Nvidia returns to selling Founder's Edition RTX 50-series GPUs at MSRP in person at PAX West — Verified Priority Access has RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 at list price
Nvidia is offering its RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Founder's Edition models at MSRP at PAX West.
Nvidia has returned to selling its Founder's Edition RTX 50-series GPUs at their Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) during PAX West at the Seattle Convention Center. The models available are RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070, while supplies last. Nvidia's GeForce Evangelist, Jacob Freeman, encouraged gamers to find him if they are looking for these GPUs.
The launch of this event follows a sharp increase in the prices of Nvidia's highest-end graphics cards, with the RTX 5090 regularly listed for above $5,000. The increase in prices has been particularly notable for the RTX 5090, which has continued to rise even after an earlier hike. Despite not having a booth at PAX West 2026, many of Nvidia's partners, including Starforge Systems, Razer, and Lenovo, do have booths. Freeman announced that he would be posting updates on X on where and when attendees can find him.
