TL;DR / At a Glance: As of April 14, 2026, NVIDIA has officially launched the GeForce RTX 50 Series “PRAGMATA” bundle. Customers who purchase an eligible RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 (desktop or laptop) from participating Malaysian retailers like TMT (Thunder Match) will receive a digital Steam copy of Capcom’s PRAGMATA. The promotion runs until May 12, 2026, coinciding with the game’s official global launch on April 17, 2026.
After years of delays and “coming soon” trailers, Capcom’s sci-fi epic PRAGMATA is finally here. But the real headline isn’t just the game—it’s the hardware required to run it. NVIDIA is using this launch to showcase the absolute dominance of its Blackwell architecture, and the pricing in Malaysia is as “pro” as it gets.
About Pragmata
Set on a lunar research station, the game follows spacefarer Hugh and android Diana as they work together to fight a hostile AI known as IDUS that is controlling the station and return to Earth. The game is scheduled to be released on April 17, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2.
The Blackwell Hierarchy: What You Need to Play
The PRAGMATA bundle is a clear signal from NVIDIA: if you want the true experience, you need to be on the RTX 5070 tier or higher. Notably, the RTX 5060 Ti is excluded from this bundle, as NVIDIA’s own internal benchmarks suggest that Path Tracing (the holy grail of lighting) requires the horsepower of the 5070 Ti and above.
The “Pragmata” Performance Tiers:
- Minimum: RTX 5060 Ti (Rasterization Only)
- Recommended: RTX 5070 Ti (DLSS 4 + Path Tracing)
- Ultra: RTX 5080 / 5090 (Native 4K Path Tracing)
Malaysia Pricing: Prepare Your Wallet
Local retailers like TMT have already listed the ASUS ROG and TUF Gaming Blackwell variants. If you’re building a rig right now, here is what the damage looks like:
| GPU Model | Variant (ASUS Example) | Est. Malaysia Price |
| RTX 5090 (32GB GDDR7) | ROG Astral OC | RM 18,999 |
| RTX 5080 (16GB GDDR7) | ROG Astral OC | RM 8,199 |
| RTX 5070 Ti (16GB GDDR7) | TUF Gaming OC | RM 5,659 |
| RTX 5070 (12GB GDDR7) | Dual OC | RM 3,239 |
DLSS 4: The 8x Performance Jump
The big talking point for the 50-series is DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation. Unlike the previous version, DLSS 4 uses AI to generate three additional frames for every one natively rendered frame. In PRAGMATA, this allows the RTX 5090 to reach performance levels up to 8x higher than traditional rendering.
The “Adam Lobo” Real Talk
Let’s be real: RM 19,000 for a graphics card is insane. But for creators and hardcore gamers, the 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM on the 5090 isn’t just for games—it’s a localised AI workstation. However, for most Malaysians, the RTX 5070 at RM 3,239 is the clear sweet spot for this generation, offering flagship-level performance from two years ago at a mid-range price.
Wait, wasn’t there a GPU shortage?
