Preorder Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Graphics Cards Now

The wait is finally over! The highly anticipated first wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards is now available for preorder, starting at 6am PT on January 30. Kicking off the lineup are the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs. For those eagerly awaiting the mid-range options, the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti will follow suit in February.

Be prepared, though, as launch-day stock is likely to vanish within hours, if not minutes. Retailers have cautioned about potential shortages, and past Nvidia GPU launches have seen bots snapping up stock to resell at inflated prices. If you're ready to purchase and lucky enough to find these GPUs in stock, act quickly. Alternatively, consider prebuilt PCs featuring the RTX 5090, which might remain available longer, albeit at a premium.

Where should I preorder a RTX 5090 or 5080 GPU?

Various RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards are listed for sale at the retailers mentioned above, but stock levels are uncertain. To maximize your chances of securing one on launch day, it's crucial to check each retailer and complete your purchase as soon as you find an available card. Competition will be fierce, so even if you spot a GPU in stock, it may not be available by the time you reach checkout. Here's a breakdown of the advantages of checking different retailers:

Best Buy

0See it at Best Buy

Based on previous Nvidia GPU launches, Best Buy is likely your best bet for snagging an RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 online, especially the Founder's Edition. Although currently listed with only FE and Gigabyte models, expect more options from Asus, MSI, and Zotac soon. Stock varies by region, so if you're in an area with lower demand, your chances are better here. Best Buy also offers quick shipping and in-store pickup options, ensuring you get your GPU within days rather than weeks or months.

Newegg

Newegg should be high on your list, offering the broadest range of AIB RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs from third-party manufacturers. With 43 different models currently listed from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac, Newegg is an authorized reseller, ensuring you receive the full manufacturer's warranty when buying directly from them. If standalone cards are sold out, consider bundle kits that include other components like a motherboard, CPU, RAM, or power supply, which tend to last longer in stock.

Nvidia Store

While the Nvidia Store might seem like the obvious choice, the Founder's Edition typically sells out instantly. However, if you're a loyal Nvidia customer, keep an eye out for special invites, similar to those sent for the RTX 40-series, based on past GPU registrations or notifications through GeForce Experience or the Nvidia app.

Amazon

Amazon is a go-to for many, but finding these GPUs can be tricky. There's no dedicated page listing all available video cards, and search results often include overpriced or fraudulent marketplace listings. Always ensure you're buying from Amazon directly for the best experience. I'll keep you updated with specific GPU models as they become available.

Adorama

Adorama offers preorders for AIB RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs, as well as pre-built gaming PCs. Note that Adorama's preorder queue can be slower, with some customers waiting months for shipment. Even if you secure a preorder here, continue monitoring other retailers for faster delivery options. Adorama is a legitimate retailer and authorized Nvidia reseller with a physical store in NYC.

B&H Photo

B&H Photo lists a variety of RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs. Similar to Adorama, expect longer shipping times for preorders. Continue to check other retailers for quicker delivery options. B&H Photo, much like Adorama, is rooted in camera and print sales but has expanded into a large ecommerce platform and is an authorized Nvidia reseller.

Micro Center (In-Store)

If you live near a Micro Center, this is your best chance to get an RTX 5090 or 5080 on launch day. Micro Center reserves stock for in-store customers, so arrive early—some enthusiasts have already started camping out.

We reviewed the RTX 5090 FE and 5080 FE GPUs

The Nvidia 50 series GPUs were unveiled at CES 2025, emphasizing enhanced AI features over traditional raster performance. DLSS 4 technology promises 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 review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE, 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. When it comes to 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."

Similarly, in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie commented, "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."
