At least two work station specialists have put SuperCharged PCs with NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs for sale in the last few days. The most impressive of them all is Bizon ZX5500 There are up to seven (yes, seven) water -cooled 32 GB RTX 5090 GPUs in a high tower house. This is the best GPU ever built and buying it through System Builders seems to be the only way to avoid months long wait.
While Bizontech’s solution is likely to contain in our best workstation guidance, it is not as expansive as Comino’s Grando Server, which has eight RTX 5090 GPUs, but the latter has not yet received a launch date (I contacted Comino for more details).
The ZX5500 does not get cheap to just under $ 102,000 with the GPU’s account Lion Share (more than 83%) of the total cost. That’s almost 3 times the price of Mifcom’s big boss, who has seven liquid -cooled RTX 4090 GPUs.
A beef 6kW power supply unit plus and the cards cost an extra $ 85,000 compared to the same system with a few RTX 5080 (with 16 GB of VRAM each). As a reminder, the proposed retail price for the RTX 5090 ‘just’ $ 2000.
RTX 5090 GPUs, where are you?
I wrote two weeks ago about Bizontech ZX5500, a 7-GPU RTX 5090 system that, unlike Grando Comino, can be paired with a double-core EPYC CPU, but had a much higher input price of $ 102,000. Other boutique work station providers have also managed to secure RTX 5090 units (albeit with a 4-6 week wire time).
The British-based punch technology takes orders for a threatripper pro that reproduces AI work station with two GPUs, a threadripper Pro 7995WX, 256 GB RAM and a sticker price of just under £ 24,000 (about $ 30,000).
For a little more, local rival scanning computers sell an EPYC-based workstation with eight RTX 5090 for nearly two-thirds what Comino charges for its system. I reached out to them on x.com (formerly twitter) to find out if this is a true price, a placeholder or a clumsy error.
(ED: It turns out it’s one year subscription to Scan’s Cloud Workstation Service, even more disappointing then)
Puget Systems, whose president accused very limited delivery of RTX 5090 for long leadership times, only sells single-gpu configurations for now, though I noticed that you can get a system (T140-XL) with two 16 GB Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU ‘ is too little less than $ 13,000, ready to send in less than two weeks.
Other workstation specialists selling RTX 5090 rigs include:
Popular workstation -outfit Titan computers, and none of the three major PC manufacturers (Dell, Lenovo and HP) have not yet released RTX 5090 workstations.
Look at
In his review of the RTX 5090, Techradar’s John Loeffler calls it the Supercar of Graphics card and asks if it was simply too powerful, which suggests it is an absolute glutton for wattage.
“It’s excessive,” he quips, “especially if you only want it for games, as screens that can really handle the frames this GPU can put is probably year away.”
