Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is exceptionally powerful but forbiddingly expensive. (You could build a complete RTX 5080-based gaming PC for the money.) But this top-tier GPU lives on a whole other planet of performance.

The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer GPU ever made, but its $2,000 price tag makes it a luxury for only the most demanding users.

Some gamers are already camping out during one of the coldest times in the year to get their hands on a $2,000 graphics card.
