Single source: this development was reported by Tom's Hardware. What WORLDTECH can establish is that the report was made, and by whom. It has not been matched against a second independent organisation and has not been officially confirmed by the organisations involved.
What happened
But when they opened the box of the GPU, they were surprised to find that it was actually autographed by Jensen Huang himself. But when they opened the package, they found the Nvidia chief’s signature on it instead.
A 3D artist looking to build a new workstation bought this RTX 5090 off of a used marketplace expecting a unit autographed by an Asus executive. A 3D artist looking to purchase an RTX 5090 for their work claimed that they scored an unopened Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC from the secondhand market.
Rubin in-depth The Stout Owl: The ultimate Noctua G2 PC Jensen Huang autographed the GPU and showed it off on camera last year, after which it was supposed to be given away by one lucky gamer. The artist did not mention how much they bought the “used” GPU for, but brand-new models of the RTX 5090 now hit $5,000 and can go up even higher, depending on the model.
