Nvidia RTX 5080 hits $1,999, matching RTX 5090 launch pricing
Top News · Reported · tomshardware.com
The RTX 5080's reported online price floor has reached $1,999. The card launched at $999, and its current online floor matches the RTX 5090's launch MSRP.
Here's what current listings look like:
- Best Buy had a PNY RTX 5080 for $1,999, the cheapest in-stock card found at a reputable online seller.
- Micro Center listed a Gigabyte card at $1,979.99 for in-store pickup, depending on location.
- Newegg had an Asus card for at least $2,299.99.
- The RTX 5080 pairs Nvidia's GB203 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM.
One catch: Stock is limited, and much of the online supply comes from third-party sellers.
Why care? If you're buying an RTX 5080, check in-stock prices rather than budgeting from its $999 launch MSRP.
