+1200 € for an RTX 5090 instead of an RTX 5080 in an Acer PC?

A German reseller had a moment of confusion this week, shall we say, by publishing product sheets for several PCs Acer Predator Orion 7000 new generation, featuring new graphics cards GeForce RTX 5090 et GeForce RTX 5080 with Blackwell architecture from the manufacturer NVIDIA. But more than just these product sheets, there were also the prices indicated and even if the blunder was quickly corrected, it was obviously too late once all of this was referenced by the Google search engine…

Four different models of the Predator Orion 7000 (PO7-660) of its full name were thus fully revealed with their prices, which we first invite you to discover via a summary table:

Acer Predator Orion 7000 (2025) Configuration 1 Configuration 2 Configuration 3 Configuration 4
Processor Core Ultra 7 265KF Core Ultra 7 265KF Core Ultra 9 285K Core Ultra 9 285K
RAM 32 Go DDR5-6000 32 Go DDR5-6000 64 Go DDR5-6000 128 Go DDR5-6000
Storage 2 x 1 To 2 x 1 To 2 x 1 To 3 x 2 To
Graphics card GeForce RTX 5080 16 Go GDDR7 GeForce RTX 5090 32 Go GDDR7 GeForce RTX 5090 32 Go GDDR7 GeForce RTX 5090 32 Go GDDR7
Food 1200 W 1200 W 1200 W 1200 W
Prix 3499 € 4699 € 4999 € 5999 €

We have carefully observed the product sheets in PDF format for each of the configurations (which you can find in the source at the bottom of this news) and the configurations have a perfectly identical base, right down to the autonomous CPU watercooling or the power supply, which is each time a 1200 W model. Enough to carefully observe the price differences between each configuration to get an idea of ​​what causes the different increases.

And the first two configurations are particularly interesting in this sense since the only difference between them is the presence of an RTX 5080 16 GB GDDR7 in the first, against an RTX 5090 32 GB GDDR7 in the second. As you can see, this change alone causes a price increase of €1200. Obviously, nothing says that the price difference will be completely identical between the two cards in the retail sector, but this still gives us an indication that the secret around the prices of the new GeForce Blackwell is definitely the best kept for many years. many months.

We can otherwise quickly observe the other price differences between the configurations to see if Acer is the type to increase its prices beyond reason. Between configurations 2 and 3, we gain a Core Ultra 9 285K instead of the Ultra 7 265KF, and move to 2 x 32 GB of DDR5 instead of 2 x 16 GB, for a price increase of €300. The 285K is currently worth around €270 more than the 265KF and the 64 GB of RAM cause an additional cost of around €100 again, the price of €4999 therefore seems surprisingly low even which may leave some doubt about the veracity of the prices indicated, or in any case suggest a price error at least on this variation at a price very close to the previous one. The difference of 1000 € with “Configuration 4” may seem abnormally high to you, but you should know that the 128 GB kits in DDR5-6000 and, moreover, RGB are still very rare and overpriced, so difficult to quantify the value of this improvement in the configuration because each brand will go there of its choice in relation to the market. A +400 or +500 € compared to 64 GB of RAM would absolutely not be surprising in the end. Add to that around €350 or €400 for the upgrade to 6TB of SSD and the total price is ultimately not that surprising for an elitist model targeting a specific audience.

So, €1200 more for an RTX 5090 32 GB compared to an RTX 5080 16 GB? Everything is possible, but in any case we seem to be heading towards the biggest price gap between two successive cards in the history of the NVIDIA GeForce consumer range!
