You can buy this AMD rig with 7 water-cooled Nvidia RTX 5090 GPUs and receive it in a week but it will cost $102,000

At least two workstation specialists have put supercharged PCs with Nvidia RTX 5090 GPUs on sale over the past few days. The most impressive of them all is the Bizon ZX5500 which packs up to seven (yes, seven) water-cooled 32GB RTX 5090 GPUs in a tall tower casing. 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 will probably feature in our best workstation guide, it is not as expansive as Comino's Grando server, which has eight RTX 5090 GPUs, but the latter has yet to get a launch date (I contacted Comino for more details).
The ZX5500 doesn't come cheap at just under $102,000 with the GPUs accounting the lion share (more than 83%) of the total cost. That's almost 3x the price of MIFCOM's Big Boss which has seven liquid-cooled RTX 4090 GPUs.
A beefier 6Kw power supply unit plus and the cards cost an extra $85,000 compared to the same system with a pair of RTX 5080 (with 16GB VRAM each). As a reminder, the suggested retail price of the RTX 5090 is 'just' $2000.
The ZX5500 can be updated to a 96-core ThreadRipper Pro CPU with 1TB of DDR5 RAM, almost 1PB of PCIe 4.0 SSDs (15 x 61.44TB SSD) and seven liquid-cooled Nvidia H200 AI GPU; such a configuration pushes the price above half a million US Dollars.
Bizontech is a niche boutique vendor that specializes in servers, workstations and clusters for AI, deep learning and HPC. The RTX 5090 is sold out pretty much everywhere and it seems that Nvidia is prioritizing business and creative outlets like Bizontech, Puget Systems and Punch Technology, with workstations seemingly ready to be shipped within days rather than week.
Jon Bach, President, Puget Systems told me, 'Supply for the 5090 (and the 5080) is very limited, and we expect that to be the case for at least through March. Puget Systems has a good number of cards in hand at the moment because of our OEM relationships, but we appear to be somewhat unusual in that respect. Overall, we are filling orders, but expect our lead times to be affected until supply improves."
The creative crowd will love the RTX 5090 as it obliterates absolutely everything in its path but at a price. Puget Systems and Storagereview benchmarked it across a wide range of AI and creative tests and found that it performed significantly better than previous generations (and AMD's finest cards) albeit with a much higher power station.
TechRadar's John Loeffler published a review of the RTX 5090 recently, calling it the supercar of graphics cards and asking whether it was simply too powerful, suggesting that it is an absolute glutton for wattage. He continues, 'It's overkill, especially if you only want it for gaming, since monitors that can truly handle the frames this GPU can put out are likely years away.'
This, of course, will be irrelevant to Nvidia's plans to launch an even more powerful version of the RTX 5090, one with a rumored 96GB GDDR7 memory which will replace the RTX 6000 ADA in due time. If this card follows the same inflationary trajectory as its consumer version then I won't be surprised if its ticket price reaches $15,000, making it the most expensive graphics card of all time.

