The first salvo of RTX 50 series GPU will arrive in January, with pricing starting at $549 for the RTX 5070 and topping out at an eye-watering $1,999 for the flagship RTX 5090. In between those are the $749 RTX 5070 Ti and $999 RTX 5080. Laptop variants of the desktop GPUs will follow in March, with pricing there starting at $1,299 for 5070-equipped PCs.

Why do people buy this stuff? It only takes like a year before it falls in price as the next one comes along. Gotta get that last 2FPS, I guess.

Ok, I guess when I build my next computer I'll be using the 4th best card.

it seems people realized this and the old cards aren't even properly falling in price anymore, even on the used market

Yeah I'm never willing to afford the best. I usually build a new computer with second best parts. With these prices my next computer will be with third best stuff I guess.
