In brief: We're still at least six weeks away from the launch of the RTX 5090, a card that Nvidia has yet to confirm exists, but one company is already accepting pre-orders for a system packing six or eight of these GPUs. If you want to secure a priority slot for the AI server, just hand over around $10,500.

Lithuanian system integrator Comino is jumping the gun when it comes to offering Nvidia's next consumer flagship card. German publication Hardwareluxx discovered that the company is offering up to eight of them in the Grando Server, an AI workstation that also comes with a 32-core AMD Epyc processor, 256GB of RAM, and 1TB of NVMe storage.

Putting six to eight RTX 5090 cards into a single server is going to create plenty of heat, which is why the system uses a liquid cooling setup to keep temperatures under control.

Not surprisingly, the cost of all that hardware is substantial. A system with six RTX 5090s is about 40,000 euros, or $42,213. Increasing the number of cards to eight pushes the price to 50,000 euros, or $52,767.

Hardwareluxx registered its interest in one of the systems with Comino. It was informed that due to the high number of pre-orders, the company recommends paying a deposit to secure priority, reserve a position on the waiting list, and receive the system as soon as possible following the official release of the RTX 5090.

Comino suggested that a deposit of at least 10,000 euros, about $10,500, was required. The more money put down, the higher the position on the pre-order list, which should result in a quicker delivery of the system.

There's no doubt this all seems a little sketchy – it's hard to imagine Nvidia would be too pleased. It's likely that Comino is trying to capitalize on the demand for hardware used in AI applications, especially as the Blackwell B100 and B200 GPUs are sold out for the next 12 months.

It's not just Nvidia's products that are appearing on retail sites before they've been announced. Intel's Arc B580 graphics card briefly appeared on Amazon this week, ahead of the expected launch of the Battlemage cards this December.
