Do you think the RTX 5090 is actually gonna see a significant price cut by Black Friday 2026? I'm trying to map out a budget for my 2,400 sq ft home’s new media room—I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem but need a beastly Windows rig for 8K VR—and the GPU cost is the biggest hurdle. I've been looking at historical data on the 4090 and most forum regulars say flagships rarely drop more than $100, but I also read a rumor that Nvidia might overproduce these to compete with upcoming AI chips. I'm pretty comfortable with high-end builds, but I don't want to overpay if a 20% discount is likely. Is it even worth waiting or do these top-tier cards just sell out anyway? I almost forgot to check if the power requirements mean I'll need a whole new circuit...

tbh expecting a 20% cut on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition is kinda dreaming lol. nvidias top cards NEVER drop that much.
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition: crazy performance but supply is always tight.
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 24GB: look at the history, it barely budged even after years.
- MSI Suprim X RTX 5090: AIBs might have tiny deals but nothing HUGE. anyway, bottom line is they just sell out.

> I almost forgot to check if the power requirements mean I'll need a whole new circuit... this comes up a lot and ngl you should probably just call an electrician now. if youre pushing 8K VR with something like the ASUS ROG Strix RTX 5090, that card plus a high-end CPU will spike like CRAZY. dont wait for a price cut that isnt coming... just budget for a Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 ATX 3.0 and the extra wiring. flagships stay expensive until they're replaced...
