The market will dictate the final price
Yeah that’s the scary part. The market decided the 4090 should cost a whole lot more than $1600.

In the US, yes.
Denmark has been consistant since launch.
We have a rule of thumb here in Denmark.
If the MSRP is $1000 the price in Denmark will be 10.000 DKK (even though $1000 is like 7.200 DKK) due to VAT + import tax.
The MSRP of the 4090 is $1599, meaning ~16.000 DKK (which is what I got mine for).
If the MSRP is $2000 I will have to pay ~20.000 DKK.(~$2792) due to added VAT + import tax.
But I am sure it will be under $2000 MSRP for the 5090.
Most of the PC gaming market buys prebuilts and these pretty much exclusively offer Nvidia. I can see why someone not interested in DIY won't even consider looking for the unicorn Radeon build.
There are also plenty of rational reasons one would rather just buy Nvidia. AMD cards these days aren't even much cheaper than their Nvidia counterpart.
The people who don't like 40/50 series pricing aren't even considering a $1600 graphics card. Most of these guys are midrange buyers who are being priced out.I agree, but no matter the price it will not stop people never wanting to buy a 5090 to post online and "cry" over the price
They can go Intel, those cards are cheap.
I can count all of Intel's cards on one hand and all of those I would say are solidly 'budget' tier, not midrange. We will see if BMG is fleshed out but also nothing Intel is doing is sustainable, they are selling dies the size of Nvidia's 70 tier cards with 60 tier performance for sub-60 tier costs.

There's a rumor from More Law Is Dead, saying that Nvidia intends to position any card above the 5070 Ti, as for "professionals".
MLID gets it wrong a lot, so read this with caution.
Yea I dont take anything he says seriously.There's a rumor from More Law Is Dead, saying that Nvidia intends to position any card above the 5070 Ti, as for "professionals".

Ugh, he literally makes up his posts. Don’t ever believe a word.

Vex received price information from a store in Australia. Converting to US dollars, the RTX 5080 will cost at least $1400!!!!
I think it's the first 512bit bus for NV since GT200. Don't recall any Fermi stuff going past 384bit.
The Titan V did

NVIDIA GV100, 1455 MHz, 5120 Cores, 320 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 12288 MB HBM2, 848 MHz, 3072 bit
3072 bit HBM2 though.
Interesting... I did see that video as well and now it has been taken offline / made private. A part of me Wonders if it was too spot on for streamer with that amount of followers.Vex received price information from a store in Australia.

He re-edited the video and uploaded it again, to protect his source a little more. But I think it's already spread across the web.
Still says private? Are you talking about the Vex video or something else?

What a mess. He had set the old one to private and uploaded a new video, claiming that the original did not properly protect his source.
Now he has set the new one to private and released the old one again.
We talking about Vex? When the video goes private there's no way to even see who uploaded it.
Normalized to USD, are these things typically more expensive in Australia? IDK what prices are like outside the US.
Usually yes. We have a 10% sales tax that must be included in price, but even then there's typically a premium over that. 4090 when it released was over 2000 USD here
Those prices? Yikes.... There will be a breaking point. I for one wonder how long it will take for Nvidia to sour their relationship with gamers as they have done in the past with other businesses. As someone who was initially planning on buying a 5090 to upgrade from my 4080, it may be time to retire from purchasing pc parts in general until a more reasonably priced alternative to my 4080 surfaces.Vex received price information from a store in Australia.
