The RTX 5090 Vanished. AI Did It.

Nvidia's most powerful gaming card disappeared from Nvidia's own store, and one listing on Amazon hit almost $9,000. Nvidia says it isn't discontinued. So where did it go? Follow the chip and follow the money: the same GB202 chip sells for $1,999 as a gaming card or $16,000 as an AI card, AI is 92.5% of Nvidia's revenue, RAM is up 500% in a year, and consoles cost more five years after launch.
