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

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs: Preorder Guide and Launch Day Survival Tips

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 lead the charge, with the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February. Be warned: expect extremely limited launch-day stock due to anticipated high demand and the potential for bot-driven purchasing. Act fast if you find one in stock! Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer a slightly better chance of availability, albeit at a premium.

Where to Preorder:

Maximize your chances by checking each retailer listed above. Remember, even seeing a card in stock doesn't guarantee a purchase. The competition will be fierce.

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 sell out. Buy directly from Newegg, not marketplace vendors, for warranty protection.
• Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are typically scarce here. Consider registering for notifications.
• Amazon: Use caution; verify the seller is Amazon directly to avoid inflated prices or scams.
• Adorama & B&H Photo: May have longer shipping times than other retailers.
• Micro Center: Best in-store option if you're nearby; expect lines and early arrival.

Review Summary:

While offering a performance increase over the RTX 40-series, the generational leap is modest in traditional gaming. DLSS 4 significantly boosts frame rates in supported games, but relies heavily on AI upscaling. Consider your needs and whether the AI-enhanced performance justifies the upgrade cost.
