Are you ready to fork out a hefty sum for a trendy food truck snack? Well, how about shelling out over a thousand dollars for something you can’t even eat? Welcome to Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC), where the world’s leading graphics card manufacturer is selling its coveted RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards from a unique pop-up "food truck" stall.
- Limited Edition Cards: Nvidia’s RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards are nearly impossible to find in the market. To add to the exclusivity, these sought-after cards are only available for purchase by GTC attendees. And don’t think that getting a ticket to the conference will give you any discounts on these high-end cards. In fact, attendees are already splurging over a thousand dollars for the privilege of attending the event.
- Limited Availability: With just a handful of these rare cards in stock, Nvidia is selling them in small batches at random intervals. According to reports, there are only 1,000 units each of the RTX 5080 and 5090 available for sale. If you’re lucky, you might stumble upon a sale where they are selling a limited quantity for a short period.
- Exclusive Event: While GTC primarily showcases AI and industrial products, the sale of these graphics cards is attracting a specific clientele. Most of the buyers are developers or individuals who have specialized use cases for these powerful cards beyond just gaming. However, given the limited availability and high demand for these cards, it wouldn’t be surprising if some of them end up on resale platforms like eBay or Craigslist shortly after the show.
As GTC unfolds today and tomorrow, enthusiasts and developers alike are keeping an eye out for these elusive graphics cards. Whether you’re in it for the cutting-edge technology or looking to make a lucrative investment, Nvidia’s unique approach to selling its high-performance GPUs has certainly stirred up excitement in the tech community. Who knows, maybe snagging one of these cards could just fund your way back home in style.
