The best graphics cards don’t always have to be expensive. Unfortunately, in today’s market, even buying them at MSRP feels like a good deal. It was already a rare sight to see someone purchase a GeForce RTX 5090 below MSRP at Walmart, but there have been two instances in a short period of time. The stars must have aligned for the two fortunate Redditors.
Two days prior, Redditor NestyHowk showcased the acquisition of a GeForce RTX 5090, priced at $1,399.99, which is $600 or 30% below the MSRP, sparking envy within the PCMR Reddit community. Nonetheless, today, DCole1847 has surpassed this achievement. Evidently, the hardware deities appear to favor the former, as the user recently acquired a GeForce RTX 5090 for $1,119.99, representing a reduction of $880, or 44% below the MSRP.
MSRP, particularly for Nvidia’s current GeForce RTX 50 (codenamed Blackwell) series, is almost irrelevant. Even during special promotional occasions, such as Amazon Prime Day, it is nearly impossible to acquire Blackwell products at a price below the MSRP. However, based on the photographs of the two Reddit users, we may have a slight idea of where you could find a GeForce RTX 5090 at a reasonable price.

The yellow stickers unmistakably originate from Walmart, specifically items marked with “reduced” that are part of a discounted sale at the store. Items bearing such reductions typically sell for a slightly lower price due to reasons such as returns or packaging imperfections. Consequently, this does not constitute a clearance sale. “I tell my girlfriend to check the clearance aisle at every store she goes to and to send me a photo of anything that looks like a computer part,” the jubilant shopper revealed.
