TECH NEWS – The European price of a manufacturer’s RTX 5080 has been leaked, and it’s going to be just as staggering as we expected…

We’re just days away from Nvidia unveiling its next-generation Blackwell architecture graphics cards at CES. But now we’re looking at the price of an AIB model, and because it looks Spanish, it’s 20% VAT. The GeForce RTX 5080 from Asus is probably a bit more expensive than the reference/Founders Edition cards, so it’ll be a bit cheaper. 1700 Euros, which could be between 1300-1400 dollars in the USA.

So it’s more expensive than the RTX 4080, even though it wasn’t very competitive with the Ada Lovelace architecture (to be honest, its pricing was probably the worst). The RTX 5080 has 10752 CUDA cores, 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, and 360W (!) and will be the fastest GDDR7 memory (30 Gbps, 28 Gbps on the other cards). The power consumption has increased, as well as new information on the RTX 5090: it will now have the power to power an entire computer, as it is now rumored to be 575W! Of course, all these cards will have DLSS 4 support, so it’s not just AMD that’s “stepping it up” (RDNA 4 GPUs will have AMD FSR 4).

And RTX 5080 360W.

By the way, Nvidia will not only give away its first GPU (GeForce 256), but also its second CUDA GPU, the first being the GeForce 8800 GTX (released in November 2006), and the “greens” will give away the GeForce 8800 Ultra (released in May 2007), signed by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The GeForce 8 series was the first with unified shaders and CUDA cores, and we saw some incredible performance improvements over previous cards, while offering several products at great prices. The record is held by the 8800 GT, released in the fall of 2007, which even kept up with the GTX/Ultra pair…

4 days to CES.
