CyberPowerPC has started selling RTX Founders Edition PC builds through Walmart, putting NVIDIA’s own reference-design RTX 5070, RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 cards inside pre-built desktops instead of the GPU-only listings NVIDIA normally reserves them for. The five configurations are live now as part of Walmart’s GeForce Week promotion, which runs through 27 September.
Founders Edition cards are NVIDIA’s own reference design, sold and built by NVIDIA rather than board partners such as ASUS or MSI, and normally available only through NVIDIA’s own store or the pop-up events it runs at gaming conventions.
Two of the builds use the RTX 5070 Founders Edition. Both pair the 12GB card with 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory, a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, a 360mm closed-loop cooler and CyberPowerPC’s MA-01 case. The only difference between them is the processor: an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at $1,599, or an Intel Core i7-14700KF at $1,549.
Inside the RTX Founders Edition PC lineup
Three more configurations round out the range, built around the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 Founders Edition cards:
- RTX 5080 FE with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
- RTX 5080 FE with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- RTX 5090 FE with an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
Walmart hasn’t published list prices for those three, but the discounts follow the same pattern as the 5070 builds. That pattern traces back to how NVIDIA sells Founders Edition cards in the first place: through pop-up retail events it calls Verified Priority Access IRL, staged at conventions such as QuakeCon 2026 and PAX West in Seattle, where ID checks are meant to keep the cards at MSRP and out of scalpers’ hands. The programme started with the RTX 4090 FE and returned for the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 launches.
Tom’s Hardware puts the total savings across the five builds at $580 to over $1,300, with the Intel-CPU RTX 5070 rig cut from a $2,139.99 list price to $1,549, a saving of $590.99, and the Ryzen version cut from $2,179.99 to $1,599, saving $580.99. The size of those discounts suggests CyberPowerPC acquired the GPUs at MSRP through the same retail channel rather than paying AIB-style markups.
Where the specs actually diverge
Walmart’s own listings, rather than the press coverage, show where the five builds differ beyond the GPU. Storage is the one spec that changes with tier: the RTX 5070 and RTX 5080 rigs all ship with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and only the RTX 5090 build doubles that to 2TB. Memory holds steady at 32GB of DDR5 and every rig uses the same 360mm liquid cooler, so aside from the GPU itself, the extra SSD space is the only thing setting the flagship apart from the rest of the line.
What to watch next
Walmart lists all five builds in limited quantity, and the GeForce Week promotion is scheduled to end on 27 September, so it isn’t clear how long stock will last once a configuration sells out. Whether CyberPowerPC gets another allocation of Founders Edition cards for a future sale is also worth watching, since NVIDIA has otherwise kept those cards restricted to its own store and pop-up events.
