The most premium GeForce RTX 5090 has been officially priced at $5090, but you will have to enter a draw to win the chance to purchase it from MSI's website. However, many Indian retailers have started listing it for direct purchase.
MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z Officially Priced at $5090; MSI Starts Open Draw, but Several Indian Retailers List it at $9000-$9700
I am finally at peace seeing the RTX 5090 now costs $5090, but it's the most premium edition ever made. The MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z, which has been officially listed on the MSI store, costs $5090 as per the MSI website, but you can't just go and buy it from the store. Unlike other editions, the RTX 5090 Lightning Z is a limited edition, and there are only 1,300 units made globally. 100 of those have been located in Taiwan, and all of them are available for purchase once users win the lottery.
Even on the official MSI website, users have to enter the open draw to win a chance to purchase the GPU. Users will still need to pay the full price to have it, but if you reside in India, you can purchase it directly from the popular hardware stores. We spotted multiple listings for the GPU on major Indian retailers such, but the price starts at a whopping $9,000. Yeah, it's over 9000 already! But you will be able to get it without having to enter a lucky draw.
This is the lowest price for the GPU, and at Computer Tech Store, users can purchase it for INR 819,999, which translates to around US$9053. The GPU is also currently in stock, but it is going to be extremely rare to find more than a few in inventory. Every retailer is likely going to have a couple of cards, considering there aren't many units made. Then we have PC Hub Shop, which has listed the GPU at INR 869,999, which comes out to nearly US$9605. This one is also currently in stock.
The third one is the popular MD Computers store, which has listed it for INR 875,300 or US$9665, and here too, users can buy it at the moment. The fourth one is Elite Hubs, which has also listed it for US$9665, but unfortunately, it isn't in stock. All in all, the RTX 5090 Lightning Z was already way over the MSRP for the FE edition and the ones listed on these retailers are nearly 4-5X more expensive.
