Jensen Huang officially resigned as CEO of Nvidia on November 12, ending his 33-year tenure at the company. Following his departure amid personal reputation scandals, interest in hardware items bearing his signature has surged significantly within collector communities.
A specific GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition card featuring Huang's gold signature has become a focal point on Reddit. Prior to the resignation, similar signed units traded at approximately $10,005. Current market estimates for the card have risen to $50,000.
Market participants hold conflicting views on the long-term value of these items. Some suggest that once the current scandal fades, the price could drop to standard market levels. Others propose obtaining additional signatures to increase the historical significance of the piece.
Hardware enthusiasts are currently advising owners to seek professional grading to preserve the condition of these cards. The future valuation remains highly volatile, as the US Congress has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Huang's departure.
