Nvidia sells RTX 50-series GPUs at MSRP during QuakeCon 2026 — graphics cards sold at launch prices more than a year after release are now considered an attraction
The Nvidia booth at QuakeCon 2026 is offering Founders Edition GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 GPUs at MSRP. Supplies are limited, though, so you should head out ASAP if you want to snag one right now.
Nvidia is selling its RTX 50-series GPUs at their original launch prices at the QuakeCon 2026 event in Texas. The company announced the RTX 50-series in Las Vegas at CES 2025, with the RTX 5090 priced at $1,999, the RTX 5080 at $999, the RTX 5070 Ti at $749, and the RTX 5070 at $549. However, due to limited supplies and a memory shortage, these GPUs have since become quite expensive, with the RTX 5090 currently priced at $4,381 on Tom’s Hardware’s GPU price tracker.
Despite this, Nvidia is offering Verified Priority Access IRL at the QuakeCon event, allowing attendees to purchase Founders Edition GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 GPUs at MSRP while supplies last.
