An Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card. | Photo by Tom Warren/The Verge
Every so often, Central Computers - one of the last remaining dedicated Silicon Valley computer stores - lets subscribers know it's managed to obtain a small shipment of AMD graphics cards. Today, it informed me that I could now purchase a $600 Radeon RX 9070 XT for $850 - a $250 markup.
It's not alone. I just checked every major US retailer and street prices on eBay, and I regret to inform you: the great GPU shortage has returned.

Nvidia RTX 5090 | $1,999 | $3,871 | $3,140 |
Nvidia RTX 5080 | $999 | $1,533 | $1,390 |
Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti | $749 | $1,052 | $825 |
Nvidia RTX 5070 | $549 | $715 | $610 |
"Best retail price" is the actual price I saw a card for on April 25th - roughly the minimum you'd pay.
