NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 Rumored To Feature A Whopping $1,500+ MSRP, Marking A Huge Difference From The GeForce RTX 4080
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 "Blackwell" GPU is rumored to cost a whopping $1,500 MSRP, based on a leaked listing at an Australian retail store.wccftech.com
So basically expect £1500 or more for the 5080.
Interesting no price on 5090 yet, must be a split launch then
I would not be surprised if this is deliberate leaks so they can release at $1200 and people will fall for the “cheaper than expected… what a bargain”. Remember the 4080 S was released cheaper than the original 4080. Nvidia most likely want it back at that original price.

Yeah. Been using that tactic for many gens. 1500 just makes zero sense.
It's like what done at the petrol pumps, shoot the price up by say 15p or 20p, everyone moans, then eventually it goes back down to a few pence above where it was originally and everyone goes 'that's not too bad'.

Hoping the 5070 Ti comes in around ~ £800. if not I'll just wait until I can pick up a used one down the line or see what AMD and Intel have on offer for that price or less.

They are reportedly releasing a new card with same performance as 7900GRE/4070 at the same price ($650) and thats it

I think the way Nvidia see it is that if it is faster it is more expensive.
5080 faster than 4090?
Then it is in the tier above and priced to match.

Not with less VRAM IMO. The thing is we are all hyped for SUPER expensive pricing, just expensive pricing is going to have people shouting amazing value.
I've been having a great time with my 3050 at 4k. I want a new card, but only to a certain point (£1200 5080 & £2200 5090 max).
That's not it. They see it as no competition, crazy mind share, and AI craze so might as well.
If they saw it like you said, over the years price for performance would never have improved and a 4090/5090 would have cost a lot more.

I'm not super gutted about it. But selling my 4090 for £1700 might have been premature lol. Crazy to think 2k set aside might not be enough for a 5090.
That's as much as I'm willing to put out for one as well, Which to be honest is still pretty ridiculous, But unfortunately CUDA Is the real reason I'm looking at getting one. But even then I don't think I could remotely justify anything over £2k. But if that's the way Nvidia want to play it then I also don't have any problems with getting a second hand 4090 and just sucking up the performance difference for the ai stuff.

It's a lot of money to pay without a warranty though. But yeah 2000-2200, is my limit. If the 5080 really is £1500 and the 5090 is literally double the specs we have no chance. So fingers crossed it's not true. The +20% UK VAT makes it worse than US pricing.
That said it would also rule out the 5080 as thar is far too much for that spec.
So 2025 might be the year of MS Calculator and Minesweeper.

If you could part with £2200 you'll digest £2499 if it comes at that price.
