By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Nvidia's high-end RTX 5090 graphics card is rapidly disappearing from online retailers in the US, with third-party sellers listing the GPU for prices as high as $9,500. This scarcity is driven by demand from the AI industry, which finds the card's specifications attractive for server builds, even at inflated prices. While online availability has evaporated, some physical retailers like Micro Center still offer the card closer to its original price. AI
