Revealed specifications of the RTX 5090, price could start at $1,900

The GeForce RTX 5090 is arguably one of Nvidia’s most well-guarded secrets, even as its official pricing and actual performance metrics remain unclear. It's widely anticipated that this new GPU will be unveiled at CES 2025, with rumors suggesting a possible launch date of January 20th. According to Bits And Chips, Nvidia's upcoming gaming flagship may carry a price tag of $1900.

If this pricing turns out to be accurate, Nvidia’s MSRP for the RTX 5090 will be $300 more than their RTX 4090. However, it’s been a considerable time since Nvidia’s RTX 4090 has been sold at its MSRP. Recently, this GPU’s prices have surged, possibly due to dwindling stock in anticipation of Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPU releases. Still, a $300 price hike is notable.

Recent speculation indicates that Nvidia’s RTX 5090 may boast an enormous 32GB frame buffer. Additionally, another leak regarding the specifications of the RTX 5090 hints at 21,760 CUDA cores, 32GB of GDDR7 memory, and a 600W TDP.

In the coming year, Nvidia will likely face no rivalry in the ultra-high-end GPU segment. Both AMD and Intel are expected to concentrate on the mid-range market. This situation allows Nvidia to set the pricing for their new flagship without external pressure. After all, their only competitors are their earlier-generation products, which are increasingly scarce. It's also worth noting that Nvidia has raised the prices of their flagship models with every new generation for nearly ten years.

Will Nvidia’s RTX 5090 actually be priced at $1900? Most likely. Nvidia lacks any incentive to reduce GPU prices if the performance justifies it. There’s no competition to push this GPU's price down, and prices for RTX 4090 frequently already exceed these figures.
