Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Prices Reach $2,000 Amid Scarce Stock
Tom’s Hardware reports that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080’s lowest cited in-stock price at a reputable online seller reached $1,999 through Best Buy, while other listings reached $2,299.99 and $2,983.23. Availability was limited, with most online stock offered by third-party sellers and local pickup at Best Buy restricted to one or two units. The article also links AI-driven prioritization of high-margin data-center products to reduced attention and memory allocation for consumer GPUs.
The RTX 5080’s price floor has reached the RTX 5090’s on-paper launch price, highlighting how scarce consumer GPU supply is affecting upgrade costs.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, Nvidia's second-fastest GPU from its current generation, now costs as much as the RTX 5090 did, on paper, when it launched. Prices have reached $2,000 and higher, with most of the available stock online limited to third-party sellers. If you can find it in stock, it may end up costing you two to three times as much as it did when it launched.
The cheapest, in-stock RTX 5080 available to buy from a reputable seller online for delivery is this PNY RTX 5080 for $1,999 from Best Buy, the same price as the RTX 5090's on-paper MSRP. You might otherwise end up paying $2,299.99, at least, for this Asus ROG Astral mode at Newegg, or you could pay nearly $3000 for this Gigabyte RTX 5080 from MemoryC, now priced at $2,983.23.
Stock for the RTX 5080 is otherwise limited everywhere, with just one or two available for local pickup (in Best Buy's case), and limited options for delivery. You can also find similar in-store-only pricing at Micro Center, depending on location, which has a Gigabyte card for $1,979.99.
