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 anticipate shortages, and past launches have been plagued by bots snatching 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.

Pricing and Preorder Locations

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

• 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 uncertain. To maximize your chances, check each retailer and purchase the first card you can successfully add to your cart. Competition will be fierce.

Best Buy

Best Buy often provides a good chance of securing an RTX 5090 or 5080, particularly the Founder's Edition. Availability varies by region, and their preorders typically ship quickly.

Newegg

Newegg offers a wide selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Check for both standalone cards and bundle deals, which may have better availability.

Nvidia Store

Securing a Founder's Edition from the Nvidia Store is challenging. Consider registering for notifications or past customer programs for potential advantages.

Amazon

Amazon's vast marketplace can be tricky. Focus on purchasing directly from Amazon, not third-party sellers, to avoid inflated prices and scams.

Adorama

Adorama offers pre-built PCs and GPUs, but shipping times may be longer than other retailers. Consider this alongside other options.

B&H Photo

Similar to Adorama, B&H Photo offers GPUs but may have longer shipping times. Check multiple retailers for quicker delivery.

Micro Center (In-Store)

For local shoppers, Micro Center is a strong contender, but expect high demand and potentially long lines.

IGN's RTX 5090 and 5080 Reviews

The RTX 50-series prioritizes AI features, particularly DLSS 4, which significantly boosts frame rates in compatible games. While offering modest performance improvements over the 40-series in traditional gaming, the AI-enhanced performance is a key differentiator.

Our reviews highlight that while the generational leap isn't massive in traditional gaming, DLSS 4 provides substantial performance gains. Consider your gaming style and whether AI-assisted performance is a priority.
