A player has finally gotten engaged and gifted his girlfriend a ring. Since he doesn’t want a ring for himself, his fiancée thought of something else: she gifts him an expensive RTX 5090.
A player explained on Reddit that he has finally gotten engaged to his girlfriend. To celebrate the occasion, he bought her an engagement ring. However, when his girlfriend wanted to give him a ring as well, he explained that he only wanted a plastic ring because he wasn’t really into gold.
In the end, she decided to gift him an RTX 5090. The RTX 5090 is one of the best graphics cards you can buy. The user stated that they checked various providers multiple times a day to find the best price. In the end, they decided on a hardware bundle priced at $2,999, which is around 2,700 euros.
Does his fiancée also play on PC? He explained in another post that he can’t really convince his future wife to get into gaming. After all, she occasionally plays “Sims.” But at least she respects his interest in computer hardware. Maybe that’s why she also gifted him an expensive graphics card (via Reddit.com):
It would be nice! I can get her to play Sims, and that’s about it. She respects my love for computer parts.
RTX 5090 is more expensive than ever and barely available, AMD is faring better
What are the prices for an RTX 5090 like? If you look at price comparison portals like Geizhals.de, prices for an RTX 5090 start at 2,700 euros and quickly go significantly over 3,000 euros. Nvidia continues to face the issue that demand is very high, but they is unable to meet that demand. Nvidia has now lowered prices for the 5000 series, but this price drop is likely to have reached very few buyers and players.
Many now fear that with the US trade war, prices could rise significantly again since many components are produced in Asia.
What about the competition? Things are looking a bit better at AMD right now. In early March, they released new graphics cards with the RX 9070 (XT), which are among the best GPUs you can buy in 2025. There is now reasonable availability and prices are getting closer to the MSRP again.
Another player bought his RTX 5090 himself and tried to deceive his wife. But she suspected that her husband was lying and checked his claims using AI. And the AI quickly exposed his lie about the “cheap” graphics card: A player tells his wife that he bought an RTX 5090 cheaply – his wife doesn’t believe him, asks ChatGPT, and exposes him
