RTX 5090 Price Leak: What to Expect from NVIDIA's $2,000 Graphics Card

The rumored price tag of around $2,000 for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 has indeed been making the rounds, especially with leakers like @I_Leak_VN on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting that this could be NVIDIA’s next flagship GPU's launch price. With a potential release date around January 20, 2025, the RTX 5090 is expected to bring significant performance improvements over its predecessor, the RTX 4090.

At this price point, NVIDIA is clearly aiming the RTX 5090 at the high-end market segment, likely targeting enthusiasts and content creators who need the cutting-edge performance for gaming at ultra-high resolutions, 3D rendering, AI work, and more. This also suggests that the performance uplift, possibly due to architectural improvements and increased VRAM, could make it a powerful but premium investment for PC builders.

As with any leak, take this information with a grain of salt, as NVIDIA has yet to officially confirm the specs, price, or release date. However, if this rumored price and release window hold true, we could be looking at one of the most powerful and most expensive consumer graphics cards to date.

If the $2,000 estimate holds true, the RTX 5090 would be positioned as a high-end option, likely aimed at enthusiasts and professional users looking for top-of-the-line performance. NVIDIA's rumored release date of January 20, 2025, could mean that the card will arrive just after the holiday season, potentially capitalizing on any pent-up demand from gamers and content creators who are eager to upgrade.

As with most next-gen graphics cards, the RTX 5090 is expected to bring significant improvements in performance, power efficiency, and perhaps even VR and AI-accelerated applications. Speculation points toward a substantial increase in CUDA cores and higher clock speeds, alongside improved DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) capabilities, which could make 4K and even 8K gaming more accessible.

If the $2,000 price tag is accurate, it's also likely that we could see the cost of lower-tier options, like the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070, become more attractive to those who don’t need the absolute cutting-edge in performance. For those considering a high-end upgrade, it might be worth waiting a few more months to see how the RTX 5090 stacks up against current-generation options and what new features it brings to the table.

Of course, these are all just rumors until NVIDIA officially announces the card, but enthusiasts are definitely keeping a close eye on any new developments.
