I'd skipped the 40 series. I replaced my 1080 GTX with a 3070TI but didn't replace the rest of the kit (bottleneck), which is running a 6 series i7. So at this point a new build is prudent. Here's a snippet from a recent article:
Below are the RTX 50 series prices that Nvidia are reportedly considering.
RTX 5090 – $1,999 to $2,499
RTX 5080 – $1,199 to 1,499
RTX 5070 – $599 – $699
When the RTX 4080 launched with a price tag of $1,199, everyone thought it was overpriced. There’s a reason why the RTX 4080 SUPER launched with higher specs for $999. With the RTX 5080, Nvidia is reportedly considering a return to its $1,199 price point and even higher prices. Simply put, PC gamers will be angered by this, as nobody wants to see GPU pricing skyrocket any further.
