The new RTX 5080 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce is the flagship custom RTX 5080 from GIGABYTE on the retailer's list, with Finnish retailer ProShop, preparing PC gamers with early GeForce RTX 5080 listings. GIGABYTE's upcoming GeForce RTX 5080 WindForce 3 OC graphics card starts at €1229 or US$1258, which includes 20% VAT.

NVIDIA has an MSRP for the GeForce RTX 5080 in the EU region, and without that 20% VAT, the price of the custom RTX 5080 will fall to around $1000. GIGABYTE has higher-end custom RTX 5080s like the Gaming OC, AERO OC, and AORUS branded cards that are more expensive again.
