Could this be an early look at Gigabyte's GeForce RTX 5080 prices? Best Buy appears to have listed several variants of the upcoming RTX 5080 graphics cards prematurely. If these listings are to be believed, expect the price of the new card to begin at $999 for the WindForce OC and up to as high as $1399 for the high-end XTREME WaterForce.

Seven Flavors of RTX 5080 from Gigabyte
At least seven different Gigabyte RTX 5080 variants have popped up on Best Buy's website to complement NVIDIA's own Founders Edition. The leak serves well to give a good idea about how extensive Gigabyte's lineup could be in order to meet the requirements and budgets of different consumers. Here is the list of models along with prices:
Model | Price (USD) | Key Features |
---|---|---|
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 WindForce OC SFF | $999.99 | Compact design, factory overclocked |
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming OC | $1199.99 | Enhanced cooling, gaming focused |
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 AERO SFF OC | $1249.99 | Compact, stylish AERO design, overclocked |
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 AORUS Master ICE | $1299.99 | Premium AORUS features, advanced ICE cooling |
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 AORUS Master | $1299.99 | Top-tier AORUS, high performance |
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 XTREME WaterForce WB | $1349.99 | Water block for custom liquid cooling |
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 XTREME WaterForce | $1399.99 | Premium AIO liquid cooling solution |
Price Points and What to Expect
The most budget-friendly, the WindForce OC SFF, has the same MSRP as the Founders Edition. This is great news for gamers seeking the base price point. This compact card still promises a factory overclock for a little extra performance right out of the box. As you go up the range to the AORUS and XTREME models, things get a lot more expensive. This reflects premium features, enhanced cooling, and likely higher factory overclocks.
The fully loaded XTREME WaterForce sells for $1399.99 and ships with an AIO liquid cooler pre-installed for ultimate thermal performance. If you'd rather roll your own custom loops, the XTREME WaterForce WB provides a water block-only solution. It saves $50 but still commands a $350 premium over the base Founders Edition.
Availability and the Big Question
While the listings are up on Best Buy, you can't actually buy these cards just yet. But the big question remains: will you be able to snag one when they go live? There are rumors that initial stock might be very limited. If you want to upgrade to an RTX 5080, be prepared to act fast.
