Nvidia's RTX 5090 is back in stock at Newegg, with 21 listings, but the cheapest one costs $6,599.
Of those 21 models, 11 are sold and shipped by Newegg itself. Each customer can buy only one. The $6,599 price covers two products: a water-cooled Aorus card and a card sold inside a Gigabyte AI BOX, an external enclosure (an eGPU) that lets a laptop or small PC borrow a desktop graphics card. The cheapest conventional air-cooled option is the Aorus RTX 5090 Master at $6,659.
That Master comes with a free motherboard, as do several other Gigabyte cards. The bundled board is an X870 Aorus Elite WIFI7 for AM5 processors, which the listing values at $319. Newegg sells the same board on its own for $249, so the advertised value is $70 too generous. For a buyer who needs a new AM5 board anyway, the card's effective price drops to about $6,410.
The top end is steeper. An Asus ROG Astral model, sold by a marketplace partner, costs $11,896 and is the only listing above $10,000. Many Asus, MSI and Zotac cards sit just under that line. Even a refurbished Nvidia Founders Edition (Nvidia's own-brand card) is $8,899, which is $2,300 above the $6,599 listings and $2,240 above the Master.
The context is a price that has not settled. The card launched at a sub-$2,000 price, so $6,599 is more than three times that. Rumors that Nvidia was pulling the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 from retail preceded a spike, with prices above $10,000 reportedly becoming common. A single listing over that mark is a modest improvement.
The real change is where people can buy. A major retailer with fast shipping is a different proposition from a scalper's listing, even at these prices. The one-per-customer cap suggests Newegg does not consider this supply abundant, and whether steady restocks pull prices toward the old range is the question these listings cannot answer.
