Last week, gamers still holding any hope that the GPU market would somehow stabilize had their hopes dashed.
Key facts
- A while after Nvidia reportedly put the RTX 50 Super series on hold, rumors started flying that production of the already-rare RTX 5090 was stopping, likely to use precious silicon manufacturing
- At Amazon, RTX 5090s are selling for about $8,500, but from third-party sellers
- Best Buy has a grand amount of naught cards on offer, while Newegg lists 5090s for about $7,300, but from what are likely Chinese sellers, judging by the shipping time
- Yet there are no new GPU launches from any of the three, and their quarterly launch figures keep doubling down on AI

"The supply chain (capacity) is indeed somewhat constrained, but NVIDIA is doing everything it can to get the product on the market. He also reportedly reiterated a common quote from Nvidia execs, stating that without GeForce, Nvidia wouldn't be where it is today, and likewise, the AI market wouldn't exist as it does today. The claim that the card isn't gone after all merits some spot-checking, so they did a cursory browse of the common retailers. At Amazon, RTX 5090s are selling for about $8,500, but from third-party sellers.
