  "account": "Nvidia has quietly discontinued the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics cards, causing their street prices to soar to over 2.2 times their original MSRP. The GeForce RTX 5080, launched in January, originally retailed for $999, but its current market price has more than doubled due to a memory shortage. The PNY GeForce RTX 5080 ARGB Epic-X RGB OC retails for $2,199.99, a price that is quickly becoming unaffordable. Despite the absence of the GeForce RTX 5080 listings, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5070 remain available, suggesting Nvidia is keeping them in stock to maintain consumer interest. Rumors suggest Nvidia has stopped producing the GeForce RTX 5090 to repurpose its valuable GB202 silicon for the RTX Pro Blackwell lineup, which fetches higher margins. Nvidia may soon introduce the GeForce RTX 5080 24GB as the new flagship gaming graphics card, but this higher memory variant offers only 2X fewer CUDA cores than the GeForce RTX 5090, making it an inferior drop-in replacement. The GeForce RTX 5080's scarcity and steep price increases suggest it may not be available by Black Friday, and consumers may need to act quickly if they want to purchase it.",
