Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090: Rumored January Release Date and Price
Anticipation is mounting for a rumored January release of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. The next-gen GPU is expected to supersede Nvidia’s current RTX 4090 as the best graphics card for gaming and indeed the best graphics card full stop.
Performance and Price
The one thing we’re all wondering about is naturally the cost. The latest rumor is that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 price may be lower than we initially expected, although it will still be eye-wateringly expensive.
Rumored Specs and Price
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is rumored to have 680 tensor cores, 32 GB of GDDR7 memory (up from 24GB in the 4090) and a base frequency of 2,235 MHz. The new Blackwell architecture means the GPU is set to be driven by AI, with DLSS and Frame Generation expected to play a bigger part.
According to Bits And Chips, the price will be around €1,800 ($1,890) for the base configuration of the GPU, according to “several Chinese and Japanese journalists.” This is lower than the previously rumored base price of $2,000 or even $2,500.
Impact on the Current Top-of-the-Range GPU
If the 5090 does launch at a price that’s more similar to that of the 4090, there’s more of a chance that we’ll see bigger discounts come up on the current top-of-the-range GPU, which has proved to be stubbornly resistant to deals so far.
Conclusion
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is rumored to be an impressive graphics card, but its price is still unknown. If the latest rumor is true, the base price will be around $1,890, making it still an expensive but potentially more accessible option compared to previous rumors. Whether or not it will change your mind about whether you can afford it remains to be seen.
