Brazilian hardware distributor Oderço experienced a significant loss when two pallets containing RTX 5090 GPUs went missing at São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport. The company estimates the value of the stolen shipment to be around US$470,000 (~RM1.91 million), equivalent to approximately 70 Zotac Gaming RTX 5090 GPUs. Oderço's president revealed this incident, stating that it is the first time his company has faced such a situation in its 38-year history.
This heist raises concerns about airport and storage security in Brazil, as the company had previously made requests for information about the missing shipment, only to receive no response. Moreover, the lack of security cameras monitoring the shipment contributes to the suspicious nature of the crime. Oderço decided to go public with the information, highlighting that "two pallets don't just disappear on their own inside an international airport."
With the RTX 5090 initially priced at US$1,999 (~RM8,164) at launch, its current value is estimated to be around RM28,000 due to ongoing memory shortages and AI-related demand. This situation may further fuel rumors of NVIDIA potentially halting the production of its flagship Blackwell consumer GPU in favor of the RTX Pro Series, which NVIDIA later denied.
