NVIDIA RTX 50-Series Graphics Cards Announced

Jensen said on stage that the 5070 gives "4090 levels of performance for USD$549"

For some reference - the 4070 Super launched at USD$599, and here most 3rd party AIB's are retailing for AUD$999.

US pricing for the 5070Ti is USD$749, the 5080 is USD$999, and the 5090 is USD$1,999.

Who's getting one??!

        Since when US$549 = A$1109 ?

        • given current exchange rate trajectory that might be spot on by release time.

      Damn. I get that we have GST and a weak dollar right now, but really didn't think that the AU dollar prices would be more than double the figure of the US dollar one.

            @commiewealth: Ah yes, those 9 years of solid debt the last mob built up. COVID was the best thing to happen to the Liberal party because they had shot the debt right up prior to it happening, and when it happened, they threw more cash around under the guise of COVID.

        • +2

          Given Trump means huge inflationary pressure their and higher rates this is actually likely to hurt our dollar more as investors flee to the higher interest rates.

      • Well the 4090 at launch was $3.5k, and the 4080 was $2.4k so it's sort of in line with that. Will be interesting to see benchmarks and how much of the performance gains rely on DLSS4 and how that'll be inserted into games.

      • +3

        Pricing looks like a 15% markup once GST is accounted for. That weak dollar is quite painful.

      • +1

        5070: 599 USD is 956.78 AUD. Add 10% GST comes to 1052.46. I assume the extra 56 is for our 2 year ACL warranty (only 1 year in the USA)

        • +3

          5070 is 549, not 599.

      • One can only speculate if the AUD appreciates enough in ~2years such that the upcoming RTX6090 will come in at $4206.90 AUD

  • +3

    Reviews and benchmarks required, $ per frame. Might have to cash in some annual leave, sell the kids and as a last resort the synths. Cpu limited on an 11700k as well. Curious to see how much the Australia tax is.

    • +2

      Aussie tax looks to be about 12-15%.

    • +1

      People buying these generally won't care about $/frame just frames.

      • +2

        Between 5070 to 5080 I'd call it relevant.

        • Maybe but still not sure anyone at those price points is looking at $/frame. They're either juuuuust scraping together enough for a 5070 or buying a 5080 anyway. Just like it's been for many generations.

          • +1

            @drprox: I certainly will be, while I can afford the 5080, if the 5070 does the job at a better price per frame I will save the money for a future upgrade. Will also be having a close look at the RX 9000 series cards to see if they do the job at a better $ per frame.

            edit : ewwww I take it back, the 5070 is only 12GB. how pathetic. that should not be a thing for a $1000+ card in 2025. So for me will be between the 5070 ti and 5080 or potentially RX 9000. I just wish my RX 6800 was not on deaths door so I could skip this gen.

            • @gromit: Yeah, I have an RX6700 and even compared to the 4070 it's not good. My Ship of Theseus machine has gone though maybe 8 graphics cards over the last ~20 years, of both religious persuasions. Time to switch to nVidia again.

  • Funny how this is exactly the covid prices of the 3000 series.

    • +8

      Dunno about you but I bought my 3080 on launch day for just under $1200 AUD. This is substantially more expensive, even if you paid scalper prices.

      • +1

        that's pre-covid pricing!

      • Yeah you bought it launch day. That's not what I am pointing to.

        I bought a 3070Ti for $1500 and a 3080 standard for $1900. Coincidence?

        And then there were people desperate enough to buy above used cards for more than I paid when I moved on.

  • these would be Nvidia direct ones, I will be higher at third party sellers.

    The 2 slot on the FE looks tasty!

    • +1

      Has Australia ever had a direct line to ordering FE cards? Thought that has always been out of our reach.

      • Nope, they never head, which leads me to believe this pricing is most likely the cheapest third party seller pricing. As it says "Starting at". One can only hope the third party guys make 2 slot variants. Sffpc!

    • The FE being 2 slots is awesome, AIBs are doing 3-3.8.

      Here's Asus's ROG Astral rtx 5090 that just appeared, 3.8 :O

      Outside of the beefier heatsinks, you get onlyfans.

