NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Do we need them? we can pretty much guess, take the founders edition price... add 25-50%. boom. aib prices.
AIBs margins have been trimmed to the utmost (largely by NV) over the past few years. My guess is the lowest-priced AIB will start at £2200 for a 5090, £1200 for a 5080 RRP. Then there will be a bit of reseller pork belly added. We're looking at £2300 and £1300 for a bottom-rung Zotac or PNY.

One of the reasons nV made the prices somewhat lower than expected was to allow AIBs to add some on top.

I guess Nvidia saw everyone paying £2k for aib 5090's so they might as well charge that and take the majority of profit.
 
The MSI Vanguard has six additional dragons over the poor pathetic dragonless FE. £50 per dragon sounds like a fair price, so I'm estimating that model is going to cost around £2250.
 
I wonder how many 5090 FEs Nvidia hope to sell at £2k. Thats more than my mortgage payments by a couple of hundred!

Saying that people will lap it up at 2k and there won’t be any protest with peoples wallets.
I’d imagine most people buying it will be doing so for AI or professional workloads, very few gamers would spend 2k+ on GPUs.
 
Hopefully not many. :p as it's the first top end end card I plan to buy.
I know everyone is crapping on it, but I have been waiting years for an upgrade and want a fast GPU to pair with my 9800x3d. and 4090s are going for wel over 3 grand nowadays.
My guess, lowest will be 2.2k then 2.3-2.5k for various models the the aio ones 2.8-3k with Asus matrix 3.2k.
 
I paid £1910 for a Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 from overclockers on launch day so thats £210 over what the FE was, so yeah probably cheapest is going to be around £2150, easily going up to £2500 +

The only cards I found at MSRP when I bought my 4090 was the bottom end Gigabyte and Zotac cards.
Everything was marked up at least £100.

I will be pretty shocked if you can get a 5090 for under £2100.
 
I was really thinking to get 5090, not the workload but gaming. But the way it's designed (with ai in mind) I might pass on it. Nvidia clearly wasn't making gaming gpu this time, and hope it will give AMD advantage to pull out a competitive house next time

+30% gen on gen is a good improvement IMO. Even us 4090 users used frame gen on Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2 etc so it will come in useful.
