Suspicious ₹2.85L RTX 5090 listing hits Amazon India

The ₹2.85 Lakh listing is a massive scalper markup at best and a fraudulent listing at worst, highlighting the extreme demand for consumer VRAM in the local LLM space.

• –The RTX 5090 is the "gold standard" for local inference in early 2026, providing the VRAM required to run Gemma 4 31B with a 150k context window.
• –Amazon India has become a hotspot for GPU scams where new seller accounts list high-demand hardware to exploit local inventory shortages.
• –Gemma 4 31B requires significant KV cache for its extended context; even with 4-bit quantization, a single 5090 is pushed to its architectural limits.
• –Legitimate retail MSRP in India for the 5090 typically sits between ₹2.38L and ₹2.5L, making this listing a ~20% premium over retail.
