RTX 5090 Price in Spain Hits €17,000: Availability and Wait Times 2026

The RTX 5090 price in Spain has reached absurd levels, with some models listed at up to €17,000. If you're a gamer or follow the hardware scene, you already know that building a gaming PC is expensive right now. A quick look at specialist stores like PcComponentes or Coolmod shows RAM and storage at inflated prices. For example, in mid-2024 I bought 32 GB of Corsair DDR5 RAM for €125.99 on Amazon. Today, the same kit costs over €600 on Amazon.

Now imagine you still want to build a top-tier gaming PC and aim for the best graphics card: NVIDIA's RTX 5090. This GPU was never cheap—it launched at over €2,000—but surprise: it's now almost impossible to find a unit for under €7,000, and in some cases prices hit €17,000. We checked major Spanish retailers for RTX 5090 models, and here are the results.

In 2026 alone, these NVIDIA graphics cards have seen three price increases. Let's illustrate with the cheapest RTX 5090 we found today, October 28: an Asus model. The following chart comes from Keepa, a tool that tracks price history.

Why Is the RTX 5090 So Expensive in Spain?

Several factors combine to push the RTX 5090 price to extreme levels. First, global supply of high-end GPUs remains tight, and Spain is a small market compared to the US or Asia. Retailers face limited allocations and must pay premium wholesale prices.

Second, the weak euro against the dollar makes imported electronics more costly. Add shipping and import fees, and the base cost rises significantly. Third, demand from professionals and enthusiasts who need top performance outstrips supply, allowing sellers to charge a premium.

Finally, speculative buying and scalping worsen the situation. Some buyers purchase cards only to resell them at inflated prices, further reducing availability for genuine users.

Current Availability and Wait Times

Finding an RTX 5090 in stock at a reasonable price is a challenge. Most Spanish retailers show listings as "out of stock" or "available for backorder" with vague delivery estimates. When units do appear, they sell out within minutes.

Wait times vary widely. Some stores quote 2-4 weeks for backorders, but these estimates often slip. Others don't provide any date, leaving customers in limbo. The few cards available for immediate shipping carry eye-watering price tags.

We checked several retailers and found that the cheapest in-stock model was an Asus RTX 5090 at just under €7,000. Higher-end models from brands like Zotac, MSI, and Gigabyte easily exceed €10,000, with some white editions reaching €17,000.

Price Comparison Across Retailers

To give you a clearer picture, here's a snapshot of RTX 5090 prices at major Spanish retailers as of late October 2026. Note that prices fluctuate daily and stock is extremely limited.

As you can see, the spread is enormous. The white Zotac model at Coolmod is the most expensive we found, but even mainstream models command a hefty premium.

What This Means for PC Builders

For anyone planning a high-end build, the RTX 5090 is effectively out of reach unless you have a very large budget. The card alone can cost more than an entire premium system did a few years ago.

Alternatives include waiting for prices to stabilize (unlikely soon), opting for a lower-tier GPU like the RTX 5080 or 5070 Ti, or buying a pre-built system where the GPU cost is bundled. However, pre-built systems also carry inflated prices.

If you must have the best, consider setting up stock alerts and being ready to buy immediately when a card appears near MSRP. But be prepared for a long wait.

Key Takeaways

• RTX 5090 prices in Spain range from €7,000 to €17,000, far above the €2,000+ launch price.
• Three price increases in 2026 have pushed costs to unprecedented levels.
• Availability is extremely limited; most retailers are out of stock or have long backorder queues.
• Weak euro, high demand, and scalping contribute to the problem.
• Alternatives include lower-tier GPUs or waiting for market stabilization.

What to Watch Next

Keep an eye on NVIDIA's production announcements and any potential supply chain improvements. Also monitor currency exchange rates—a stronger euro could ease prices slightly. Retailer promotions or bundle deals might offer temporary relief. A closer look at the same subject appears in Gigabyte RTX 50 Infinity GPUs: Premium Design, High Price.
