Nvidia RTX 5090 vanishes from US online retail amid AI demand

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Nvidia's high-end RTX 5090 graphics card has become nearly impossible to find from official online retailers in the US, with inventory vanishing in under a week. Third-party sellers are now listing the GPU for prices ranging from $6,500 to over $9,500, a significant markup from its typical price. This scarcity is largely driven by demand from the AI industry, where the RTX 5090's capabilities make it an attractive, albeit expensive, option for AI servers. While Micro Center still offers the card at closer to MSRP in its physical stores, online availability remains extremely limited. AI

IMPACT Accelerates demand for high-end GPUs in AI development, potentially impacting availability and cost for both consumers and AI researchers.
