Where to Preorder the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Graphics Cards

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs: Preorder Guide and Reviews

The highly anticipated Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards are now available for preorder, starting at 6 AM PT on January 30th. The top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launch initially, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February. Be warned: stock is expected to be extremely limited, with potential sellouts within minutes due to high demand and bot activity. Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer a more readily available (though pricier) alternative.

Pricing and Where to Preorder

Nvidia has announced pricing for all four models: RTX 5090 ($1,999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), and RTX 5070 ($549). Securing a card on launch day requires checking multiple retailers simultaneously. Prioritize those with the widest selection and fastest shipping.

Retailer Breakdown:

• Best Buy: Often a good option for Founder's Edition cards, with relatively quick shipping. Inventory varies by region.

• Newegg: Largest 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.

RTX 5090 & 5080 Reviews:

IGN reviews highlight significant improvements in AI-powered features (DLSS 4) but a more modest performance increase over the previous generation in traditional gaming. The value proposition is debated, especially for users already owning high-end cards.
