Nvidia plays a leading role, AMD plays a minor role: CES 2025 strategy comparison

The most notable good news here is the price. The GeForce RTX 5080 maintained the RTX 4080 Super’s impressive price of $999. Compared to the unpopular price of $1,199 for the RTX 4080, the situation has improved significantly.

The RTX 5070 is currently priced at $549, which is $50 cheaper than the $599 price of the RTX 4070 Super. With the added performance, it will be an excellent cost-effective choice. The price of the RTX 5070 Ti has also been lowered to $749, which is good news for users considering a high-end GPU.

However, the RTX 5090 is an exception. This model is priced at $1,999, 25% higher than the RTX 4090. It may seem a bit expensive, but early rumors predicted that the price of the RTX 5090 would be much higher than this. We’ll know for sure through actual performance reviews, but the specs alone can be enough to justify the price increase. Not only is it the first gaming GPU equipped with 32GB VRAM, but the remaining specifications are also impressive enough to be described as ‘superheroes’. This is expected to deliver excellent performance in productivity and various tasks beyond simply gaming performance.

New technologies built into GPUs are expected to provide amazing gaming experiences in the future. NVIDIA’s neural network rendering utilizing 5th generation Tensor Cores shows very promising potential. The upgraded RT core is expected to have a significant impact on ray tracing. Ray tracing has become almost a necessity among avid gamers for the most visually appealing graphics.

Ilner’s high-end technology combines with DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation to eliminate FPS performance drops without noticeable visual impact.

However, initial performance figures need to be interpreted carefully. This is because the new GPU is promoted while emphasizing technologies such as DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation. We’re still not sure how it will perform in most games, especially those that don’t support new technologies.
