Microcenter shelf suddenly stocked with dozens of RTX 5090s — is the GPU shortage easing?
OvertaxedOne · reddit · 2026-09-03
A Reddit user spotted dozens of RTX 5090s (various board partners) on the shelf at a Charlotte Microcenter — versus a single overpriced liquid-cooled card months ago — plus prebuilts with 5090s in the mid-$4,000 range, and two 96GB RTX Pro 6000 cards at $14K each.
The author cautions it's just one store, but the sudden bulk availability hints the GPU shortage may finally be easing.
