   Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Prices Reach $2,000 Amid Scarce Stock

   Tom’s Hardware reports that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080’s lowest cited in-stock price at a reputable online seller reached $1,999 through Best Buy, while other listings reached $2,299.99 and $2,983.23. Availability was limited, with most online stock offered by third-party sellers and local pickup at Best Buy restricted to one or two units. The article also links AI-driven prioritization of high-margin data-center products to reduced attention and memory allocation for consumer GPUs.

   RTX 5090 vanishes from Nvidia's marketplace as GB202 chips reportedly go to AI cards

   TechRadar reports that Nvidia's own GPU marketplace no longer lists the RTX 5090, with the RTX 5080 now the highest-end card shown there, and that Micro Center is reportedly listing the flagship as "not carried"; major US retailers are said to have no stock, with third-party sellers near $10,000. The piece cites an unverified leaker claim that Nvidia is diverting all GB202 chips to AI-oriented RTX Pro boards, and argues the company is deprioritizing GeForce hardware in favour of AI demand and cloud gaming. Nvidia has announced no discontinuation, and the article notes the RTX 5090 is still mentioned elsewhere on its site, so the effective-discontinuation framing is the author's inference.
