Nvidia RTX 5090/5080: Preorder Now

The wait is over! Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards are available for preorder, starting at 6 AM PT on January 30th. Leading the charge are the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February.

Be warned: launch-day stock is expected to vanish quickly. Retailers have already cautioned about limited inventory, and past launches have been plagued by bots snapping up cards for resale at inflated prices. If you're ready to buy, don't hesitate. Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer better availability, albeit at a premium.

Update: Most retailers have already sold out.

Pricing and Preorder Locations

While only the RTX 5090 and 5080 launch in January, Nvidia has announced pricing for all four models:

• RTX 5090 - $1,999
• RTX 5080 - $999
• RTX 5070 Ti - $749
• RTX 5070 - $549

The retailers listed above offer the RTX 5090 and 5080, but stock is unpredictable. To maximize your chances, check each retailer and proceed to checkout immediately. Competition will be fierce.

Best Buy: Historically a good option, particularly for Founder's Edition cards. Availability depends on your region.

Newegg: Offers a wide selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Check for bundles if standalone cards are unavailable. Ensure you buy directly from Newegg, not a marketplace vendor.

Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are typically hard to find here. Consider registering for notifications.

Amazon: Difficult to navigate; prioritize listings from Amazon directly, avoiding marketplace vendors.

Adorama and B&H Photo: Legitimate retailers, but shipping times might be longer. Consider them as backup options.

Micro Center (In-Store): Your best in-store option if you're nearby. Expect high demand.

IGN Reviews

The RTX 50-series emphasizes AI features over raw rasterization performance. DLSS 4 offers significant frame rate boosts in supported games, though the generational leap in traditional gaming is modest. Read our reviews for more details:
