Buying goodies from a trendy food truck can get expensive. But I\u2019ll bet that even the most desperate TikTok foodie hasn\u2019t dropped more than a grand at once on something they can\u2019t actually eat. But you can if you\u2019re attending Nvidia\u2019s GPU Technology Conference (GTC), where the company is selling its RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards from a pop-up \u201cfood truck\u201d sales stall.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t everybody rush to San Jose at once. The impossible-to-find cards will only be sold to GTC attendees\u2014apparently alongside merch shirts and puffy vests\u2014who are already paying more than a thousand dollars for the cheapest ticket to see the newest industrial hardware from Nvidia and its partners. And no, those passes don\u2019t get you any discounts on the cards, some of which are from AIB partners and not the Founder\u2019s Edition GPUs that are going for nearly mythical retail prices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even Nvidia only has a couple thousand cards on hand\u20141,000 each for the RTX 5080 and 5090, according to Tom\u2019s Hardware<\/a>. They\u2019re being sold in small batches at random times. One Twitter\/X post from yesterday<\/a> says that the store will sell 90 of them for the next 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

GTC continues today and tomorrow, showing off mostly AI and industrial products, including some new Nvidia-branded desktops and mini PCs<\/a>. The people who actually buy these cards will be mostly developers or otherwise poised to use them for something other than PC gaming. That said, it wouldn\u2019t be all that surprising if some of the cards sold at the show pop up on eBay or Craigslist right afterward. After all, flipping a hot item might just cover a first-class ticket home.<\/p>\n
