Rumored pricing for NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics cards has emerged from China, suggesting price increases for both models. Please note that this is early pricing information and should be taken with a grain of salt.
According to leaker @wnxod, who has a history of accurate hardware information, NVIDIA plans to launch the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 in January 2025. The proposed pricing indicates increases for both models compared to their predecessors.
It's important to emphasize that early pricing details are often inaccurate. NVIDIA is known for making last-minute changes, so this information could change before the official launch.
Rumored Pricing
The RTX 5080 is rumored to be priced 5% higher than the launch price of the RTX 4080 (or RTX 4080 SUPER). In China, this would translate to 9,999 RMB, compared to the RTX 4080's initial price of 9,499 RMB. The RTX 5090, however, is expected to see a significant increase, reportedly costing 18,999 RMB, which is 46% higher than the RTX 4090's launch price.
| Graphics Card | Launch Price in China (RMB) | Price Change (vs Previous Gen) |
|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 4090 | 12999 | N/A |
| GeForce RTX 4080 | 9499 | N/A |
| GeForce RTX 5090 | 18999 | +46% (vs 4090) |
| GeForce RTX 5080 | 9999 | +5% (vs 4080) |
The higher price of the RTX 5090 could be retailer-specific, or it could be justified by other factors. Notably, a special version of the RTX 5090, known as the RTX 5090D, may be released for the Chinese market due to U.S. export restrictions. Rumors suggest that its hardware specifications won't differ significantly from the global version.
