SECURE YOUR RTX 5090: The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 GPU is set to go live at Best Buy for $1,999.99. Given the hype and limited stock, you'll need to follow Best Buy’s buying guidance closely: Create an account, confirm your location, and be quick at checkout. Financing options, cashback deals, and using gift card balances can help soften the blow of this beastly GPU’s price too.


Let's not sugarcoat it; the ASUS RTX 5090 is an absolute unit of a graphics card. Built with NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, it comes packed with 32GB of next-gen GDDR7 memory, an 8K resolution cap, and DLSS 4 AI-powered upscaling, making everything look smoother, sharper, and more detailed.

It has a 2.4GHz base clock and a 2.43GHz boost clock, giving it an edge in high-FPS gaming, 3D rendering, and AI-based workloads. If you plan on running Cyberpunk 2077 maxed out in 4K or pushing real-time ray tracing to the absolute limit, this GPU will make it all buttery smooth.

Cooling has been completely overhauled, and ASUS isn't messing around. The 3.5-slot design is backed by three Axial-tech fans, a massive fin array, and a phase-change GPU thermal pad, which lasts longer and performs better than standard thermal paste. The military-grade components ensure durability, while the ASUS protective PCB coating protects against dust and moisture. It's a beast in size and power, so make sure your case and power supply (1000W recommended) are ready to handle it.

Best Buy expects these to fly off the shelves, so sign in or create an account before launch. Confirm your preferred pick-up or shipping location, add the GPU to your cart, and complete checkout within 10 minutes — otherwise, you'll lose your spot. If stock vanishes, keep refreshing because Best Buy releases inventory in waves.

There are ways to soften the financial blow for payment options.

Now's the time to use them to cut down that hefty upfront cost.

This ASUS RTX 5090 is the GPU to get, and if you're serious about snagging one, you'll need speed, strategy, and a bit of luck. Good luck. May your checkout button be faster than the scalpers'.
