NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics cards are currently out of stock across major US online retailers, including Newegg and Amazon. Official inventory was depleted in less than a week, leaving only third-party sellers on these platforms. Prices for the units now range from $6,395 to $9,500.
Specific listings illustrate the price surge. On Newegg, a MSI Ventus 3X model is priced at $6,449, while the Ventus 3X OC version is listed at $8,699. On Amazon, an ASUS TUF Gaming OC model is offered for $6,395, though recent customer reviews for the seller report issues with order fulfillment.
The price trajectory for the RTX 5090 has been steep. In June, the median price was $4,299, rising to a minimum of $5,199 by early September. Within the last two weeks, online availability vanished entirely, causing third-party prices to climb significantly above the previous levels.
Micro Center remains the only retailer maintaining standard pricing, with the cheapest available units priced at $4,299. The company continues to sell graphics cards exclusively through its physical retail locations, which has shielded its inventory from the automated online purchasing activity seen elsewhere.
High demand for the RTX 5090 is driven by AI development needs. The card features the GB202 core and 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Builders of AI servers consider the card a cost-effective alternative to the RTX Pro 5000 48GB, which uses the same GPU but offers fewer stream processors and lower memory bandwidth at a higher price point of $7,000 to $9,000.
