  "account": "The RTX 5090 high-end GPU is vanishing from US online retailers, leaving few options for consumers. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and major US stores have sold out of the card, with third-party sellers demanding prices far above the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). Despite Nvidia's dominant market share of 90%, the scarcity of RTX 5090s is likely due to increased demand from AI firms and other professional applications, as evidenced by recent research showing a 12.5 million shipment increase for high-end graphics cards in the last quarter. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's statement about using 100,000 GPUs for OpenAI's latest model, GPT-6 Astra, suggests that the lack of available RTX 5090s may not be solely attributed to its use in training the model. However, some speculate that other AI companies may be purchasing these high-end cards for their server PCs instead of datacenter accelerators or RTX Pro 6000 GPUs, leading to a shortage in the gaming market.",
