NVIDIA's AIB Partners Allegedly Tip When To Expect The GeForce RTX 5090 Launch
These will likely include the GeForce RTX 5090 and the GeForce RTX 5080 initially. It is par for course for NVIDIA to lead with its most notable products, such as when it launched the GeForce RTX 4090. The mid-range and entry level GPUs, such as the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, came only after the halo products were introduced.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super is currently its latest product, alongside the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 Super. While these GPUs were positively received, they did come late in the GeForce RTX 40 series life cycle, thus more quickly losing steam to the new upcoming generation.

According to UDN, which apparently got word from NVIDIA's board partners about its next-gen release timing, "Driving up the average unit price" of NVIDIA GPUs seems to be something board partners are looking forward to. With the hype and increased demand that comes with a new product launch, it is inevitable that such increases often occur. NVIDIA's Super refresh saw a price cut in the way of the GeForce RTX 4080 Super down to $999.That may be due to the more tepid consumer North American market. The GeForce RTX 4090 saw no such discounts, and was itself widely unavailable for a long time as its performance prowess garnered the attention of both gamers and AI data centers.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is rumored to have tremendous performance increases over its already impressive RTX 4090 predecessor. This class-leading performance will surely lead to an expensive, and highly in demand GPU when it finally rears its head at the end of 2024.
