The median EU retail price of an RTX 5090 rose from €5,900 to €7,730 between 19 September and 19 October 2026 — a +31% move across about 20 tracked EU shops. On a fixed 11-card basket, the price index is up 84% since 25 May, with roughly 10% in the last week alone.
I hope you’re right because as someone who was insane enough to pay $1800 for a 4090 at launch, I intend on this card lasting me until at least the late 2030s. It was already $1000 more than what I’d consider reasonable for a high end GPU; no way am I paying $5K+ for a 50/60/70/8090.
