Even though its official price and the GPU’s actual performance levels are still unknown, the GeForce RTX 5090 is arguably Nvidia’s worst-kept secret. According to rumors, the new GPU might be released on January 20th, and it is generally assumed that it will be unveiled at CES 2025. According to Bits and Chips, Nvidia’s upcoming flagship gaming video card will retail for $1900.
Nvidia’s MSRP for the RTX 5090 will be $300 more than that of the RTX 4090 if this pricing is accurate. Nevertheless, Nvidia’s RTX 4090 has not been on the market for its MSRP pricing in a very long time. The price of this GPU has increased recently, most likely as a result of declining stock levels before the release of Nvidia’s RTX 50 series GPU. In any case, a $300 price rise is not negligible.
According to recent rumors, Nvidia’s RTX 5090 will have an enormous 32GB frame buffer. Additionally, according to another leak of RTX 5090 specifications, it would have a 600W TDP, 32GB of GDDR7 memory, and 21,760 CUDA cores.
It seems likely that Nvidia will not face any competition in the ultra-high-end GPU market next year. AMD and Intel are both planning to concentrate on the mid-range market. Nvidia is now free to determine how much their next flagship will cost.
Their last-generation products, which are already scarce, are their only rivals, after all. It should be mentioned that with each generation, Nvidia has raised the price of their new flagships. For nearly ten years, this has been the situation.
Will the RTX 5090 from Nvidia cost $1900?
Most likely. If its performance is sufficient to support its pricing, Nvidia has no need to reduce it. The price of this GPU cannot be lowered by competition, and the RTX 4090 is already frequently more expensive than these.
