Micro Center’s October 31 capture lists an RTX 5080 at $2,349.99

A Micro Center listing captured on October 31 puts the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming OC at $2,349.99. The listing specifies in-store pickup only and says shipping is unavailable. On the same captured page, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 Windforce SFF OC is listed at $1,979.99, also for in-store pickup.

What the October 31 listing shows

The $2,349.99 offer is for the specific Gaming OC card, part number GV-N5080GAMING OC-16GD. It is $1,350.99 above the reported $999 RTX 5080 launch-price reference. That comparison uses one retailer listing and the reported launch reference, not an average price across RTX 5080 cards.

The two prices on Micro Center’s page are for different Gigabyte models. The Gaming OC product listing states that the Gaming OC requires in-store pickup and is unavailable for shipping.

How it compares with earlier US observations

VideoCardz’s October 28 survey put the lowest named new RTX 5080 offers at $1,979.99: the Gigabyte Windforce SFF OC and MSI Suprim Liquid SOC at Micro Center, with pickup at selected stores. The survey’s lowest identified online option was a PNY GeForce RTX 5080 Triple Fan OC at Best Buy for $1,999.99. It excluded used, refurbished, backordered, sold-out, and unverifiable marketplace listings.

Chris Mizo’s October 27 video shows a separate Micro Center check, including an ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Prime listed at $2,349.99. The dates, models, and purchase terms matter: the October 28 survey floor and the October 31 Gaming OC listing are not prices for the same card. The cause of the reported increase was not established in the October 28 account.

Chris Mizo’s video description lists affiliate links; the screen-recorded retailer check is his dated observation, not a nationwide survey.
