Want to Buy Nvidia’s Graphics Cards at MSRP? Head On Down to Grapevine, Texas
The prices of Nvidia’s RTX 50-series graphics cards have gotten so out of hand that you may need to spend close to $5,000 if you want to buy a top-end RTX 5090 GPU. QuakeCon is hosted by ZeniMax, normally to promote recent games from id Software—in this case, the expansion pack to Doom: The Dark Ages, called Revelations—as well as other recent titles from Bethesda and ZeniMax Media. For Nvidia, it’s a chance to allow some lucky people to swing by the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, to purchase the Founders Edition RTX 5070, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090.
