The wait is finally over! The first wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards is available for preorder starting at 6 a.m. PT on January 30. Kicking off the series are the two highest-end GPUs: the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. The mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti cards will follow in February.
Be prepared, as the launch-day stock of these GPUs is likely to sell out within minutes or hours. Retailers have warned about potential shortages, and past Nvidia GPU launches have been affected by bots snapping up inventory for resale at inflated prices. If you manage to find one in stock, act quickly. Alternatively, consider prebuilt PCs equipped with the RTX 5090, which may stay in stock longer, albeit at a higher cost.

Where should I preorder a RTX 5090 or 5080 GPU?
Various retailers have listed the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 for sale, but stock levels are unpredictable. To maximize your chances of securing one on launch day, it's best to check multiple retailers and purchase from the first one that allows you to complete the checkout process. Competition is fierce, and even if a GPU appears in stock, it might sell out before you can buy it. Here’s a breakdown of the advantages of checking different retailers:
Despite its power, the RTX 5090 FE boasts a slim 2-slot cooling solution that's smaller than the 4090.### Best Buy
### Preorder the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs at Best Buy
0See it at Best BuyBased on previous Nvidia GPU launches, Best Buy might offer one of the best chances to secure an RTX 5090 or RTX 5080, especially the Founder's Edition. Although currently listing only FE and Gigabyte models, expect more from Asus, MSI, and Zotac soon.
Best Buy's stock varies by region, so if you're in an area with lower demand, your chances are better. Plus, Best Buy typically ships or offers in-store pickup quickly, meaning you could have your GPU in hand within days.
Newegg
### Preorder the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs at Newegg
0See it at NeweggNewegg is a must-check due to its wide range of AIB RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards from third-party manufacturers. With 43 different models listed, including every model from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac, Newegg offers variety. As an authorized reseller, buying directly from Newegg ensures you get the full manufacturer's warranty.
Even if individual cards sell out, Newegg also offers bundle kits with the 5080 and 5090, which include components like motherboards, CPUs, RAM, or power supplies. These bundles sell out slower and could be beneficial for those building a PC.
Nvidia Store

Nvidia has previously sent special invites to registered GPU owners or those signed up for notifications through GeForce Experience or the Nvidia app, potentially offering another chance this time.
Amazon

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 over traditional raster performance. DLSS 4 technology is said to quadruple frame rates with minimal visual compromise. While these GPUs offer a performance boost, opinions vary on their value compared to the RTX 40 series.
In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE review, 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. For traditional non-AI gaming performance, the RTX 5090 provides one of the smallest generational uplifts in recent memory. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 really does deliver huge performance gains – you just have to make your peace with the fact that 75% of the frames are generated with AI."
In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie echoed similar sentiments. "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."Why Should You Trust IGN's Deals Team?
