Nvidia RTX 5090 hits $4,300 as AI demand drives GPU prices up

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Tom's Hardware ·

Asus and MSI premium RTX 5080 and 5090 models now sell for up to $5,000, far above MSRP. The Astral RTX 5080 costs more than the RTX 5090's base price. Price hikes follow sustained AI chip demand and limited supply.

Meridian48 take
The price surge reflects ongoing GPU scarcity driven by AI workloads, not just gaming demand — a trend that may persist as long as Nvidia prioritizes data center chips.
