Doesn't matter, I couldn't afford a 5090 anyway.
going by trend, I don't think my apartment could fit a 5090
On the plus side you no longer need heating.
Or you have to keep it in your other apartment to avoid heat stroke. If you can't afford another apartment, you probably can't afford this card.
You'd need a separate apartment just to keep it from sagging...
Nvidia doesn't care. Their margins will be high enough, and there will be enough buyers that they'll be able to print money at whatever absurd price point they choose.
It's gonna be over $2,000. (Uneducated caveman ignorant guess)
I'm seeing $1900, but guessing $2500+ once the scalpers get to scalping. I don't intend to buy one, but I hope those assholes get fucked over.
If "Learning from history" counts as education, I wouldn't call it an uneducated guess.

I got my 3080 and I plan on keeping using it for a good while still.
I got lucky and scored a 4090 at a discount on launch day. I think I'll just hang onto it for a few more generations. It still has plenty of power to run everything at 4K 120Hz especially with DLSS Balanced, (except Indiana Jones; that game is extremely demanding), which I use anyway cause IMO it looks better than AA.
