Trying to finalize my upgrade before the holiday rush starts and I am torn between three cards right now. I have about $1200 saved up and I need to make sure whatever I get fits in my tiny ITX case since space is super tight.
Im looking at these:
- RTX 5080 (leaning this way for the balance)
- RTX 5090 (only if there is a massive leak)
- 5070 Ti Super (if I want to save some cash for a new OLED)
Are there any leaked price lists for Black Friday 2026 yet? I really want to know if the 5080 is gonna drop below a grand or if I should just pull the trigger now...

Ngl there arent any concrete leaks for Black Friday 2026 pricing this far out, but im pretty satisfied with how the market is looking. Honestly, the 5080 dropping under a grand seems unlikely given how nvidia usually keeps prices high. I went with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition 16GB GDDR7 for my own SFF build and it works well without any stability issues. Its been very reliable so far. Few things to keep in mind for your ITX case:
- 5090 cards are probably gonna be massive 4-slot monsters
- Safety and thermals are more important than a small discount
- A PNY Verto RTX 5070 Ti Super 16GB might be the sweet spot for space I think sticking to a safe choice is better than waiting for a leak that might never happen. Better to be happy with a solid build today.
