The RTX 5080 dropped hard, and the RTX 5090 snapped back up

Today finally gave the RTX 5080 a price that looks a lot more like a real buying conversation. Amazon dropped the tracked card from $1,599.99 to $1,299.00, a 19% cut in one refresh. At the same time the tracked RTX 5090 snapped from $4,999.00 back to $6,809.90 and the page is marked unavailable again. That blows the gap between those two cards back out to $5,510.90, which makes the RTX 5080 vs. RTX 5090 comparison look downright absurd.

The workstation stack stayed flat after verification. The tracked RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell remains at $14,999.99; the anomalous $4,969.99 observation from August 28 was removed after follow-up verification did not substantiate it as the tracked listing’s current price. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell vs. RTX 5090 comparison therefore keeps the last verified workstation price rather than presenting a false day-over-day drop.

Used pricing stayed more grounded than the new market. The refreshed eBay listing for the RTX 4060 is down to $249.99 against a $479.00 Amazon price, and the RTX 5060 now has a $250.00 used listing versus $459.99 new. That keeps the value story pointed straight at the midrange and the used aisle, even on a day when the flagship cards are swinging all over the place.
