Over the past few years, Nvidia has been striving hard to meet the demand for GPUs among its gaming customers, business partners, and AI clients. However, recent reports suggest that even with their best efforts, the upcoming RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs (scheduled for release on January 30, 2025) may face similar supply issues.
With the introduction of the RTX 4000 series GPUs, specifically the RTX 4090, it has consistently been priced higher than its Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) across most AIB (Add-in Board) versions. The scarcity of the Founder’s Edition model persists even a year after its release. This high demand is largely due to the RTX 4090’s exceptional performance in AI workloads, making it an intriguing competitive option compared to restricted AI chips like Nvidia’s H100 and A100 GPUs.
Nvidia has addressed the initial worries raised by users on various forums who work at third-party retailers. One of the Nvidia staff members, Tim, commented about this on their official forums.
Anticipating a high demand for both the GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080, there’s a possibility that these graphics cards might become temporarily unavailable. NVIDIA and their associates are consistently increasing shipments to retailers daily, with the aim of ensuring these GPUs reach avid gamers promptly.
Nvidia’s RTX 5090: The Most Elusive Flagship GPU Yet?
At launch, it appears that supply of the premium RTX 5080 graphics cards will be restricted, yet interest among consumers, similar to the previous generation, is anticipated to center around the top-tier GPU, the RTX 5090. When unveiled, Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is expected to rule as the fastest consumer-grade GPU for both gaming and productivity tasks, thanks to its innovative Blackwell architecture, Nvidia’s DLSS4 advancements such as Multi Frame Generation, and quicker, higher bandwidth GDDR7 memory.
Despite some retailers like Newegg having pre-placed holders for AIB partners’ SKUs of the upcoming GPU, the actual pricing information remains unclear. Alleged leaks suggest that third-party RTX 5090 SKUs might cost between $2200 and $2800, while the premium ASUS RTX 5090 Astral OC liquid-cooled SKU is speculated to be even more expensive. To give you an idea, the RTX 5090 Founders Edition is projected to cost $2000. However, history indicates that it may have limited availability compared to third-party alternatives.
Similarly, if the listed prices for the RTX 5080, initially priced at $1000 by its Founder’s Edition, are accurate according to PCPartPicker.com, we can expect a wider price range when shopping for different SKUs, with retail prices estimated to be between $1140 and $1900, demonstrating a significant variation in relation to its base cost.
A significant portion of the market for the RTX 5090 and 5080 is anticipated to originate from heavy users and those focused on productivity, with avid gamers being among the earliest purchasers. Additionally, AI researchers may show interest due to the 32GB VRAM available in the RTX 5090, making it ideal for memory-heavy tasks. It’s predicted that Nvidia’s quickest consumer-grade GPU yet will be subject to export restrictions, at least in substantial quantities, for the near future.
