RTX 5090/5080 Preorders Go Live: Discover the Hottest New GPUs

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 January 30th at 6 AM PT. Leading the charge are the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February. Be warned: launch-day stock is expected to vanish quickly due to limited inventory and the potential for bot-driven purchasing. Act fast if you want to secure one! Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer a more readily available (though pricier) alternative.

Where to Preorder:

The retailers listed above offer the RTX 5090 and 5080, but stock is extremely limited. Check each site frequently and proceed to checkout immediately if you find one available. Consider bundles at Newegg if standalone cards are unavailable.

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 bundles if standalone cards are sold out. Buy directly from Newegg, not marketplace vendors, for warranty protection.
• Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are usually scarce here. Consider registering for notifications.
• Amazon: Difficult to navigate; prioritize purchases directly from Amazon, avoiding marketplace sellers.
• Adorama & B&H Photo: May have longer shipping times than other retailers.
• Micro Center: Best in-store option if you're nearby; expect long lines.

IGN Reviews:

Our reviews highlight the RTX 50 series' improved AI features (DLSS 4) offering significant performance boosts in compatible games, but the generational leap in traditional gaming performance is modest compared to previous generations. The RTX 5080 and 5090 offer compelling upgrades for users with older hardware, but less so for those with recent high-end cards.
