Nvidia plans to unveil RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs at CES 2025 with potential price hikes

Nvidia is expected to unveil its RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards at CES 2025, with rumors suggesting a launch shortly after the reveal. Initial shipment discussions are reportedly underway with retailers. Pricing for the RTX 5090 may start around $2,000, reflecting a 25% increase from the RTX 4090. The RTX 5080 could also be positioned as a "professional" GPU, potentially leading to higher prices. These developments indicate a shift in Nvidia's marketing strategy, suggesting that the top models may be aimed more at professionals than gamers. This could affect how retailers present these products to consumers.
