The Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card, originally priced at an MSRP of $1,999, is currently trading at prices exceeding $7,500. Market availability is tightening, with reports suggesting that retailers like Micro Center may soon stop stocking the standalone units.
The RTX 5090 features 21,760 CUDA cores, 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, and a 512-bit memory bus with a bandwidth of up to 1,792 GB/s. It significantly outperforms the RTX 5080, which contains 10,752 CUDA cores.
Consumers can still acquire the GPU through prebuilt gaming systems from manufacturers such as Dell, HP, MSI, and Skytech. For instance, a Dell system featuring an AMD 9950X3D processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD is currently priced at $7,499.99.
Additional prebuilt options include MSI Infinite ZS models available at Best Buy and Skytech configurations at Newegg. The Skytech units feature the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, and 2TB of Gen4 NVMe SSD storage.
