Nvidia RTX 5080 and 5090 prices surge past MSRPs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Nvidia's high-end RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics cards are seeing significant price increases from retailers like Best Buy and Amazon, with some custom models selling for well over their MSRPs. For example, the Asus ROG Astral RTX 5080 is listed at $2,099.99, exceeding the RTX 5090's original MSRP, while some RTX 5090 variants are priced above $4,300. This surge is attributed to the discontinuation of Nvidia's Observed Pricing Program, rising DRAM costs due to AI demand, and Nvidia's prioritization of higher-margin products. AI

IMPACT Increased GPU prices may impact AI researchers and developers relying on high-end graphics cards for training and inference.
