Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Graphics Card Is Now 2-3 Times More Expensive
The price of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card has increased 2-3 times compared with when it went on sale. Prices now reach $2,000 (approximately 3,400 manats), while some models are sold for even more. However, the RTX 5080 had a starting price of $999 (approximately 1,700 manats). The second-fastest graphics card in Nvidia’s current generation is now selling at the price at which the RTX 5090 launched.
The cheapest option available for delivery from a reputable retailer is the PNY RTX 5080 at Best Buy. The model costs $1,999 (approximately 3,400 manats). At Newegg, the Asus ROG Astral is sold for at least $2,299.99 (approximately 3,910 manats). The Gigabyte RTX 5080 at MemoryC costs $2,983.23 (approximately 5,070 manats). At Micro Center, a Gigabyte model available only for in-store pickup is sold for $1,979.99 (approximately 3,370 manats).
Online stores have very little stock, with only 1-2 graphics cards remaining in some places. Most listings are from third-party sellers rather than the stores themselves. For example, at least $2,211.17 (approximately 3,760 manats) is being asked for the PNY RTX 5080 on Amazon. That seller received 202 reviews over the past 12 months and had an 81% positive feedback rating.
The PNY RTX 5080 sold for an average of $1,500 (approximately 2,550 manats) in August. Now, even the lowest price is approaching the RTX 5090’s initial launch price of $1,999. The RTX 5090 rose to as much as $9,500 (approximately 16,150 manats) last month. Some models that remain in limited quantities are now sold for $12,000 (approximately 20,400 manats).
The RTX 5080 has an Nvidia GB203 graphics chip and 10,752 CUDA cores that perform graphics computations. The model is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory. One of the main reasons for the price increase is growing demand for powerful chips for artificial intelligence systems. Nvidia is focusing more on products for companies. Memory manufacturers are also dedicating their production lines to the more profitable HBM memory used in artificial intelligence data centers.
