5090s show up at my MC. Not many but they are all $5k+. Currently 2 at mine.
$5k+ for now. Give it another few months - would not surprise me if 5090s are pushing $10,000 by the end of 2026.
Good luck with that.
Sure it's not like AMD won't use that money to fund their AI innovations and thank all of us by following Nvidia to abandon the PC market later.
Just as AMD has made a choice to divert wafers to AI it appears NV is doing the same thing. Better HODL your GPUs until we get some relief from the VRAM companies.
AMD has abandoned the market. Look no further than their discrete GPU market share.
That's not going to happen for a long while. Just because halo cards aren't made anymore doesn't mean gaming GPUs disappear. Not to mention the huge installed base of gaming GPUs out there.

The writing basically said, we prefer customers who give us more money, so basically most every company that exists.
Never been so happy to have bought my 5090 a few months after release at what seemed like crazy pricing then. Never in the history of PC building have I been able to sell (I would never sell tho) my gaming rig for almost double what it cost to build it (thanks to the DDR5 as well).
I purchased a 48GB kit of DDR5 8000 from B&H for $249.99 on October 20, 2023. Today the same kit at the same retailer is $1144.99.
Looking forward to offloading my 5090 in March 2028 for roughly $15,700. Put it toward a $25k 6090 or 6080 Ai
Yeah, I have a pair of Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB 96GB (2 x 48GB) DDR5-6600 that I paid around $384 for around May of 2025... same kit goes for almost $1600 now. Sadly, at one time I considered buying another kit to max things out (although not sure if my setup could have run 4 sticks with such tight timings I am running now), should have bought more of it then...I purchased a 48GB kit of DDR5 8000 from B&H for $249.99 on October 20, 2023.

Oh come on. While I'm not happy about this, let's be real here: Even at retail price, this is a halo product that few people buy. If the 90 series went away forever, gaming would be fine. I like them, but let's not pretend like PC gaming is 5090 or nothing. Realistically, according to Steam, it is 0.38% of users. Most gamers use something considerably cheaper.
Cheapest 5080 at my MC is $1600 so nit as crazy as the 5090 but with the 5090 being halted I wouldn't be surprised if the 5080s will hit $3k.
I doubt they will get as high, the really high 5090 prices weren't so much gamer driven as LLM driven. 32GB is an attractive amount of RAM for that. We had researchers at work who would buy them for that reason. Not going to see as much of that with 16GB.
Yeah, I think some people forget this forum has A LOT of enthusiasts... 5080 and below for a majority of gamers out there is more than fine. If this was not a main hobby of mine I work for, I would not have half the equipment I have...
will be upgraded to 24gb as per the rumours
I don't do charity work. If AMD wants to improve their GPU division, they need to invest in it. AMD doesn't have a product that really challenges the 5070 Ti, they have nothing that matches a 5080, they have nothing remotely close to a 5090 or last generations 4090 cards. AMD simply doesn't have the performance offerings I want. I'm not going to buy an objectively worse GPU on the hopes that AMD will one day make good use of that money.
