No possible way someone actually buy these at these prices right lol..

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 is vanishing from shelves at major US retailers, while remaining stock is being listed at prices far beyond the graphics card's $1,999 MSRP. A third-party listing has breached the $10,000 mark, with many listings in the $8,000-$9,000 range, underscoring how difficult it has become to secure NVIDIA's flagship consumer GPU at its official price.

The RTX 5090's pricing issues aren't limited to the US, either. We recently reported that prices for the flagship GPU in Europe have climbed beyond €5,000, more than double its MSRP.

Some RTX 5090 models on Newegg from third-party vendors are reportedly listed for between $6,549 (MSI Ventus 3X) and $9,300 (ZOTAC ARCTICSTORM AIO). Note that these listing prices are subject to change. If you stick to options directly sold by Newegg, you'll be limited to bundles, particularly the ASUS 20th Anniversary Combo, and pre-built systems.

Just to clear things up: I’ve been a PC gamer for 11 years, and I’ve owned a PS5 Slim since Spider-Man 2 launched.

I literally just wanted to bring attention to the issue and see your opinions, but instead of having a normal discussion, you all started fighting. This subreddit is hilarious.

Honestly, reading most of these comments, it feels like people are defending consoles and Sony's terrible choices. It's like you don't even understand that digital gaming on PC is completely different from PlayStation. You guys call yourselves PC gamers, yet you're out here defending a massive corporation that is literally spitting in your face. It's wild.

It’s the exact same trick they are pulling with GTA 6. They price the Ultimate Edition at $100 with cut content, and set the "Standard" at $80 with stripped features just to make you think the $100 version is a "great deal." In reality, $100 is the new standard. It's a textbook psychological trick and brilliant marketing, and you guys are falling right for it.

$1,000 digital-exclusive consoles are killing the entire appeal of PlayStation and Xbox: it's no wonder PC is on track to overtake both.

A prolific performer across stage, screen and TV, the actor starred in Legend, Clue and It, but will always be associated with the flamboyantly camp rock’n’roll musical in which he made his breakthrough.
