According to reports,The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is almost completely sold out across U.S. online retail channels, with official stock vanishing in less than a week.On Newegg and Amazon, only third-party sellers remain, with prices ranging from $6,395 to $9,500 (note: approximately 42,900–63,730 RMB).
The cheapest RTX 5090 on Newegg is the MSI Ventus 3X, offered by Slava Computers for $6,449. This seller has only a 2.8-star rating from 239 reviews. The top search result for "RTX 5090" is the MSI Ventus 3X OC, listed at $8,699.
On Amazon, the cheapest option is the ASUS TUF Gaming OC at $6,395, sold by Joes Tech Shop, which has an 81% positive feedback rating. However, several recent one-star reviews claim that orders were not shipped after purchase.
In June, the median price of the RTX 5090 was just $4,299. By early September, the lowest price had risen to $5,199. In less than two weeks, online stock completely disappeared, and prices from third-party sellers soared once again.
Micro Center is the only exception, still offering the card at its regular retail price, with the cheapest in-stock model at $4,299 (note: approximately 28,839 RMB). Micro Center has sold graphics cards exclusively through its physical stores for years, allowing it to avoid this wave of online scalping.
The core driver behind the RTX 5090 rush is AI. The RTX 5090 features the GB202 core and 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, while the RTX Pro 5000 48GB uses the same GPU but with one-third fewer stream processors and lower memory bandwidth, yet it sells for between $7,000 and $9,000. For those building AI servers, the RTX 5090 remains a cost-effective option even at prices above $5,000.
