The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU has been discontinued, leading to a significant price increase as retailers prepare for the launch of the next-generation RTX 5090. Prices for the RTX 4090 have nearly doubled, with limited availability and some models reaching over $3500. This trend is observed across major retailers like Newegg, Amazon, and B&H Photo, as well as in EU and UK markets, as the focus shifts to the upcoming RTX 5090.
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 and the China-exclusive RTX 5090D are rumored to have identical GPU configurations and clock speeds, despite the latter being designed to comply with US export regulations. Unlike the RTX 4090D, which had reduced specs, the RTX 5090D is expected to maintain the same core setup as the global variant. Both models are anticipated to feature 21760 cores and 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, with a launch expected in January 2025.
NVIDIA is expected to unveil its GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards at CES 2025, with a launch anticipated shortly after. The RTX 5090 may be priced around $1999, featuring 32GB of GDDR7 memory and over 20,000 CUDA cores, making it ideal for 4K 240FPS+ gaming. These cards are positioned for professional use, with significant upgrades in performance, power efficiency, and ray tracing capabilities compared to the RTX 4090.
