Not sure who is correct. But I have already answered on this in my older post above.... I stand with that..... The main reason there is almost no 5090's... They all go into China as AI accelerators. Ordered and paid for before they live the factories. With, love from Nvidia. Nvidia reportedly insists the RTX 5090 isn't dead despite severe shortages and removed listings at multiple retailers — flagship GPU is missing from Nvidia's store and commands $8,500 on Amazon The claim that the card isn't gone after all merits some spot-checking, so we did a cursory browse of the common retailers. 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. “The supply chain (production capacity) is indeed somewhat constrained, but NVIDIA is doing everything it can to bring products to market. Although there are other variants of the RTX 5090 chip, it has certainly not been discontinued. NVIDIA will continue shipping it. This is very important.” — Jeff Fisher, NVIDIA Senior Vice Presiden—...

Better with a keyboard PC? Only $3000-$4000 USD. A complete PC inside a keyboard. Prices reach $4,191 in the US🥴 HP launches keyboard PC with Ryzen AI 400 inside, price nearly doubles over 300 series model to $3,000-$4,000

Here's the review of MSI's flagship chassis. Only $700 USD. Quality equal a $35 cheapo box from China. Expect the same for your Gigabyte 5090. They really like to use their famous red arrow stickers everywhere.

No need for retail channels. And many of the 5090's will never be listed for sale in any shops. They are already sold before they leave the factories. The grey market is huge in Asia. Chinese AI companies buy 1 million Nvidia gaming and workstation GPUs in a single year, report claims — export control-compliant chips flood the market to bridge gap in compute demand China is purportedly turning to Nvidia's gaming and workstation processors, which are compliant with U.S. export controls, repurposing them for AI. According to FT, the chips are "mostly" Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D, RTX Pro 5000, and the RTX 5090, the latter of which is the best graphics card on the market for enthusiast gaming. Prices for 5090 has now exploded upwards here in Norway. Still no problem get one here but you pay $6400 (MSRP) for regardless model. 6 different models ready to ship and buy but they are priced equal whatsoever. Pick your poison. I expect all these will go as workstation cards. No gamer will buy them outside a few rare stupids. Nvidia GPU prices spike in Japan; prices up to 41% higher than Amazon US — RTX 5060 Ti sees the biggest increase among the RTX 50-series stack Yup, NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti hits nearly $775. That's higher prices than RTX 3080 when released. For xx60 class cards. _________________________________________________________________________________ Hmmm. Intel saved by the big bLLC cache. Nova Lake ain't faster than the current Arrow Lake failure for gaming. That's not a good sign. What with games that don't rely so much on the big cache? Hmmm, not even on level with current gen vanilla Ryzen chips from last year. Nova Lake-S could encounter the same problem: cores waiting for data that ruin gaming performance. Intel Nova Lake would perform similarly to Arrow Lake in games: the bLLC versions would seek to justify the generational leap A new architecture can bring more powerful cores, even higher IPC or frequencies, and still deliver virtually the same FPS. How can this be realistic? It's difficult to square the circle, but that's the possibility that kopite7kimi has just put forward for Intel Nova Lake-S , claiming that its conventional versions would offer gaming performance quite similar to that of Arrow Lake-S

The RTX 5090 is Already an RTX Pro GPU... The last and final true real high end gaming card was the RTX 4090. And you won't see similar again. And be careful with your 5090 card. If it breaks, you're left with an overpriced 5080 as your only alternative if gaming is what you use it for.... Because thats the only card you can afford or can buy. The 4 year old 4090 is close to $3000 in the used market. So not an option. Yup, there you have it. The 4090 was a great deal in the days🙂 I still have my 4090 HOF, and it’s going to stay in my possession. As well a great backup card for my 5090 if the worst happens. You never know with new modern tech (fragile, cost cuttings and all too expensive).

The PC market is sinking: shipments fall 20.1%; HP and Dell lose a third of their business The PC market has suffered a sharp decline in sales during the third quarter of 2026, reflecting the damage that AI and rising prices are doing to the industry.

Could be. But xx90s will still flood the Chinese market. Nvidia's only chance to sell high end chips to china. They won't stop sale of chips. Only stop selling to consumers/gamers. And for the records.... XX90 as they are now is dead. Probably back to xx80Ti's with much less cuda cores for "High end" Gaming. And same for memory. Want the best then you'll pay for the PRO. May I smell a xx80Ti coming?🤐 NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang receives National Medal of Science for turning gaming GPUs into AI powerhouses Nice. People will get nothing. Not even jobs. Only higher eletricity bills. I hope they find a job that can pay their bills..... Senate probe accuses Big Tech of misleading public on AI data centers — massive 100 MW sites create only 100 jobs while securing lucrative GPU tax breaks

I have already seen it. And Vince aready advertising hard for the BTF connector. Probably the next big thing for next gen 2 dim OC board from Asus. I just love proprietary solutions. Hell; yeah what I hate Dell and cApple. There is also a chance Asus will enter the list of shame.

