Preorder Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Graphics Cards Now

The wait is finally over! The much-anticipated first wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards is now available for preorder, starting at **6am PT on January 30**. Kicking off the series are the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs. Following closely, the mid-range RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti will hit the market in February.

Be prepared, as the launch-day stock is expected to vanish in a flash. Retailers have already sounded the alarm about potential shortages, compounded by the issue of bots snapping up GPUs to resell at inflated prices. If you're set on snagging one of these cutting-edge GPUs, act swiftly upon finding one in stock. Alternatively, consider prebuilt PCs equipped with the RTX 5090, which might linger in stock longer, albeit at a premium.

Where should I preorder a RTX 5090 or 5080 GPU?

Various retailers have listed the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 for preorder, but stock levels remain a mystery. To increase your chances of securing one on launch day, it's wise to check multiple retailers and proceed with the first available option. Competition is fierce, and even if a GPU appears in stock, it might not stay that way long enough for you to complete your purchase. Here's a breakdown of the benefits of checking different retailers:

Best Buy

Best Buy is likely your best bet for snagging an RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 online, especially the coveted Founder's Edition. While currently only FE and Gigabyte models are listed, expect more from Asus, MSI, and Zotac soon. Stock availability varies by region, so if you're in an area with lower demand, your chances improve significantly. Best Buy's quick shipping or in-store pickup options mean you could have your GPU in hand within days.

Newegg

Newegg is a must-check with its extensive range of AIB RTX 5090 and 5080 models from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac. With 43 different models listed, though not all guaranteed to be in stock, Newegg ensures you're covered by the full manufacturer's warranty when buying directly. If standalone cards are sold out, consider their bundle kits, which include components like motherboards, CPUs, RAM, or power supplies, and tend to last longer in stock.

Nvidia Store

The Nvidia Store might seem like the obvious choice, but the highly sought-after Founder's Edition rarely stays in stock. However, if you're a loyal Nvidia customer, keep an eye out for special invites, similar to those sent for the RTX 40-series, which could give you a head start.

Amazon

Amazon is a vast marketplace, but finding these GPUs can be challenging due to the mix of direct and third-party sellers. Stick to Amazon direct listings to avoid inflated prices and scams. I'll keep an eye out for specific models and update as they become available.

We reviewed the RTX 5090 FE and 5080 FE GPUs

The Nvidia 50 series GPUs were unveiled at CES 2025, focusing on enhanced AI features alongside modest hardware improvements. DLSS 4 technology promises to quadruple frame rates with minimal visual compromise. While the performance boost over the RTX 40 series is modest, the value for PC gamers remains a topic of debate.

In our review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE, Jackie Thomas noted, "The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially taken the performance crown from the RTX 4090, but with less force than previous generations. In traditional non-AI gaming, the RTX 5090 offers one of the smallest generational uplifts in recent memory. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 delivers significant performance gains, though 75% of the frames are AI-generated."

Jackie echoed similar sentiments in the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, stating, "For those with recent high-end graphics cards, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not justify an upgrade due to its marginal performance lead over the RTX 4080. However, DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhances gameplay in supported titles. For gamers with older GPUs seeking a significant boost, the RTX 5080 is a solid choice, especially if you're open to Nvidia's AI enhancements."
