600 at release, was rarely found close to this price from board partners.
Therefore, its successor seems to be headed toward a similar fate.
This could be a deal breaker for some, especially considering the jump in performance offered by the RTX 5090 and its inability to run ray-traced games flawlessly without upscaling solutions like DLSS.
Following this leak, official pricing information will also be available soon, in addition to reviews and benchmarks of the RTX 5090 and 5080. Both GPUs certainly look impressive, but it remains to be seen if the market will take a liking to Nvidia’s latest gaming products.
What are your thoughts on the AIB prices? Do you plan on buying a custom model or the Founders Edition? Let’s discuss this in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
