NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 expected pricing surfaces online. Both models are rumored to cost around $2,600 and $1,370, respectively.
NVIDIA's RTX 50 Series High-End Models Will See A Noticeable Price Increase, Mid-Range Models Might Remain Consistent
Team Green's next-gen GPU rumors are coming in at full force, and while we have seen extensive information surrounding the specifications of the models, now, we have information on the expected pricing, and it doesn't sound too good to consumers. Before we dive into the leaked pricing, it is important to note that this is just speculation for now, hence readers should take this information with a grain of salt.
Based on information from @wxnod, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 is expected to cost around 18,999 yuan, while the GeForce RTX 5080 is expected to retail around 9999 yuan, which does mark a noticeable increase in MSRPs from the previous-gen lineup.

It won't be wrong to say that the $2,500-$3,000 looks a great possibility for the GeForce RTX 5090, as NVIDIA is expected to bring in significant performance improvements through integrating features such as GDDR7 memory modules. Similarly, the GeForce RTX 5080 is too likely to see a price increase in MSRP, and yet again, a $1,000-$1,500 price segment is what we can anticipate for the SKU, given the past leak which revealed a listing of the GPU by an Australian retailer.
Considering that NVIDIA is the sole competitor looking to battle in the high-end consumer GPU segment, the firm might implement a general MSRP increase, especially for its higher-end models, given that it has the opportunity now. For the mid-range to lower-end models, we expect consistency in pricing since they will compete with head-to-head mainstream options by AMD and Intel, but those looking to get their hands on NVIDIA's flagship GPUs would likely need to break the bank for now.
Well, since things aren't official for now, we shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet, but we should anticipate massive announcements by NVIDIA surrounding the "Blackwell" consumer GPU lineup, which is set to occur by January 6. However, at least for now, a generational MSRP price bump looks imminent, at least for the higher-end models.
