The GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080, NVIDIA’s next rumored flagship gaming GPUs, will be launching before the end of this year, during the fourth quarter, according to board card manufacturers. NVIDIA released its current flagship gaming GPU, the GeForce RTX 4090, on October 12, 2022, for $1,599.
The word from money.udn.com:
- “Huida’s latest RTX 50 series graphics cards will be unveiled in the fourth quarter.”
- “Initially, they will focus on top-end and high-end 5090 and 5080 product lines.”
- “The legal person is optimistic that the launch of Huida’s biennial GPU refresh will help board card manufacturers ship shipments this year and will drive up the average unit price (ASP) of graphics card products.”
Some popular insiders are echoing this theory:
At the end of the year.

- Blackwell architecture
- GDDR7 memory
- 512-bit memory bus for top models
- Up to 192 Streaming Multiprocessors (24, 576 cores)

…the top-level graphics card RTX 4090…was sold out in November last year because the U.S. government did not want the card to be used in the AI ​​field. The export ban caused the price of 4090 graphics cards to skyrocket. In some Asian countries, prices soared by 60%. It was not until February this year that prices began to drop steadily.

Join Discussion →That's surprising actually. Before 4th quarter. Interesting.
Every generation, the news I'm waiting for never comes: price reductions. Getting each card segment back into an appropriate price range. Where midrange cards actually have midrange prices, and flagship cards return to their old flagship prices (which were already bad enough). But of course this will never happen. One day midrange cards are gonna be $1500.
Nope
That's why I'm tapping out with the 4090. Prices are just getting ridiculous for the amount of gaming I do anymore.
They can launch in Q4 but that doesn't mean most of us will be able to find one at MSRP until 2025. The 5090 is likely going to be my last one.
I planned out my rig GPU rotation strategy years ago and it'll likely be the last piece. The 4080 Super is in the cave and doing well and that rig could eventually end up connected to a different type of lower-resolution non-4K display down the road to help prolong its usefulness. I think, given the current popularity of 2560x1600 16:10 displays with laptops, that we might see some similar monitor options down the road and I'd really like a 21:10 or 32:10 along those lines.
My current 4090 will replace the 3090 Ti Hybrid which will become a sort of historical piece as one of EVGAs final cards and its 2nd most powerful one as well. That rig could also end up with a non 4K display for the desktop but is also connected to a 65" LG C3 so those two ought to be an awesome pairing for a long while.
Meanwhile, a 5090 could eventually end up in a final build with a new AM5/760-790, or similar build but that comes down to prices and tech continuing to mature. It'll stay connected to the 42" C2 since I'm totally happy with it and the goal is to minimize/eliminate DLSS while using DLAA more. Plus I'm pretty sure that at that point the 5800X3D could become a more significant bottleneck point for a 5090.
