Buying an RTX 4090 now would cost you 1,000 euros more than 6 months ago

In the absence of official confirmation, NVIDIA will present the new range of graphics in the series RTX50 in a few weeks, at CES 2025, an event that, once again, is held in Las Vegas and that the company already took advantage of last year to announce the RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4080 SUPER.

A few months ago, various sources indicated that NVIDIA was about to stop manufacturing the RTX 4090, the highest-end model of this manufacturer to start production of the RTX 5090.

When a new generation is launched, of any device, as the presentation date approaches, the old one drops in price to release the available stock, however, with the RTX 4090 the opposite has happened.

This same graph model, in June 2024shortly before the first leaks related to the production of the RTX 4090, was priced at 1,759 euros. In October, when the rumors appeared, its price rose to 3,476 euros.

If you were considering taking advantage of the launch of the RTX 5090 to buy the RTX 4090, the best thing you can do is wait for this new model to hit the market. It will be then that the RTX 4090 will be available at a lower price than when it arrived on the market as manufacturers will need to get rid of the accumulated stock.
