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.

From google:

The RTX 4090 was released as the first model of the series on October 12, 2022, launched for $1,599 US, and the 16GB RTX 4080 was released on November 16, 2022 for $1,199 US.

So they dropped the 80 series in price by $200 while increasing the 5090 by $400.

Pretty smart honestly. Those who have to have the best are willing to spend more and I’m happy the 80 series is more affordable.

I’m happy the 80 series is more affordable

I'd hardly call $1200 affordable.

It’s $999 now which is more affordable than $1200

5080 is same price as the 4080 super, probably because the 4080 wasn’t selling.
