RTX 5080 has risen to the RTX 5090’s launch price
In the US, the RTX 5080 is being sold for $1,800–1,900 only with in-store pickup, while prices without that condition start at $2,000
The graphics card became noticeably more expensive about a week ago. In the US, the most expensive versions are already approaching $2,500, while prices in Europe are comparable, except that they are quoted in euros.
For the RTX 5090, Nvidia set a recommended price of $2,000. The company does not revise its official price even when it diverges from actual market prices.
The RTX 5090 has been absent from store shelves for several weeks already. Nvidia denies that production has stopped, but there is still no clarity. Nevertheless, in the US these cards can be found for $5,500–6,000.
At least temporarily, the RTX 5080 is effectively serving as Nvidia’s flagship, including in terms of price. Its recommended price is $1,000, but even the RTX 5070 Ti is currently unavailable for that amount. The RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB are already close to this threshold.
