The US Navy Exchange (NEX) is making waves by offering the high-end GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs at official manufacturer suggested retail prices (MSRPs), but these deals come with a catch. Available only to active and retired US Navy personnel and their families, these offers present a rare opportunity in today’s market.
One lucky Reddit user snagged the powerful GeForce RTX 5090 for just $1900, thanks to a combination of credit card rewards and store discounts, shaving off an extra $100 from the MSRP of $1999. This is a remarkable deal, especially considering that this GPU typically fetches over $2700 worldwide.
The Redditor also noted that the NEX is offering the RTX 5070 and RTX 5080 at their MSRPs, priced at $549 and $999 respectively. The RTX 5090 Founder’s Edition he purchased now proudly sits inside his Lian Li O11 D XL chassis, reflecting a victory in this rare tech treasure hunt.
NEX operates as a tax-free haven for service members, offering a wide range of products at attractive prices. Although their selection of computer hardware is not extensive, the discounts offered outshine those of regular retailers.
As the broader market witnesses a gradual decline in RTX 50 GPU prices, NEX’s current pricing can be seen as highly competitive. For now, the options include models like the MSI Gaming Trio versions of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. However, those eyeing 60-class cards might have to wait, as they aren’t currently listed in the NEX online store.
While the availability of these GPUs at such prices is limited to a specific customer base, the news could provide a glimmer of hope for wider price stabilization in the future.
