Recently,during the GeForce Week promotion held by North American retail giant Walmart, the MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio graphics card was listed for a limited time at $4,299 (approximately ¥30,296).
Although this price far exceeds the official listing, it still triggered a frenzy among players compared to the high scalper prices currently on the market, and the page now shows it as sold out.
As NVIDIA's current flagship graphics core, the RTX 5090 has an official MSRP of just $1,999 (approximately ¥14,087).
However, due to the global AI boom and production constraints, the card is nearly impossible to find on the open market. General quotes from third-party sellers and scalpers have exceeded $8,000 (approximately ¥56,378), representing a premium rate of up to 300%.
In terms of hardware specifications, this MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio is equipped with 32GB of ultra-large VRAM. In the 2026 GPU performance tier list's 4K resolution tests, it ranks first in the industry for both pure rasterization and ray tracing performance.
Visually, the card continues the Gaming series' signature dark style, featuring a massive silent triple-fan cooling system beneath understated black armor to handle the high heat output of the flagship core.
In terms of interfaces and power supply, the card not only provides high-bandwidth display output ports but also adopts the improved 12V-2x6 new power connector on the power supply end, replacing the older connectors prone to physical damage.
With the next generation of GeForce graphics cards still a long way off, GPU prices are expected to continue rising amid the AI boom. Although $4,299 is more than double the MSRP, it remains the most accessible best option for obtaining a top-tier gaming GPU in the current market environment.
