GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 Custom Card Prices Revealed by Proshop Listings

Finland's Proshop has listed eight GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 custom design graphics card models, complete with prices in Euros—please note that value added tax (VAT) is included. Team Green's CES 2025 "Blackwell" announcement revealed an MSRP of €1229 (without VAT: €979) for the GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition (for Finland, and other European countries). Board partners usually tack on extra charges for their custom interpretations—fancier variants commonly demand a premium upcharge. The VideoCardz sleuthing network has discovered that GIGABYTE's launch selection errs more towards the upper-end—Proshop's premature listing reveals only a single model coming in at Team Green's baseline MSRP. As always, these figures are subject to change—we are still in a pre-launch holding pattern.

The GIGABYTE RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC card is the only listed model that adheres to NVIDIA's standard MSRP—VideoCardz has kindly crunched the numbers (refer to their diagram below) and reckons that the seven other options demand premiums across a range of 15% to 35%. Recent GIGABYTE press material places every model in a premium tier, even the entry-point SFF-Ready WINDFORCE OC model. An upcharge of 440 Euros is applicable with GIGABYTE's range-topping AORUS Xtreme WaterForce option. One step above Team Green MSRP baseline bags you the GeForce RTX 5080 GAMING OC model—an extra investment of 190 Euros goes into a larger cooling solution and shroud design (featuring RGB lighting). TechPowerUp anticipates further price leaks to emerge—from other manufacturers—as we close in on launch day: January 30.

They aren't, these prices include VAT/sales tax.

If you look at the price for Asus RTX 5080 Prime OC which is a very basic model, it is actually very close to the price for the Nvidia Founders Edition 5080.

Don't forget that European stores are legally required to put VAT (sales tax) in the sticker price.
As this store is based in Finland, that sales tax is 25.5%.

You're right... the screenshot actually shows 979 euro, which is ~$999 USD. The article should probably be updated to reflect this.

Why because you don't understand that it's normal in the rest of the world to add the taxes to the price?

Probably because the article states "announcement revealed an MSRP of €1229" when the MSRP is €979 and with VAT it's €1229.

But I do wish that everywhere showed taxes built into the price.

4080 Super is like 1300-1600€+ atm here in Finland... I was expecting even higher prices for 5000-series.

$2000 for 5090 should be ~2500€ here, but like with last gen, unobtanium at those prices, most likely. It will cost close to 2900-3100€. Mark my words. :D

Btw, cheapest Intel B580 is like 330€.

I'm so lucky I don't have to upgrade.

Did we read the same article. There’s a MSRP card listed. Did you expect every cad to be listed at MSRP? How many 9070 XT cards do you think will be listed at MRSP?

A gpu which costs over a £1000 and has just 16gb of vram is just a no go for me I'm afraid. Which is a shame as I was hoping to be buying a 24gb 5080 this time around.

I think we'll be waiting until next year before we see a 24GB 5080, as part of the "Super" refresh.

Those prices are mad man.

I got the 3080 for €794 (gigabyte windforce OC)
So the 5000 edition is €435 more expensive. Which is an increase of more than 50%
And that considering its still an 16GB card for a non RGB version....

the 4080 Supers go for a round 1000€ (after tax) not sure if they are worth (at least) 200€ increased price...

(looks up current prices: Err... nvm they now go for almost 1100€...)

I'll agree with you on the condition you also start blaming the government that asks 26% upfront (and how I wish it was only 26%, I myself am gonna have to pay around 100% extra)

no the MSRP in the rest of the world is always with VAT in it. If you order literally from said companies you will get MSRP prices with VAT included. That the US can't even agree on having 1 VAT price in the country is not the rest of the worlds problem it's an US problem. The only time when VAT isn't added on products is when the business mainly operates with other businesses then it becomes excluded VAT and you will see that on the pages.

So the non-VAT price isn't called MSRP. I didn't know this. Is it just named non-VAT or without VAT?

In the UK we call it "ex VAT" - (Excluding VAT)
