Nvidia's RTX 5090 disappears from US site

Nvidia's most powerful gaming graphics card, the RTX 5090, is no longer listed on the company's American website. This has made it difficult for American gamers to find new units of the card, which is still available in Europe but at significantly higher prices.

RTX 5090 prices surge in Europe

In Europe, the RTX 5090's price has nearly doubled since January 2026. The reference price was 3,400 euros at that time, but current listings show prices starting at 6,700 euros, with some units selling for up to 10,000 euros. The card's original launch price was much lower, at 2,099 euros for the standard version and 2,349 euros for the Founders Edition.

Nvidia partners stop delivering RTX 5090

German media reported that several of Nvidia's partners have confirmed they are no longer receiving the GB202 GPU, which is used in the RTX 5090. This suggests that manufacturers like Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte can no longer produce new units and must rely on existing inventory. Rumors suggest that future GB202 chips may be used for professional cards instead of gaming cards.

Professional card may replace RTX 5090

The RTX Pro 5500, a professional card with similar performance to the RTX 5090 but with more memory, is already available at a high price. The RTX Pro 5500 has 84 GB of GDDR7-ECC memory compared to the 32 GB in the gaming card. This shift may indicate that Nvidia is prioritizing professional and AI-focused hardware over consumer gaming cards.

Rumors of a new top-tier gaming card

Rumors suggest that the RTX 5080, with 24 GB of memory, may become the new top-tier gaming card in 2027. However, these details are unconfirmed, and the release schedule for this card is unclear. The RTX 5080 is currently the most powerful gaming card on Nvidia's American marketplace, but it is much less expensive than the RTX 5090.
