Nvidia Corp.'s NVDA GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards have sold out almost immediately after their release. However, gaming enthusiasts can still acquire these powerful GPUs through high-end prebuilt gaming PCs.
What Happened: The GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards are nearly impossible to find due to limited availability. As a result, enthusiasts are turning to prebuilt gaming PCs to get their hands on these coveted GPUs.
These prebuilt systems, available on platforms like Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, come at a premium price.
For instance, a Sentinel gaming desktop featuring the RTX 5090 is priced at $5,599.99. It includes an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor, 64GB of DDR5 memory, and a 2TB SSD, among other high-end components.
For those considering the RTX 5080, prices are somewhat lower. A Skytech Azure gaming desktop with the RTX 5080 is listed at $2,699.99. This setup includes an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and a 2TB SSD.
While these systems are not discounted, they offer a way to access NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell GPU architecture without waiting for standalone cards to become available.
However, potential buyers should be prepared to pay a significant premium for immediate access.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that the scarcity of RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards has led to scalpers inflating prices to as much as $6,000, further exacerbating the frustration among gamers.
Nvidia is set to announce its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 26. In the last quarter, the company reported $35.1 billion in revenue, reflecting a 94% year-over-year increase and exceeding Wall Street’s forecast of $33.12 billion.
