Even the 60\-class cards in the region have now started selling for around $750, while higher\-end models have already crossed the $2,000 mark\. We aren't talking about the[GeForce RTX 5090, as the GPU has been discontinued](https://wccftech.com/nvidia-axes-rtx-5090-production-gamers-get-rtx-5080-24-gb/)\. It's the GeForce RTX 5080 that launched at $999 \(around US$1260 in Japan\), but now sells for over $1500 in most regions\. In Japan, the pricing is even worse, and now the GPU sells for over $2,000\.
