Amazon.com RTX 3090 channel (new and Amazon Renewed)

MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Tri Frozr and EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra, bare card, Amazon direct, pre-tax, observed 2026-10-03. Both $1,849.99 against Amazon's own strikethrough 'New Price' of $2,269.00 and $2,299.99 respectively. Separately an RTX 3090 Founders Edition on Amazon Renewed at $1,899.99 against $2,399.00 new. PRICE CLASS: this is an ASKING price captured from a live listing or product page, i.e. the price at which a seller advertises the part for sale right now. It is NOT a sold/completed transaction price, NOT an auction result and NOT a dealer cost. A realised price on the same day would generally be lower, and for used or refurbished parts the gap between ask and realised is typically wide PERISHABLE-FIGURE STAMP (added 2026-10-04, uniform across data/supply/ so it is greppable).

OBSERVED: 2026-10-03 RE-VERIFY BY: 2027-01-04 - the repo's quarterly re-verification bar. After that date this figure is presumed drifted and must be re-checked against its source before it is quoted again. A price without its observation date is noise; this stamp exists so a reader can tell a fresh figure from a stale one without reading prose.

NEGATIVE, DELIBERATELY NOT STRUCTURAL: no lead time in weeks is printed for these SKUs. It is not that no vendor in the chain publishes one - CDW does, and it is recorded on cdw-enterprise as 'published' - but this channel routes to 'request a quote' or shows a stock count instead, so the number exists elsewhere in the market and is not surfaced here.

EAR 3A001 or EAR99 (below the 3A090.a TPP / performance-density thresholds) + EAR 744.23 (Entity List) + EAR 744.6 (Unverified / MEU lists)

MECHANISM: the part falls BELOW the ECCN 3A090.a/.b TPP and performance-density thresholds, so the advanced-computing licence regime, its case-by-case China/Macau carve-out and its D:5 screening do NOT attach. What remains is the general EAR plus destination-country import rules and screening of the consignee and its ultimate parent against the Entity, Unverified and MEU lists. NO LICENCE REQUIRED for the sale itself; the screening is a party-listing check, not a performance-threshold check. The binding ECCN determination for any specific part is the exporter's own classification, not this record.

The most useful thing this channel shows is how far the RTX 3090's new-condition price has moved: Amazon's own 'new price' reference for a 3090 is now $2,149.99-$2,399.00, essentially identical to Newegg's $2,399.00 and above Micro Center's flat $1,099.99 refurbished tier. So the 2020 flagship is a $2.4k new part with a $1.1k refurb alternative and a current-generation RTX 5070 Ti at $1,249.99 - which is the honest reason it is no longer the value pick for local inference in new condition. The practical Amazon-specific finding is the Renewed tier at $1,899.99 for a Founders Edition, above Micro Center's $1,099.99 refurb for any AIB 3090. '50+ bought in past month' on the EVGA listing suggests real volume on the cheaper SKUs. Note the repo's separate new-retail-rtx-5090-amazon record carries Amazon 5090 figures sourced through a price-table aggregator; this record is direct from the amazon.com search page. EXPORT CONTROL (2026-10-04, mechanism-level; source spl-eccn-3a090-ccl): consumer gaming cards of this generation generally do NOT meet the 3A090.a TPP/performance-density parameters and fall under ECCN 3A001 or are designated EAR99, i.e. the advanced-computing licence regime with its case-by-case and D:5 screening does not attach to them. This is exactly what makes export status a PER-PART property rather than a per-vendor one: a GeForce RTX 5090 and a datacenter/professional part from the same vendor and the same process generation can carry entirely different control status. Recorded as false for that reason, NOT because the part is unregulated - it remains subject to the EAR generally, to destination-country import rules, and to screening of the consignee and its ultimate parent against the Entity, Unverified and MEU lists (15 CFR part 744). The binding ECCN determination for any specific SKU is the exporter's own classification, which no public vendor page states. LEAD TIME: null, and deliberately so. A marketplace or big-box reseller publishes STOCK STATE, not a lead time - where this record shows in-stock that means the listing was available on the observation date, and where it shows backorder no week window is published at all. Converting one into the other would be an invention. The one exception in the whole chain is CDW, which does print windows (source spl-cdw-published-lead-times-gpu-2026-10); note that even there the scarcest SKUs - the RTX PRO 6000 96GB cards and DGX Spark - read 'Item Backordered' with NO estimate, so scarcity and lead time are inversely related in what distributors actually publish.
