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

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series: Preorder Guide and Reviews

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 launch first, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February. Be warned: stock is expected to be extremely limited, potentially selling out within minutes due to anticipated high demand and the prevalence of bots. Pre-built PCs featuring these GPUs may offer a more readily available (though pricier) alternative.

Where to Preorder:

To maximize your chances, check multiple retailers simultaneously. Proceed to checkout immediately upon finding an available card. Competition will be fierce.

Retailer Breakdown:

• Best Buy: Often a good option for Founder's Editions (FE), with generally fast shipping. Inventory varies by region.

• Newegg: Offers the widest selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Check for bundle deals if standalone cards are unavailable. Buy directly from Newegg, not marketplace vendors, to ensure warranty eligibility.

• Nvidia Store: Founder's Editions are typically scarce here. Consider registering for notifications or past customer invites.

• Amazon: Search carefully, avoiding marketplace vendors with inflated prices. Prioritize purchases directly from Amazon.

• Adorama & B&H Photo: Offer AIB cards and pre-built PCs, but shipping times may be longer.

• Micro Center: Your best in-store option if you live nearby. Expect significant lines.

IGN Reviews:

Our reviews highlight impressive AI features (DLSS 4) but note modest performance gains over the RTX 40-series in traditional gaming. The RTX 5090 surpasses the RTX 4090 in performance, while the RTX 5080 offers a noticeable upgrade for users with older hardware. DLSS 4 significantly boosts frame rates in supported games.
