MSI's limited-edition RTX 5090 Lightning Z GPU, priced at $5,090, has been listed on eBay for almost $27,000 due to its high demand and limited availability, with resellers demanding a 500% premium. Despite the steep price, enthusiasts are willing to pay for the significant performance boost it offers over the stock RTX 5090 FE, with potential for even higher performance through manual overclocking and BIOS modifications. The GPU's extreme capabilities have garnered attention, with one overclocker attempting to set a world record using the XOC BIOS, though encountering thermal issues. The scarcity and high performance of this GPU continue to attract buyers despite the exorbitant prices.
