Zotac accidentally lists RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 family weeks before launch — accidental listing seemingly confirms the RTX 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM (www.tomshardware.com)

Sales and probably pricing itself. With a gap this large, the price of the 5090 might be more than twice as high as that of the 5080 and people would still buy it.

If the value proposition continues, and based on the leak it seems like it will, the 5090 would be a better value FPS per dollar than the 5080 and anything below it. The 4090 cost like 40% more than the 4080, but gave 60% better performance. The 5090 looks like it will be well over twice the performance of the 5080, so I'd expect twice the price.
