GeForce RTX 5090 is a card, not a computer: every price shown for it is the cheapest listing we found plus $1,000 for the minimum host machine.
memory = 123B × 0.820 B/param (6.56 bits) + 0.360 GB/1K × 8K K/V + 1.2 GB runtime
speed = bandwidth × 0.65 ÷ (123B active × 0.820 B/param) = 100.9 GB read per token
usable = memory − operating system reserve (8% on a Mac, 6% on a DGX Spark, 4% on a card)
Bandwidth is the vendor’s published figure. Every speed is an estimate and says so. Methodology.
