Demand for Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards is so strong that a retailer is selling a faulty version of the GPU with missing ROPs, and still charging an astronomical price for it. A Zotac GeForce RTX 5090 Solid OC is currently listed as B-Stock at German etailer Alternate, with the listing clearly stating that the GPU doesn’t have all of its render outputs (ROPs) enabled, but the price is still €2,899, which works out at $2,625 once you remove VAT and perform a straight currency conversion.
While the RTX 5090 offers incredible gaming performance, making it the best graphics card you can buy right now, this Nvidia GPU’s MSRP is already high at $1,999, and the more realistic price is much higher. The fact that a Zotac card with missing ROPs is knowingly being sold for $2,625 just shows how little supply of the new cards is available to meet demand right now.
