Walmart’s GeForce Week promotion briefly offered MSI’s GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC for $4,299.99, and the high-end graphics card quickly went out of stock. The retailer’s product page showed that 10,000 shoppers had added the card to their carts before it sold out, underscoring the demand for Nvidia’s flagship GPU despite its steep price.
Key takeaways
- The MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC sold for $4,299.99 during Walmart’s GeForce Week event.
- Walmart’s page showed the card in 10,000 shoppers’ carts before inventory ran out; that figure does not indicate how many completed purchases.
- The price was $2,300.99 above Nvidia’s $1,999 launch MSRP, but lower than many reported current listings.
A rare retail listing for a premium GPU
The RTX 5090 deal stood out because the card has become difficult to find at retail. At $4,299.99, Walmart’s offer was still about 115% above Nvidia’s launch MSRP, but reports described it as substantially below prices commonly seen from other sellers. The listing is now out of stock, and no restock details were provided.
The listing was part of Walmart’s GeForce Week promotion. VideoCardz also reported that RTX 5080 gaming PCs priced at $2,299 in the event sold out quickly, suggesting interest extended beyond the standalone flagship card.
MSI card specifications
The MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G Gaming Trio OC includes 32GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit interface and 21,760 CUDA cores. MSI lists a 2,482 MHz boost clock and 575W power consumption. The triple-fan Gaming Trio cooler is designed to manage the card’s substantial thermal load.
Nvidia positions the RTX 5090 as its top gaming GPU, while its large memory capacity and processing performance also make it relevant to local AI workloads such as inference and image generation. Buyers considering a system upgrade should account for the card’s power requirements and use a suitable power supply and quality 12V-2×6 cable.
Demand meets limited availability
The 10,000-cart figure offers a snapshot of shopper interest, not a confirmed sales count. Still, the quick sellout reflects the challenge facing buyers who want a high-end GPU at a price below the most expensive available listings. For PC builders, the deal was notable for its availability through a major retailer, even though its price remained far above Nvidia’s stated MSRP.
