Great news for PC enthusiasts! Nvidia’s top-tier GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is finally available at its original, recommended retail price. Walmart is currently offering the PNY GeForce RTX 5090 OC 32GB model for just $1,999.00, complete with free delivery. This isn’t from a third-party seller; it’s directly from Walmart. Initially, the RTX 5090 GPU was notoriously overpriced, with costs skyrocketing to as much as $3,500 after its launch. While prices have gradually decreased, often hovering between $2,200 and $2,500 recently, securing one at its true MSRP has remained a rare find until now.
Score the PNY GeForce RTX 5090 32GB OC at a Steal!
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 stands as the undisputed champion among consumer GPUs. While Nvidia focused heavily on software enhancements, advanced AI capabilities, and groundbreaking DLSS 4 technology this generation to boost gaming performance, the 5090 still delivers a remarkable 25-30% boost in raw hardware raster performance compared to the RTX 4090. For serious gamers seeking unparalleled performance, this card truly offers the ultimate experience.
Beyond gaming, the RTX 5090 is an exceptional choice for AI development and other demanding professional tasks, particularly for those who don’t want to invest in a specialized workstation graphics card. It boasts a staggering 32GB of VRAM, making it the consumer card with the largest memory capacity available. In contrast, the RTX 4090 features 24GB of older GDDR6 VRAM, and the RTX 5080 comes with even less at 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. While dedicated Nvidia workstation cards offer more memory, their exorbitant multi-thousand-dollar price tags make them impractical for most users, especially gamers.
From the Critics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review
Jackie Thomas notes in their review: “The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially taken the performance crown from the RTX 4090, but with less force than previous generations. When it comes to traditional non-AI gaming performance, the RTX 5090 provides one of the smallest generational uplifts in recent memory. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 really does deliver huge performance gains – you just have to make your peace with the fact that 75% of the frames are generated with AI.”
