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

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 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, and bots are likely to snatch up many cards. 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:

Maximize your chances by checking multiple retailers. Prioritize those with a history of quick shipping. Be aware that even with a card showing "in stock," it might sell out before you complete your purchase.

Retailer Breakdown:

• Best Buy: Often a good option for Founder's Edition cards, with generally fast shipping. Inventory varies by region.

• Newegg: Largest selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Check for bundle deals if standalone cards are unavailable. Ensure you buy directly from Newegg, not a marketplace vendor.

IGN Reviews:

Our reviews highlight significant improvements in AI features (DLSS 4) but a more modest performance increase over the RTX 40 series in traditional gaming. The value proposition depends on your existing hardware and reliance on AI-enhanced performance. [Link to RTX 5090 Review] [Link to RTX 5080 Review]
