GoKawiilJensen Huang-signed Asus RTX 5090 found in secondhand market heads to Bonhams auction
A 3D artist bought what they thought was an Asus 30th-anniversary edition RTX 5090 from a used marketplace, only to discover it carried Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's autograph instead. Rather than use the card, they sold it, and it is now consigned to Bonhams auction house, with bidding scheduled for Oct. 4-14, 2026 and an estimate of $10,000-$15,000.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Prior sales of similarly autographed GPUs, including a $24,200 Asus RTX 5090 Dhabab edition and a $16,000 RTX 4090, suggest this card could exceed its current estimate. The episode also reflects a broader trend of Jensen Huang-associated memorabilia commanding outsized prices at auction, following the surprising $960 sale... actually record sale of his jacket earlier this year.

- The graphics card is headed to Bonhams auction house with bidding set for Oct. 4-14, 2026, estimated at $10,000-$15,000.
