News Custom RTX 5090, RTX 5080 listed for up to $2,800 and $1,400 overseas — initial pricing exceeds MSRP

I also only game at 4K, but where I make concessions is in the frame rate. I can settle for 40 FPS, but want ALL the eye candy turned on. DLSS Quality setting I will also allow, but not frame generation. My 4090 should be fine for another generation.

I run a 4K 120hz OLED display.... but run at 60hz because I just can't see a difference between the two with my 50 year old eyes.

Have no complaints about the 4090 and framerate. It does what I need it to do without breaking a sweat. Still... I'll grab a 5090 at MSRP if I can because the sale of the 4090 will offset most of that cost and set me up for the next few years.

Agreed. I plan on doing the same, but that is a big IF at MSRP. I guess it depends on how bad the scalpers are.

No doubt the supply will be constrained because they only started producing the chips for the 5090 and 5080 a couple of weeks ago after spending all of October, November, and December cranking out B100 and B200 chips. I know this because Nvidia said so in their Investor Guidance reports last year.

They also aren't going to spend more than a couple of months before they shut down the consumer chip production and go back to the B100 and B200 because demand is still so high. If TSMC could get their act together and get the new US operations up and running that would take some of the pressure off of Taiwan and Nvidia could get more production time.

Right? Yet again Ngreedia is over charging and it sounds like they are also under delivering as well until reviews/benchmarks 'say' otherwise. Something I find unlikely unfortunately. I really wish Nvidia wasn't leaning on AI/frame gen to get these 'big gains'. I worry about this trend in GPUs. I honestly could do without the extra latency and rather have 'real frames'. Time will tell if this is the right move for consumers...

Nvidia isn't overcharging the board venders are the ones overcharging. Say the chip in the 5090 costs $500 then that is all Nvidia will get no matter if the vendor/retailer sells it for $2000 or $3000 all Nvidia's cut is $500.

It amazes me how so many people don't have a clue as to how business works ..... or how currency conversion works. For instance $2000 USD = $2,896.00 CAD so if a 5090 is listed in Canada at $2,896.00 then it is indeed the quoted MSRP.

RTX 5090 should be $1000 ... once upon a time DUAL GPU TITAN was for $1000 few years ago.

When I was a kid you could get a can of soda from a vending machine for 25 cents. Time moves on, join the rest of is in modern times. The last dual GPU card capable of gaming was the Titan Z and it MSRP'd at $3000 when it launched a decade ago. That's about $4000 today. No $1000 dual Titan was ever released.

not a true comparison. we can get 16 cores CPU today for the same price of 4 cores CPU years ago. newer technology in Electronics gets FASTER and CHEAPER at the same time.

What does that have to do with what I said? Where is the $1000 dual gpu Titan you were telling us about?
