RTX 50 series GPU pricing leaks, and it is horrific
Nvidia, you’d be insane to launch your RTX 50 series GPUs at these prices
Pricing information for Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 50 series of GPUs has leaked through Moore’s Law is Dead, and if these prices are legitimate, Nvidia needs a sanity check. Nvidia have reportedly briefed their partners on their RTX 5000 series, confirming 2025 launch plans and prices that they are considering. Below are the RTX 50 series prices that Nvidia are reportedly considering.
- RTX 5090 – $1,999 to $2,499
- RTX 5080 – $1,199 to 1,499
- RTX 5070 – $599 – $699
Simply put, these prices are insane. When the RTX 4080 launched with a price tag of $1,199, everyone thought it was overpriced. There’s a reason why the RTX 4080 SUPER launched with higher specs for $999. With the RTX 5080, Nvidia is reportedly considering a return to its $1,199 price point and even higher prices. Simply put, PC gamers will be angered by this, as nobody wants to see GPU pricing skyrocket any further.
Moore’s Law is Dead has also reported that Nvidia’s RTX 5070 will deliver rasterisation performance similar to an RTX 4070 Ti and faster ray tracing performance. If true, gamers will not get much more value for money over today’s GPU pricing with Nvidia’s next-gen products. This is hugely disappointing for PC builders, especially those on tight budgets.
If Nvidia is considering these prices, they may need to think again. $1,000+ for a non-flagship product is a huge ask. Beyond that, many customers will not be excited about the RTX 50 unless it delivers gamers more value for money. For many gamers, money is tight, and those customers must feel that their money is well spent to be willing to upgrade. If Nvidia doesn’t deliver good value, a lot of gamers will simply skip the RTX 50 GPU generation.
