NVIDIA is gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated Blackwell-based RTX 50-series gaming GPUs at CES 2025. Expected to lead the charge are the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models, designed to deliver groundbreaking performance and cutting-edge features.
A German retailer has confirmed the specifications and pricing for Acer Predator Orion 7000 systems featuring these GPUs. The RTX 5090 boasts 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, 21,760 CUDA cores, and a 512-bit memory bus, while the RTX 5080 features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, 10,752 CUDA cores, and a 256-bit bus.

-Core Ultra 7 265KF, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, RTX 5080 priced at €3,499
The price difference between the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 systems is roughly €1,200, highlighting the premium nature of the RTX 5090. While the RTX 5090 offers unparalleled power and performance, the RTX 5080 provides a more budget-friendly option for gamers seeking high-quality performance at a lower price point.
