NVIDIA's RTX 5000 Founders Edition graphics cards are difficult to come by - and in some cases, near impossible - but a fresh batch of these GPUs has been deployed in the US in gaming rigs from CyberPowerPC.
VideoCardz reports that the manufacturer of prebuilts is selling PCs with Founders Edition RTX 5080 and 5070 GPUs inside them via Walmart, as part of the retailer's NVIDIA GeForce promotion this week.
However, the PCs with RTX 5080 graphics cards have already sold out sadly. When VideoCardz wrote about this, the cheaper model at $2,299 had already gone (where the NVIDIA GPU was paired with a Ryzen 9800X3D CPU). The $2,399 PC was seemingly still available, built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, but that's now vanished, too.

Only the two RTX 5070 models from CyberPowerPC are now on sale at $1,599 (with the Ryzen 7800X3D) and $1,549 (with the Intel 14700KF) respectively.
It's hardly surprising that the RTX 5080 PCs flew off the shelves at Walmart, given that the standalone graphics card now costs from $1,500 upwards in the US.
The Founders Edition is better than those basic entry-level third-party offerings, and you were getting a decent PC built around it, too (with 32GB of DDR5 to boot - and that's very pricey these days, of course). According to VideoCardz, the cheaper RTX 5080 systems sold out in a day flat, with Walmart shifting over 1,000 units apparently.

I expect the RTX 5070 PCs will last longer - they're both still in stock at the time of writing - but even these represent a decent bargain given that you're looking at around $850 for a third-party card in the US these days. That's up from around $650 just a couple of months ago, and GPU pricing is getting a whole lot worse thanks to the RAM crisis.
