The most powerful of Nvidia's newest Blackwell graphics cards is a " beast ." Review after review has brought up benchmarks showcasing that when it comes to gaming, the RTX 5090 blows its predecessors and other graphics cards away. However, it appears that for many consumers, the RTX 5090 is overkill.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 starts at $1,999 before you factor in upsells from the company's partners or price increases driven by scalpers and/or genuine demand. It costs more than my entire gaming PC.

MSI shared that the release of its GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards on January 30, 2025, is expected to encounter supply shortages. The launch date coincides with the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is one of the most powerful (and expensive) graphics cards ever, and uses AI to further enhance its gaming performance.