Leaker believes 'there's a surprise' with rumored new take on Nvidia's RTX 5090 GPU – but if that's a cheaper price, there'll be a sting in the tail
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Nvidia could have a new spin on its RTX 5090 graphics card This is rumored to be a new version of the RTX 5090 D for China A leaker says it'll pack a 'surprise', but the truth could be more mundane Nvidia is rumored to be planning a new variant on its Blackwell flagship graphics card, potentially an RTX 5090 DD model – and it could come with a 'surprise' according to one leaker. Tom's Hardware flagged up two separate mentions of this potential GPU (add seasoning with all this) on X, the first of which came from MEGAsizeGPU, who mentioned the RTX 5090 DD and how it will be for China only. So, the theory is that this is a follow-up to the RTX 5090 D (single D, not double D) for China, a different spin on the standard Blackwell flagship which was produced for that country to get around US export regulations. Except the goalposts on those restrictions have been moved, and now rule out the RTX 5090 D itself as too powerful (for AI usage) to be shipped to China. It looks like the idea now is to further cut down the graphics card to again make it feasible to supply to Asia, and call it the RTX 5090 DD. The purported cut-down specs were supplied by another regular on the GPU leaking scene on X, Kopite7kimi, as you can see below. The key changes are a slightly lower-tier GPU chip (GB202-240, rather than GB202-250 as seen in the original 5090 D), and the video RAM has been dropped to 24GB with a narrower 384-bit memory bus. That means a 25% hit on the memory bandwidth compared to the RTX 5090 D, but the core count and TDP remain the same (the latter is interesting, and I'll return to why shortly). Tom's Hardware takes it as read that these two rumors are fully aligned – and they are from what we can see spec-wise – but note that Kopite7kimi has a question mark heading up their post on X, which begins: 'RTX 5090 DD?' However, this is likely referring to questioning the name, and whether this will really be called the RTX 5090 DD, rather than doubting whether this is actually a new spin on a China-only graphics card. Although we should never take anything for granted from the rumor mill, and maybe the latter could be the case. At any rate, the most intriguing bit here is Kopite7kimi's mention of a "surprise" from Nvidia with this GPU. When it comes to the name, yes, making it 'DD' sounds rather implausible, but remember – this is the company that brought you the RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics cards (and similarly clunky bouts of unimaginativeness in the past besides). As mentioned, the surprise is what we really want to know about, and Kopite7kimi doesn't elaborate on what that might be with any kind of a vague hint, even. So, we're left to guess on that score. Tom's Hardware theorizes that the surprise could be further cut-backs to the AI powers of the graphics card delivered via the firmware, and that sounds entirely possible. But equally it sounds entirely dull, and the way the leaker teases that "there's a surprise" feels like it's phrased to stoke a bit of excitement here. A minor chop to AI capabilities hardly qualifies in that respect, but what else could Nvidia possibly have up its sleeve here? For me, this hints that Nvidia is planning a move like cutting the price of the RTX 5090 DD. Or perhaps, most excitingly, offering it outside of China, too? Yeah, okay, that seems unlikely (although as noted, with that question mark, it could be that Kopite7kimi isn't fully sure this is the mentioned Chinese variant). Perhaps more realistically, we could be looking at a fair old bump in clock speeds (hence the TDP staying the same, with the spec being cut down in some key areas). Hopefully, we'll find out soon enough what Nvidia might be up to here, if anything, as this could all turn out to be so much smoke from the rumor mill (or plans from Team Green that never come to fruition). AMD looks like it's losing the GPU war based on new Steam survey, with Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti proving itself to be popular already Rumored Nvidia RTX 5080 Super specs disappoint some gamers, but I don't think there's anything to worry about with this GPU AMD could be working on a faster RX 9070 Extreme graphics card

New 3000W Asus PSU Handles 4 RTX 5090s in a Single PC
If you paid any attention to the launch of Nvidia's flagship GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, you know that some PSU connectors weren't up to handling the GPU's 575W power draw. Third-party cables were to blame for some of the melting incidents, but even cables and connectors from big names sometimes couldn't take the heat. But Asus thinks its new PSU is up to the task—and not just for one GPU. The Asus Pro WS Platinum power supply is meant to handle four RTX 5090s (or RTX Pro 6000s) simultaneously. Asus has a plan for preventing a very expensive meltdown: heavy-duty cables and connectors with gold-plated copper pins. The pins should make for lower connector temps by as much as 10°C (compared with standard connectors), according to Asus. The company also says that Pro WS Platinum's connectors have better socket pin contact for a more efficient draw. Credit: Asus As VideoCardz notes, Asus took care to help users connect the cables properly. The PCIe power cables for the graphics cards have purple connectors, while the CPU power cables have gray connectors. The cables are etched for better flexibility and—so long as you route them reasonably—can keep temperatures as low as 50°C under the max temp limit. The Pro WS Platinum is meant for professional workstations with heavy AI workloads rather than gaming PCs. It's available in three models: 1600W, which supports up to two RTX 5090s; 2200W, which supports up to four RTX 5080s; and a 3000W beast that runs up to four RTX 5090s. Asus says it beefed up the cooling for these PSUs with extruded aluminum heatsinks and fans that have dual-ball fan bearings. Other life-extending features include a moisture-resistant coating for the PCB and high-end capacitors. All three models are 80 Plus Platinum certified. And the PSU is just 6.89 inches long (again, for all three models), so it should fit comfortably in many workstation cases. Credit: Asus The RTX 50 series GPUs aren't the first to have the occasional cable/connector meltdown, but they have been dramatic. User error might be responsible for at least some of the melting issues, so MSI used special, yellow connectors for the GPU cables. The upgraded design was meant to help customers insert the cables correctly—and not to draw full power until they're firmly plugged in. The connector seems to have helped, though not entirely.
