The GeForce RTX 5090 isn't a "gaming GPU" if AI companies are buying them by the pallet

These are the very same MSI and Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 cards you'll find at Newegg for way over their original $1,999 MSRP, and while that inflated price tag absolutely deters even premium rig builders, over $5,000 seems to work just fine for the ravenous AI scene. Nvidia wants $16,000 for an RTX 6000 Pro, and while the latter packs 96GB of VRAM, many companies scrambling to make servers can make do with 32GB. You're still talking over $1,000 for one of those at Newegg, so it now feels like the premium end of 4K gaming is ringfenced for non-gaming purposes.
