kotaku.com • • technology
Key Points:
- The RTX 5090 graphics card is currently priced at an unprecedented $7,500 at Best Buy, reflecting a significant price surge driven by demand from crypto mining and generative AI sectors.
- Amazon prices for the RTX 5090 have also skyrocketed, with the Gigabyte AORUS model reaching $6,899, more than triple its original $1,999 MSRP at launch.
- Despite being over a year and a half old, the RTX 5090 has not seen the typical post-launch price drop due to limited supply and high demand from AI server warehouses, with no release date yet for the next-generation 6000 series for home desktops.
- The RTX 5080 remains more accessible at around $1,700, but it is significantly less powerful than the 5090, offering about half the cores, VRAM, and memory bandwidth, making it a more feasible but less capable option for PC builders.
