Graphics card dealers are cashing in on a rare GPU that NVIDIA pulled from Chinese shelves due to trade restrictions. The RTX 5090D has surfaced on eBay with price tags reaching $6,000, making it one of the planet's most expensive gaming cards. Resellers are targeting collectors who want the discontinued Chinese-market variant that NVIDIA stopped shipping after new US export policies took effect. The GALAX Hall of Fame OC LAB edition commands the highest prices among desperate buyers willing to pay double what a regular RTX 5090 costs. NVIDIA plans to release an updated RTX 5090D V2 model to replace the banned version in China.
The astronomical pricing seems absurd when compared to standard RTX 5090 cards that retail for $2,500 to...
