With Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 it is possible to play games at 4K resolution with high frame rates. Sitting at the top of the GPU benchmark hierarchy with almost 114 fps at 4K Ultra settings, the card gives out a really strong boost over the previous-gen RTX 3090, but you have to pay a bit more to experience that performance. The RTX 4090’s MSRP is $1,599 but you won’t get it at that price. 

Most of the graphics cards these days are available at or below MSRP, the RTX 4090 is either out-of-stock or hiked up to over $2,000 at most retailers. In fact, below that there are the lowest prices available for the RTX 4090 cards, consisting of Nvidia Founders Edition and also AIB partner models, at the major U.S. sellers.

Right now, Amazon is the sole major retailer having different RTX 4090 cards in stock, but you need to pay about $2,200 and even more to get one. Newegg, B&H, and Best Buy are all out of stock whereas Walmart has got two models that are also heavily marked up. eBay has no shortage of scalpers, who are selling the cards for about $2,100 and more. 

If you are not in a hurry, you must keep an eye on and set up stock alerts from Newegg, Best Buy as well as B&H, as all these purports are to be selling these cards for less than $2,000 along with models as low as $1,599. If in case you are residing near a Micro Center, you might find one available to purchase in person. 

There’s yet another possibility: pick a different GPU from the list of best graphics cards. You can get 2K performance and also solid 4K frame rates out of Radeon 6950 XT which will cost just $799.
