The first salvo of RTX 50 series GPU will arrive in January, with pricing starting at $549 for the RTX 5070 and topping out at an eye-watering $1,999 for the flagship RTX 5090. In between those are the $749 RTX 5070 Ti and $999 RTX 5080. Laptop variants of the desktop GPUs will follow in March, with pricing there starting at $1,299 for 5070-equipped PCs.

Welp, looks like I'll start looking at AMD and Intel instead. Nvidia is pricing itself at a premium that's impossible to actually meet compared to competitors.

There will be people that buy it. Professionals that can actually use the hardware and can justify it via things like business tax benefits, and those with enough money to waste that it doesn't matter.

For everyone else, competitors are going to be much better options. Especially with Intel's very fast progression into the dedicated card game with Arc and generational improvements.
