This HP Omen 45L gaming PC at $1,245 off is the cheapest way to bag an RTX 5090 graphics card — massive New Year code saving makes the whole PC cheaper than buying the card by itself
If you're on the hunt for a standalone RTX 5090 graphics card, I wish you good luck in finding one. Recently, the flagship Nvidia card has surged in price far beyond the mythical $2000 MSRP, and is now also harder to find than a clear picture of Sasquatch going for a forest walk. The only way to get your hands on a 5090 at the moment is to purchase one as part of a prebuilt gaming PC, and today, we have a deal on an HP Omen 45L gaming PC that you can configure with an RTX 5090 for just $3544.99 when you add the promo code NEWYEAR26 for a 26% discount off the total checkout price, getting you the whole rig for less than current 5090 standalone listings.
You will need to configure the HP Omen 45L desktop to include the RTX 5090, and when selecting the 5090, you also have to default to selecting the 1200-watt power supply option. You could save a few cents by going with 16GB of RAM, but I wouldn't recommend dropping below 32GB on a high-end build like this. For the price I've listed, I selected 32GB of Kingston Fury 32GB DDR5-6000 MT/s memory. The rest of the configured parts include an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K with 20 cores and 20 threads, and a 1TB SSD for storage.
This configured HP Omen 45L gaming PC features an RTX 5090 GPU, Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD for storage.
Apply code NEWYEAR26 at checkout to receive the 26% discount on your order.
Searching through the most popular retailers, I have not found a 1st-party seller offering an RTX 5090. There are some 3rd-party listings on Amazon and Newegg for $4500 - $5500, but I wouldn't risk it for those prices. It's not just RAM that's disappearing off the shelves and asking astronomical prices; GPUs are also starting to climb in price again. If you want the most powerful graphics card available, you're not going to find one anywhere near the $2000 MSRP.
The Nvidia RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer graphics card available (if you can find one in stock), and in our review of Nvidia's RTX 5090, we saw a 25% increase in performance at 4K ultra over the previous RTX 4090 flagship GPU. We benchmarked the card against our suite of 16 games and found it easily topped the charts in pure rasterization and dominated in ray tracing and MFG applications, where Nvidia holds the crown.
