Nvidia RTX 5090 Graphics Card Price Skyrockets

Kotaku · technology

Graphics cards have become prohibitively expensive in 2026, with the Nvidia RTX 5090 now retailing for an astonishing $7,500 at Best Buy. This price is more than triple its original MSRP of $1,999, which was already double the intended launch price. The scarcity and high cost are driven by demand from AI server warehouses, impacting the availability and pricing of even less powerful GPUs like the RTX 5080.