      • Phase-change GPU thermal pad

        Thank F for that. No more hotspot issues… hopefully this will be a common theme with all manufacturers

  • +1

    My RTX 2080 Ti 22GB is still going strong. It's good to see they didn't decide to put 8GB of VRAM in any of these yet.

    • Nice, I've had to reduce the frequency on my 11GB so it remains stable. Micron memory issues.

      • Mines still going strong 5.5yrs later :) I'd have to upgrade my 2560 x 1080 monitor before id consider upgrading (and id do the whole pc not just gpu)

      • That's a real shame. I'll see how long mine lasts considering it's a modded card from China for the extra 11GB

  • 4090 owners punching air right now.

    • +2

      "It is one of the best investments you could possibly make, you bring it to your $10000 PC entertainment command centre. Isn't that right? Dont tell me thats not true, Dont be ashamed"

    • +1

      4090 owners will be the ones buying the 5090 lol

    • +7

      They’ve priced the 5 series in a way where the 4090s current price is still relevant(the gap at $3k) ..5070 will just not have 4090 raw performance … maybe in select titles using dlss 4 frame gen trickery. I don’t even think the 5080 will touch the 4090..tbh. Wait till benchmarks I’ll eat my shorts if I’m wrong.

      • +1

        Yep, they said the same thing about the 4070 having the same performance of the 3090 and this new announcement follows in the same vein. We all know what the reality was.

  • +6

    Will wait for the 5090Ti … I don't think $4k is enough for a GPU, I want to pay $10k …

  • +2

    Need to know how much of an improvement the 5080 is over the 4080 super, can't wait for benchmarks to come out

    • +2

      With DLSS 4 apparently it'll be 2x

      graph from nvidia

      but in real world without DLSS 4 (aka multi frame gen) I'm guessing it won't be as much.

      https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/24337402/nvidia-dlss-4-ups…

    • +3

      +5% CUDA cores
      +30% memory bandwidth
      +13% power usage

      10-20% overall performance increase

      5080 does not match the 4090 which is why there is no 5080D for China

      • Don't forget the updated cuda architecture and clock speed, will have to wait for benchmarks

  • +1

    5070 is tempting to buy if those prices hold and dont get inflated, yes our Aussie dollar aint helping the matter either 🙄

  • +1

    $4K AUD 5090 was expected

    Laptop RTX is more interesting:

    5090 Laptop 24GB GDDR7 = 5080 Desktop 16GB performance with extra 8GB VRAM
    5080 Laptop 16GB GDDR7 = 5070 Ti Desktop 16GB performance
    5070 Ti Laptop 12GB GDDR7 = 5070 Desktop 12GB performance
    5070 Laptop 8GB GDDR7 = unannounced 5060 Desktop 8GB performance

    The AMD Defence Force on OzBargain just got played with NV now officially grinding Radeon into dust

    AMD did not even properly announce RDNA 4 with any prices because they were too scared to offer a good deal

    And after Jacket Man announced the 5070 for $550 USD, AMD realised "holy shit, we can't sell this 9070 XT 16GB with 4070 Super'ish performance and single title FSR 4 support for $500 USD"

    • +1

      Rare time where I comment in the forums to note the absolute madness that was that thread. February is going to be amazing.

  • +3

    Same performance with dlss.. not even close in raw performance

  • So realistically one has to pay at least 4.8k to the scalpers to get a 5090 at launch. brb, putting up my kidney for sale on FB Marketplace.

    • +2

      No this is OzBargain

      Wait for Luke's pre order deal on the 5090 like the 4090

      $3.8K AUD would be nice but $4K is more realistic with Tariff Man

      • +1

        Thanks! Didn't know that was a thing to look out for. Will keep an eye out.

      • 3.8 is still far too rich.

        • +3

          If you actually use a GPU to make a living, dropping $4K on a TITAN class card like the 5090 is the easiest decision you'll make all year

          The YouTubers, influencers and kids who drop $4K just to play games - good luck to them

      • Who is Luke?

  • I already have a GPU… no need for a $4000 card.

    edit:
    and new PSU

    The dollar is bad but it still comes to $1613 with the exchange rate. Add $161 for GST. That's around $1800 not $2020.

    Last time I checked- shipping to the US from asia is further than Aus.

