Cheapest 5090 ever? Lucky PC builder finds RTX 5090 for ‘just’ $1,679 at Walmart, saving $1,520 — card has worked ‘flawlessly’ ever since

In the ever-evolving world of insane GPU prices, tariffs, and frightful stock shortages, one intrepid PC builder has managed to swipe an Nvidia RTX 5090 from Walmart for “just” $1,679, more than $200 below MSRP.

Redditor Sufficient_Crazy7758 took to the platform to hail their purchase of the “Cheapest 5090 ever?”, after scooping a PNY GeForce RTX 5090 from Walmart for the relatively low price of $1,679.99.
