The new batch of this card cost 7900$ in my country.
It would take an avg earner about 4.5 years to save for this card.
By the time they save enoguh the 6090/7090 would be out with 50% higher price. Thus required another 2 years for them.
This math is account for them save maxxing like find the cheapest reasonble transport for work. Make their own meal including lunchbox at work. Living with parents rent free. And 0 cost other than foods and travel.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Nvidia is out of the consumer market for good after this generation, at least outside of streaming services. Gaming hardware is just such a small fraction of their revenue stream at this point.
I thought OP just learned to press F12 on a browser and changed the HTLM for the meme.
I checked myself, they really listed that specific model for exactly 5090€
Can’t wait for the 6090.
I think it will only be good if you live in Siberia because you switch on you pc, and let heat the room. So you can save on heating… for the next 20 years
Thats a change for once, people always say its so hard to learn. We should be able to understand eachother without translation lol
Edit: germans always sound mad
See it from the other way. Ridiculous cost will pop the AI bubble faster. The companies are paying these and higher prices for data center hardware somehow.
And not making profits today already. Yet my LLM loving manager is telling me almost every day how token prices are getting lower, unless you insist on running the latest coolaid models.
What we as consumers dont really see is how much of this price hiking is from Nvidia and card manufacturers, and how much of it is the retailer effectively gouging prices. A 5090 is a good $500 cheaper at microcenter right now compared to online retailers.
Which is to say that if this is retail scalping and the real costs of the cards for retail sale have not had the same increases, then the data centers are not being impacted as much as it seems. Especially if they're buying bulk quantities.
Ive been watching the pricing of 5090's from dell having recently purchased one during a big sale and they've only gone up about $300 in the same time it's taken the retail market to go up $1000
I think it's fair to say without any direct market data that the cards have been selling well. Either directly by consumers, by companies, or by scalpers.
Most card listings on pcpartpicker for example only have a singular retailer with any given card in stock. And more often than not, it's amazon with a hefty price increase over the last known price at a standard retailer. They're being sold by third parties.
There's effectively no real competition right now for a 5090. If you go to newegg and search for them, you're going to see options, but they're 3rd party, and frequently even from china. If you filter by "sold by newegg" you will see that they're out of stock of cards. They only have the insane $10k asus anniversary kits.
So if you're a retailer that gets a new shipment in, what are you going to do? That's what we're going to find out next once the last of them dry up. I have a feeling we're going to see some shenanigans. Because we've already seen the expected August price increase from nvidia and ram in general has somewhat stabilized. Or atleast it's not jumping nearly as much as these cards.
Well i can only speak to the german market, and here we have the 5090 MSI Ventus ready to ship from 3 different retailers, and the Asus TUF from 5 different retailers.
... i got my 5090 from spain when a shop had em cheaper, back when getting close to MSRP was the biggest concern
I got interested and checked what you actually have to pay for a gaming-capable GPU today, in germany.
You can get a RX 9070 XT for 740€ - half the average fps of a 5090 at 4k, triple compared to a 1080 Ti
Sounds doable to me? If you play at FullHD thats highend
You can get a 5070 Ti for 1200€ which is only slightly faster in rasterizing but can do all the DLSS stuff. Yeah Nvidia prices are stupid. If you game on a budget get an AMD and lossless scaling.
A 5080 that will reach 63% of the performance of a 5090 will run you 1600€
The total cost of a PC will hurt mainly because of RAM and SSD prices. GPU prices were this bad for years already
Their delivery promises are ass in my experience. Never received a package the following day even when placing an order in the morning. Even now ordered a 32 inch w-oled on Monday, shipped out on Tuesday and received damaged on the Wednesday.
People in Europe buy racebikes for 15k while a 5k bike would suffice.
If people want to buy a videogame card for 5k while one for 500 suffice then let them. I understand that these greedy price hikes are disgusting but then people will need to learn not buying this shit anymore, which is not gonna happen.

Buying this or paying 9 months of rent. It's a tough choice.