    Someone should start a class action lawsuit for this "aus tax". If you remember back to when our dollar was on par with the US and even worth more the same aus tax was in existence.

  • Newbie to the PC scene here.
    Other than FX, AUS logistic tax and GST, can someone explain to me why obtaining one of these will be significantly more $$$$ than what NVIDIA announced today? Third parties throw on fun tax?

  • +2

    I was all set for an upgrade from a 3080 to a 5070, but I'm going to wait to find out how good DLSS 4 is first. If it can give 4090 FPS but only by loading it up with artifacts I'm not really that interested.

    That the 5090 has 30% more cuda cores than the 4090 yet is barely faster in FC6 leaves me a little bit worried. Plague Tale:Requiem only supports DLSS3, so it's basically a minor improvement for gaming. It's only that they introduced multi-frame generation (i.e. generating more than one frame between each real frame) that gives the boost, and there's no promise that will actually look good.

    • They still claim about 20-25% increase in FC6 based on that chart.

      • 30% increase in cores for 20-25% in performance is minor IMO. But what worries me is the upgrade I mentioned above, I want to go from a 3080 to a 5070. The 4070 was slower than the 3080 by about 10% without DLSS. If the 5070 is only 20-25% better than the 4070 then the raw performance increase is pretty much nonexistent.

        I'll upgrade if DLSS 4 is good, hopefully it does amazing single frame generation or something and it'll justify the $600 upgrade. Assuming I can even get a 5070 on release. But I'll still wait until I can see that DLSS 4 is actually good.

    • Next gen cores, higher core count, better memory bandwidth yet not a wowza performance increase (talking raster only).

      • It's clear their target market is the right hand side of that chart, not the left!

    • +1

      I would think if upgrading from a 3080 you would at least look to jump to 16GB VRAM, the 5070 is a lemon.

      • +1

        The minister of finance has vetoed spending over $2k on a GPU.

        Maybe I’ll wait for 5070ti benchmarks and AMDs options. At the moment it’s not looking worth the upgrade.

        • +1

          yeah I would have to do some political dealing to hide from finance minister otherwise she will use it as an excuse to go shopping. I had expected the 5070 to be an easy buy but that 12GB I think make it not worth it as far cheaper options for 1440p and it will be hamstrung in 4k down the road. 5070ti looks nice but will see what the 9070 perf/price comes in at.

  • +8

    Looks like majority of the performance uplift's coming from fake frames.

  • +1

    These are so overkill for 99.99% of people. Not sure why people obsess over them when a 5 year old+ card is usually fine for most of whatever people are doing.

    • +3

      Where is the fun in fine?
      it can't all go on my mortgage…

    • +2

      Let me guess, you drive 20 years old Camry?

  • -1

    I will pass ! I will wait until DLSS 5

    • +4

      But what about dlss 6?

  • I'm curious to see benchmarks with the new frame gen but I think I may be keeping my 6800xt as long as I kept my 980Ti at this rate…

    • Yep my 6900xt is not concerned here…looks lame as

      • +1

        Not much happening on team Amd to entice an upgrade either. Maybe once some real numbers and partner pricing and competition is out we will see some worth while options fall out of the marketing fluff.

  • +4

    5070 gives "4090 levels of performance for USD$549"

    no VRAM though

  • Definitely seem like better value then the 4000 series. But i wont be buying. I base my GPU purchases around the next graphically intensive AAA game im looking forward to. And i wont be upgrading from my 3080 until either GTA6 or Witcher 4 releases.

  • +3

    $1109 for a card with 12GB VRAM, yikes.

  • +1

    5070 is obsolete before even launching, lol.

  • +1

    Wish they would release a successor to the GT1030 so I can upgrade my $80 ex corporate desktop computer with a 180watt psu

  • +3

    I’ll be going from a 3080 to 5080. The $2k seems acceptable for triple the performance. I won’t see a single lost frame when changing browser tabs. (I don’t use chrome - that would have been a big ask).

    • I’m in the same boat as you, it won’t be triple. Looks like ~20% over the 4080 in raster performance which is similar to the 4080 over the 3080, so maybe 50% uplift?

      All the gains on the charts are from improved DLSS, RT performance and in some cases frame generation. The bottom end of the chart like FC6 (RT only) is a more realistic idea of raster performance.
