Those users are waiting for Nvidia's more mid-range GPU offerings, namely the RTX 5070 and the RTX 5070 Ti even as the RTX 5080 (which launched earlier) runs for a cool $1000 with

AMD’s RX 9070 XT could outgun Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti easily, and come within 10% of the RTX 5080 GPU, if fresh rumors prove correct.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 combines a small generational uplift with AI-powered multi-frame generation to bring along the next generation of graphics cards.

It’s disappointing to see Nvidia has stuck with 16GB of VRAM on the RTX 5080. AMD’s RX 7900 XTX offers 24GB, and while the RTX 5080 delivers better performance for now, it may well hit video memory limits in 4K gaming in the future.

The more expensive of the two, the RTX 5070 Ti at $749, is set to launch on February 20, according to VideoCardz. The outlet claims reviews will go live on February 19 for models set at list price, while cards priced above list will see reviews on Februrary 20. Nvidia has yet to confirm these dates publically, so treat this as a rumor for now.

The RTX 5080 Founders Edition uses the same lovely shroud as the top RTX Blackwell card, and brings the same DLSS/MFG feature set to the table. But that's all that is really setting the second-tier card apart from the RTX 4080 Super as the gen-on-gen performance difference is marginal at best.

But then, neither is it a blood-boiler like the RTX 4080, nor a largely aspirational show-off piece like the RTX 5090. By maintaining the 4080 Super’s course correction on price while tooling up on compelling DLSS 4 improvements,

The GeForce RTX 5080 offers negligible improvement over the 4080 Super's performance -- but also a truly game-changing feature in DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation.

The best argument for grabbing a 5080 right now, if you can find one at $999 in the first place, is that the only cards that come close to its performance are either way more expensive than they're supposed to be (the 4080 Super) or not cheap enough to justify the Nvidia-specific features you give up (AMD's Radeon 7900 XTX).

If you're searching where to find the newly-released Nvidia RTX 5090, you're in luck, as scalpers are happy to sell you one. Maybe lucky isn't the right word because they're also looking for upwards of $7,000 for the GPU, which starts at $1,999 at its regular, non-scalped price.
