Oy. So, Nvidia discontinued the RTX 5090 GPU, its flagship consumer gaming GPU, in order to use the silicon in its AI-focused RTX Pro GPUs. That leaves the RTX 5080 (16GB DDR7), which started out at $999 retail (which is what I paid for mine one year ago) but now goes for over $1,600, sitting at the top of the lineup—but not for long... Nvidia plans to release a new version of the RTX 5080—with 24GB DDR7—to sit at the top. But, this will surely start at $2,000+ retail, and then get snatched up entirely by AI companies. Nvidia really has gone whole-hog into AI and its concern for playing in the consumer gaming market is clearly much diminished.
