The latest NVIDIA RTX 50 series rumor prices are most likely fake

MLID has shared a slide earlier today with some rumored prices about the NVIDIA RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 GPUs. However, according to industry insider kopite7kimi, these prices are totally fake.

MLID has shared in the past fake and misleading information. When NVIDIA introduced DLSS 2, MLID stated that the green team was working on DLSS 3 which would be a driver-based feature. Well, we got DLSS 3 but it was nothing like what MLID was claiming.

Now I’m not saying MLID does not have insider sources. They do. However, they’ve also shared misleading information about numerous things. And, from the looks of it, this appears to be one of them.

To put it simply, kopite7kimi is a more reliable source than MLID. So, I trust them more than MLID. It may sound harsh, but it is what it is.

kopite7kimi does not expect a significant price increase for the RTX 5090 (compared to the RTX 4090). To be honest, though, I kind of expect the RTX 5090 to have a $1999 MSRP. That’s the vibe I get from this whole situation. I could be wrong (and let’s hope that I am). However, the most likely scenario is a $1999 MSRP and a $2499 “real” price at the stores. We all know that no one will respect the MSRP price.

Rumors suggest that NVIDIA will reveal its RTX 50 series GPUs at CES 2025. Do not expect the GPUs to come out at CES 2025 though. NVIDIA will most likely reveal them at that event, not launch them. Since CES 2025 is in early January, we can assume that the RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 will come out in late January or in February.

Last month, kopite7kimi shared some specs for the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080. According to those specs, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 will have a 2-slot cooler, and it will based on the PG144/145-SKU30. It will also have 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores and 170 SMs. For comparison purposes, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 has 24GB of GDDR6X and a 384-bit bandwidth bus. It also comes with 16,384 FP2 CUDA cores and 128 SMs.

Stay tuned for more!

  1. "Rumors suggest that NVIDIA will reveal its RTX 50 series GPUs at CES 2025."

    what about the rumors who said they gonna come out on november?

    RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS.

    1. Nvidia announced 15 months ago they weren't releasing the 5000 series until early 2025 and that never changed. The reason for that is they need to make the commercial Blackwell devices first which are currently in production and is the real reason why 4000 series production has ended. After they fulfill the lion's share of the commercial Blackwell orders they'll start ramping up production of the consumer Blackwell lines.

      All you have to do is read the Nvidia Investor guidance reports to figure out what is going on and not the Leakers who are in it for the clicks and their 15 minutes of fame

  2. Not sure how to feel about the prices. Im of the mind that if the next generation brings a significant amount of performance increase then a lot of the "backend" shouldnt matter but it is hard to see the specs and believe this wont be the case without gameplay. I havent gotten any of the most recent generation nvidia or amd cards because what I use in my home between the 6000 and 30 series have been fairly capable but I think maybe next year ill start to feel the call to upgrade again. Alan wake 2 partly made me feel like it might be time, Outlaws more recently on UW started to push it the itch for me, and now Monster Hunter reportedly is really brutal on even modern hardware. Hopefully a real 50 series or amd solution comes at a better value than what is being rumored here.

    1. If i were looking for a mid tier gaming this time around the nvidia offering would bring a sour taste in my moth for sure, they are way to gimped compared to the higher tiers vs the 30 and below era. The scalping prices from Nvidia + Amd is seriously starting to choke PC gaming

  3. With the 5090 coming in with 32GB VRAM on 512-bit bus I honestly wouldn’t be surprised at a $2000-$2500 price. Especially since AMD won’t even be competing in that segment and there are enough people who will pay that price if the performance is there. The big performance gap between the 5080 and 5090 actually would back this up.

    1. AMD has never competed in that segment, they tried a couple of times but never got there. Cripes only a couple of times were they able to compete with the 80 series

      1. At least they tried and were close with the 6900XTX or whatever. Saying you’re just going to completely avoid trying to compete there means Nvidia will be able to charge whatever they can get away with as there will be no options even remotely close from competitors.

  4. Yeah, the prices are to low, poor Jensen and his investors needs to add a bunch of more billions on the pile so he will "only" charge 2 kidneys for the top end card this time!

  5. Honestly, I just really want to know the price and release date of the new cards. I'm looking to build a new streaming PC and willing to go for a solid beefy card this time around. Normally I get the xx80 series, but the xx90 series seems to be the best card now (RIP Titan cards), especially when streaming VR.

    I'm just wanting to know how much I'll have to spend and am tired of waiting to upgrade. It sucks it's not as good as the prices we used to have though. I loved my 1080 ti

  6. It will be more expensive than RTX 4000 series, that's for sure. Especially since AMD decided not to compete with high end starting from this upcoming generation of graphics cards. So Nvidia can charge whatever they want for high end.

    1. Ya but will the market accept it? I know everyone in my country will refuse to spend more than 1000 for a 80 tier class. It wont work. 4080 didnt sell even at 999, it barely did. At 1300, they sold 3 cards for 2 years. Competition or not, there are limits to how much money people have/own/willing to spend.

  7. MLID has a solid track record for being unreliable. It's about time other users need to stop taking him seriously.

    Generally, don't trust any leaker at all if its just bunch of written text, no actual pics or no vids of the products, especially if the products are still months away from the roadmap because during this time engineers can easily change or scrap them anytime and make those leaks obsolete.

    ''Moore's Law is dead'' once also confirmed a 10-core 7800x with dual 5-core chiplet processor was in the pipeline. But, that never panned out.

    He also deletes videos when his predictions are laughably wrong.

    He can get anything wrong because if people are stupid to believe everything he says in the first place, he can just make another lie up explaining why he was wrong, and they'll eat it up.

    Take what he and everyone like him says, with a truck load of salt. The problem is people like him create unfounded hype and spread questionable information.

    Even Intel had to once come out and address his Arc 780 leaks indirectly, – that it never was planned and some people on the internet just took it too far.

    He also onced claimed RDNA 3 performance would be 60-80% over RDNA 2 , but we know what happened here. Also, the same Arc 780 existence rumor was also later clarifiied and corected by an Intel employee, because this SKU never existed in the first place.

    He also got *all* Raptor Lake CPU pricing ranges wrong just before the release (all CPUs from the lineup could be bought outside his predicted ranges).

    Released a damage control video later on claiming that he was misunderstood. lol.
    .

    1. Rumour/gossip/hype youtubers are the worst, bottom of the barrel on that site. Still a step above reaction youtubers though.

  8. Who even cares about these overpriced GPU.

    Unless you're a billionaire from Dubai, I can't imaging spending $2,000 on a GPU. I can't even imagine spending $600 on a GPU. To play maybe 1 decent AAA that comes out every year for a few hours? What a waste of money.

    The most enjoyable games are indie titles thast run on potato PC.

      1. Only a moron would try to justify $2000 GPU, that use more power than a microwave oven and are so heavy they need support brackets. Congrats moron.

  9. Moores law is dead Youtube Channel also released a similar leak on his Youtube Channel the guys has been pretty much spot on with his Intel and AMD leaks and his pricing for the RTX 40 and RTX 40 Super were correct too so I would not call this fake just yet.

  10. $2000-2500 for 5090. So what's the big surprise? AIB's will surely sell it at $2500. Look at how many dotards bought a 4080 right from day 1. A card proven to be a scam. The 5080 will absolutely sell at $1500.

  11. The 5080 needs to come out for less than 1k come on man, nvidia cant keep destroying us eternally, this is fkd up.
