The RTX 5090 could be launched for the equivalent of US$2,600, while the RTX 5080 could make its debut costing US$1,370. These are the values ​​circulating on the internet after a video from a major channel in China tried to guess the prices of NVIDIA’s new Blackwell series video cards.
The subject began to proliferate after a post tagging famous leaker momomo_us featured a screenshot, without context, revealing possible prices for the cards. The RTX 5090 appears costing 18,999 yuan, and the RTX 5080 for 9,999 yuan. Converting, we have the values ​​mentioned above.
As specialized media such as VideoCardz began to notice the matter, we received information that the capture came from this video, where it is clear that the values ​​are speculation, not based on leaks or privileged information.
WCCFTech, however, considers the values ​​to be coherent. He estimates that a range between $2,500 and $3,000 makes sense for the RTX 5090, while the RTX 5080 should be between $1,000 and $1,500.
Assuming the US$2,600 for the RTX 5090 to be correct, the card would cost R$16,110 in direct conversion. In other words, not to mention the taxes that will make the plate much more expensive here.
Speculation for RTX 5090 and 5080 already includes new rates?
It is curious that WCCFTech mentions that the price of US$ 2,600 is consistent for the RTX 5090 when the same site estimated the price of US$ 1,800 for the card this same week.
The site’s statement makes sense, however, if this speculation already includes the new tariffs on foreign products that President-elect Donald Trump has promised to adopt when he takes office. Plates manufactured in China can be taxed up to 60% to reach the USA.

Passing the 40% increase to the final value of the product, the estimate of US$ 1,800 jumps to US$ 2,500, a value much closer to the current speculation.
It’s scary to imagine the RTX 5090 costing US$2,600 before these tariffs. A 40% increase would take the final price to US$3,640, which is equivalent to more than R$22,500.
