In Russia, an RTX 5090 Can Cost More Than a Three-Bedroom Apartment

Some RTX 5090 graphics cards in Russia are now listed for around 500,000–620,000 rubles (about $6,100–$7,600).

For roughly the same money, listings in the northern city of Vorkuta show entire three-bedroom apartments of up to about 70 square meters (753 sq ft) selling for 450,000–500,000 rubles.

So the choice is yours: ray tracing at maximum settings, or your own apartment above the Arctic Circle.

What would you choose: an RTX 5090 or an apartment in Vorkuta?
