This information was provided by the Finnish retailer Proshop, which has indicated the prices for Gigabyte's RTX 5080 graphics cards in advance. Only the Gigabyte WindForce model has a recommended price of €1229, while the other six variants are much more expensive.
Even the most budgetary models, such as Gaming OC and Aero OC, are estimated at €1419. Models of the Aorus series are much more expensive. As for the Aorus Xtreme WaterForce version, it will cost €1669.
There is a chance that other video card manufacturers will not follow Gigabyte's lead and offer more models at the recommended price, or at least not much more expensive.
In addition, if the number of graphics cards is limited, there is a chance that they will sell out quickly after the launch and remain in short supply for some time. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models will go on sale on January 30.
