The GeForce RTX 5090, a new flagship graphics card based on the "Blackwell" architecture that NVIDIA is expected to launch relatively shortly, will cost anywhere from $1,999 to $2,499 when it's released, according to the latest rumors that have surfaced out of China.

At $1700-$2000, I'm not happy but will do at some point. Anything higher and it only makes my strategy to spend $1200-$1300 to upgrade to AM5 look that much more attractive. I'll still gain frames either way but the former gives me more time to weigh other options.
 
I'm out of the video card chase after the 4090. With Nvidia's ridiculous pricing and my lack of interest in gaming getting larger it just seems right for me.
 
Looks like I'll be riding my 4070 forever then. I know I got at least 5 or 6 out of my 1080ti. Sheesh I could still be using it but I got fooled into thinking I needed RTX stuff (shocker = not really)

Same, except I'm still interested in gaming the issue is that there are barely any interesting games nowadays. 1 or 2 hit or miss titles a year is not worth spending that much.
 
Well, well, it's a maybe? I'm getting to the point of any Samsung or Apple device at this point. I used Newegg's trade in program for my 3080ti to get a 4080 Super. If the trade in value holds somewhat, I'll just go that route and pick up maybe 5080 with trade in. Probably not going to do a 5090 cause I just don't need that. But trade in certainly helps. I've been on some of these upgrade cycles and can usually get much better performance from whatever device I'm trading to their latest. S21 to S23+, Wife's Macbook air M1 to M2, etc.
 
I chose not to afford it at $1,000. Definitely not gonna afford it at $2,000.
 
2k feels too high but I can feel myself slipping into giving into the press... the kicker for me will be if it really has 32 gig or better of vram. Playing with AI stuff it REALLY performs SO MUCH better when you can run it in vram on the GPU as opposed to in ram off of your CPU. (At least with my 5900x it does. I know DDR 5 and the 9950x3d will do better.)

Yup $500 is my price limit, and no more than 4-5 years. I am not someone who buys a new GPU (or even CPU) every year or 2, who is?
 
Considering my last two daily driver GPUs were a 980ti and the current 3090ti, I think I'm good for a while. I don't have to have the latest and greatest, but I do tend to buy big when I eventually need to upgrade. 2k is a lot to ask ... I'd say too much, really. I don't play the latest and greatest games, either, and I have a huge backlog of older games that will run just fine on my current GPU. I probably have games in my backlog that won't even run in the current Windows ... unless I bought them from GoG, that is. I'm not such a graphics elitist where I can't enjoy a good game that needs to run DosBox. If it's good and fun, it's all good.
