The leak, shared by wxnod, lists the RTX 5090 at 18,999 Yuan ($2,600) and the RTX 5080 at 9,999 Yuan ($1,350), with a likely Q1 2025 release in China following a January 6th debut. Key points: Leaked Pricing (China): RTX 5090: $2,600; RTX 5080: $1,350. VAT Adjustment: Factoring in China's 13% VAT, the prices could translate to roughly $2,200 for the 5090 and $1,200 for the 5080 in other markets. Price Hikes Compared to Previous Gen: Compared to the launch prices of the RTX 40 series in China, this represents a 5% increase for the 5080 and a substantial 46% increase for the 5090. Possible Custom Variants: The leaked prices might be for custom cards from AIB partners, which are typically more expensive. RTX 5090D for China: Due to US sanctions, China might receive an "RTX 5090D" variant, similar to the RTX 4090D, but potentially with similar pricing to the global 5090. Pre-built Pricing: Earlier leaks of Acer pre-built systems with RTX 50 series GPUs also pointed to a ~29% price increase compared to similar RTX 40 series systems. Expected Specs: The RTX 5090 is rumored to use the GB202 GPU with 21,760 CUDA cores, 32GB of GDDR7 memory at 28 Gbps (1,792 GB/s bandwidth), and is expected to launch alongside the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070. The overall takeaway is that the RTX 50 series, particularly the RTX 5090, could be significantly more expensive than its predecessors. However, these are still leaks, and final pricing could change.
