Summary
Nvidia’s latest GPU launch had PC gamers talking about a “paper launch” after limited quantities seemed to sell out instantly, but as PC World and Tom’s Hardware point out, there is one place you can grab a 5080 or 5090: this week’s GTC 2025 Conference.
Other than news about various AI projects, Nvidia is selling 1,000 of each variant for the standard price from its Gear Store Mobile Truck at spontaneous times... but only for attendees who may have already paid as much as $1,145 for a one-day conference pass.
