WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE

Data centers. That’s the reason. Fuckass AI companies are swallowing up all the processing chips, so consumer parts balloon in price.

Not just in US but in China, Chinese ai
company can’t legally buy it, and their domestic chip underperform by a large margin compare to Nvidia.

They also just announced like last week that they are not making any more 5090’s so your choices are to buy one of the last few new ones at inflated prices or buy used for a little less. Next closest card is the 5080 which is maybe 2/3rds of the power. Still costs almost 2k.

Can only use one at a time. I bought a 5090 may of last year for 2800. It was pricey but worth it. Not sure I would buy one at current prices