US Senate kills bill that could potentially shield Americans from skyrocketing power bills due to AI data centers — opponents say bill is 'toothless' and doesn't do enough to protect citizens Meanwhile, local communities continue to push back against data centers over several issues, including electricity bill hikes. Some states are already taking steps to address the hikes.

This is like using a cannon to shoot birds. It isn't going to work. The corruption and greed will find it's own way to make profits. And we both know it. You should go after the big birds instead; that way, the problem becomes maybe smaller. Whether or not one shows ID shouldn't be the deciding factor in solving the problem. In my case, it backfire. It’s a matter of principle. I will never accept this as a solution—regardless of whether I show/use ID for payment or not. Nope, I won't accept this as a sloooopy fix. This is moreb a practice/more common you see from China... Not from the free world. People shoud start stop buy expencive PSUs with 3.1 5gen PCIe connectors. And they often come with only 3-5 8 pin-connectors. You can't use that if you want to be safe with modern tech.... Not enough connectors. You are probably safer with your old PSUs with enough 8-pin connectors😀 New is newer... Not always better. The modern 5 gen tiny trash connector can be worthless. Pay several hundred dollars in premium and it will only be a drawback $5,245 prebuilt RTX 5090 PC's connectors melt after sitting boxed for a year Everyone points at someone else. Exactly as predicted. xx60 series are replaced by the more expensive xx70 series. Will they dare to push for xx80 series next time? Or do they need more time? The RTX 5070 becomes the most popular GPU in Steam's September 2026 hardware survey

Nice to see you back bro Vasu. And yep, desktop all the way. Modern Jokebooks is just a bigger tablet with KB😀 Today's joke. Smuggling by now will be fixed. Just handle over your ID. And will MC ban you from their store if you sell your old hardware (to friends) outside US now?🧐 Nice seeing the retail follow up the governments chips ban, and stop the smuggling of nvidia chips (sarcasm). China will get needed chips anyway. So in the end, the random US customer is the one dealing with ID checks and export declarations at the checkout. Meanwhile, the larger export operations these rules are supposed to address have already found cheaper and more efficient ways around them. Micro Center now requires RTX 5090 buyers to show ID and sign no-export declaration

Thanks brothers🙂 Asus just increased the prices again on their US store... Vanilla 5090 Astral is now close to $5500. If you can find one at MSRP in the US. https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/all-series/filter?Category=NVIDIA&Spec=354488 5,999 euros = $6,746,78 USD The price of the GeForce RTX 5090 only knows one direction. At the beginning of September, the GeForce RTX 5090 exceeded the price mark of 5,000 euros...

Thanks for asking bro🙂 More like status quo. But something good has it been the last week... I got my driving license back after 4 months . But only for two years due the risk for new strokes. Then I need to pay yet another $150 USD for a new prolonged period of two years. This if I once again can manage all the tests to keep the driving license. Some part of the brain is gone, thats the reality of getting stroke. You can compensate with other parts of the brain when some parts fall out. But within some limits. It's what it is. I try as best I can everyday. Not bad but it could be much better. But who know how it goes. The risk for new stroke is still high within the next 5 years😑 RTX 5080 with two old 8-pin connectors instead of 12V-2×6: Ronaldo's experiment or how much connector drama could NVIDIA have avoided? Former EVGA manager says NVIDIA pricing rules forced some GeForce cards to be sold at a loss Yup, the well known yellow-tip disaster strikes again...

Windows 10 exposes Windows 11: nine months of updates reveal more flaws in the OS Microsoft wants you to use Microsoft has a rather worrying problem with Windows 11, one it hasn't quite resolved, at least if it wants to convince us to switch operating systems. The first thing they should be looking at in Redmond is ensuring their updates inspire confidence, and the 2026 update history certainly doesn't help matters. A review of the patches released between January and September of this year shows Windows 10 ahead in stability compared to Windows 11 in 2026, with fewer documented issues than its successor. The system that should justify the upgrade is giving us too many reasons to stay put.

