Nvidia RTX PRO 5500 Shares RTX 5090 Silicon but Costs $16,000 More
Nvidia’s newly listed RTX PRO 5500 workstation graphics card utilizes the exact same silicon configuration as its consumer flagship, the RTX 5090, yet commands a price of $17,999 compared to the gaming card's $1,999 launch price. This massive markup has intensified speculation that Nvidia is prioritizing professional buyers over gamers, contributing to the ongoing global shortage of RTX 5090 units.
