The RTX 5090 is already out of reach for us mere PC gaming mortals, but board prices could make it a mythical beast
The upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is expected to be prohibitively expensive for PC gamers due to rising component costs, particularly for GDDR7 memory. Board prices are projected to increase significantly, potentially making the card a 'mythical beast' for consumers. This trend, exacerbated by AI data center demand, is driving up prices across the PC hardware market, leading to recommendations for more budget-friendly options like the GeForce RTX 5070.