Does this mean this below is a steal? There is buyers out there, no doubt. But for $6000 and above? Not ordinary buyers for sure. 5090 is someone's only chance to get close to a "real" AI/workstation cards below $10K🙄 10,000 Walmart shoppers added a $4,299 RTX 5090 to their cart before it sold out The GPU Madness Has Come to This: 9070 XT vs. 5060 Ti 16GB GPU Pricing Has Turned a Ridiculous Comparison Into a Real Buying Decision As I understand it, and please note that I am far from an expert on this AI stuff, there is significantly greater demand for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB than the Radeon RX 9070 XT among users running AI workloads locally. And the US introduced chip ban is a joke... Nvidia knows it very well. They have no intention to guide their AIC partners what they should or not. DeepSeek is devouring RTX 5090s for AI in China: stock is disappearing and prices are skyrocketing across the market Buying an NVIDIA RTX 5090 is becoming a virtually impossible mission, and the problem is no longer just gamers looking for the fastest gaming graphics card on the market. DeepSeek has turned NVIDIA's consumer GPUs into... Herein lies the problem. US restrictions have limited China's access to NVIDIA's most powerful accelerators, while DeepSeek R1 is heavily optimized for NVIDIA hardware and software . When you can't buy enough accelerators specifically designed for AI, the next option is fairly obvious: look to gaming GPUs. AMD denies direct sales of restricted chips to China after Dylan Patel calls for an investigation into the company for "treason" AMD denies direct supply and points to diversions by third parties Yup, you really need the two layer warranty claim protection on MSI cards... Because their yellow fire cracker is doomed to fail. And how easy is it for people ta ask for new 4 headed dongle from MSI if you see problems (when you see or measure uneven pin load) before they turn into the usual brown and black? Or do you need to use the yellow pig until it melts before they will send you working replacements? Hmmmm, fun times dealing with modern/cutting edge tech🤮 I think you should be safe at least with Asus. Nine brands responded on whether it’s better to use a native 12V-2×6 cable or the bundled GPU adapter Recommend the bundled adapter (the cable that ships with the graphics card) ASUS: “The included GPU adaptor is recommended for the best usage experience…” MSI: “MSI officially recommend using the adaptor provided with the graphics card.” GIGABYTE: “We strongly recommend using the original cable... RTX 5090 12V-2×6 connector reaches 91.7°C with DLSS 5, 16-pin input peaks at 647W

This is nice... Double trouble and stupidity on top. What a combo. All PNY GPUs that require a 16-pin (12VHPWR / 12V-2x6) input include a PNY-approved power cable or adapter in the box. This cable is the only configuration covered under warranty. If a third-party power cable, adapter, or PSU cable is used and damage occurs - including melting, burning, overheating, or deformation of the connector - PNY cannot accept the product under warranty. Damage caused by non-PNY cables falls under the responsibility of the manufacturer of that cable or power supply.

HP and Lenovo laptops are the latest victims of a Windows 11 update Microsoft's August update (KB5121003) is reportedly corrupting BIOS on HP laptops and disabling AC charging on Lenovo laptops.

What you last expected from your damn expensive adventure... Screwed by bad design. Or is it a new joke by AI? Nope, it's due greed. To cut on costs. "Printed with ink" onto the bracket's surface rather than etched for better durability. For comparison, the last-generation GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition had its serial number laser-etched onto the metal bracket. "Cost reduction!" is the most plausible explanation for the switch from laser etching to ink printing, as laser engraving equipment and process time add manufacturing cost per unit that ink printing avoid. RTX 5090 Owner Says NVIDIA Refused His RMA After Faded Serial Number, As More Redditors Report The Same GPU Defect News Source: Reddit Stupid engineering.....

Todays joke. Asus is the goat, LOL Asus' ludicrous 20th anniversary bundle is now the cheapest way to buy an RTX 5090 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Prices Blow Through the Roof, Now Starting at Over $6000 & Going Beyond $9000 While Chinese AI Firms Continue to Gobble Up Gaming Cards in Bulk

Still 5090's here home.... But the stocks are tightening up. The real scalpers is back. $5000 USD ain't enough. Far from enough🙄 Nvidia's RTX 5090 vanishes from online retail in the US Gaming takes a backseat as Nvidia overhauls the RTX 5090 for maximum AI margins The RTX Pro 5500 features the GB202 silicon, the powerhouse die that powers other high-end mainstream and professional Blackwell graphics cards, including the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX Pro 6000, and RTX Pro 5000. In fact, the RTX Pro 5500 uses the same die as the GeForce RTX 5090, which means 170 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) are enabled out of a possible 192. As a result, the RTX Pro 5500 has 21,760 CUDA cores and offers performance comparable to the GeForce RTX 5090.

Here’s why RTX 5090 costs $5,000: AI firms are buying gaming GPUs by the pallet The images show pallets filled with brand-new retail gaming cards waiting to be removed from their boxes and installed into multi-GPU systems. These are not RTX PRO 6000 cards or dedicated data center accelerators. They are GeForce RTX 5090 cards, the same products NVIDIA sells and markets to PC..... At the end of the day, the RTX 5090 is no longer a gaming card. And this one looks very bad...
