Noted tipsters hint that the 5090 may cost 40% more than the 4090 did at launch.
As spotted byWCCFTechover the weekend, the cards will cost 18,999 yuan and 9,999 yuan, respectively.
That would be close to $2,600 and $1,400 in USD for the 5090 and 5080.

Based on that tax, the price of the 5090 would be closer to $2,200.
Still, we fully expect the rumored top-end Blackwell GPUS to cost more than the 40-series.
Rumors based on Google Search listings show the5090 sporting 32GB of GDDR7 memory.
More leaks mention the 5090 will have 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores, 5,000 more than the last generation.
Even if the Chinese pricing is accurate, Nvidia may change things before release.
That 2022 GPU cost $1,600 in October 2022.
The RTX 4080 cost $1,200 when it made its debut.
Nowadays, you might find both for less, though not by much.
Over the weekend, YouTuberVexalso shared leaked pricing info pointing to the cost of the 50-series cards in Australia.
Everything we know at this point is conjecture, and you should take it with a grain of salt.
All those cards are supposed to be upgraded over the 40-series but with more marginal gains.
The RTX 5080 and, especially, the 5090 seem geared for AI processes alongside graphics and gaming.
The leaked VRAM counts on both high-end cards would be especially important for handling AI capabilities.
The 5060 and 5060 Ti will be much more conservative, according to a report byWCCFTech.
The 5060 will supposedly only have 8GB of VRAM.
Nvidia doesnt have much competition for the tippy top end of GPUs.
Rumors suggest AMD will also share info on itsRX 8000 seriescards in January.
We dont yet know if the supposed cost of the next-gen RTX is equivalent to their actual performance.
At the very least, we wont have to wait too long to find out.
