With the complete buyers of the hope that retail stores already be camped to download one of the covered GPUs, the NVIDIA RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are about to be two of the maximum coveted graphics cards ever published, despite their $ 1. 999 and $ 999 and $ 999 Pricetags.
The MSI manufacturer (through the WCCFTech) said that the new GPUs will be shortened due to the new lunar year, also known as the Chinese New Year. This will be the first wave of GPU, the inventory deserves to stabilize around February and beyond.
Several retailers have also spoken out regarding the supply of the RTX 5090 specifically, with Overclockers UK claiming it has only received “single digits at present.” Last week it said it only had a “few hundred” RTX 5080 GPUs for launch. This stock difficulty was corroborated by U.S. retailer PowerGPU, which tweeted: “The launch of the RTX 5090 will be the worst when it comes to availability.”
To calm fears of online circulation, Nvidia representative Tim @ nvidia posted one titled “GeForce RTX 50 Series Availability” on the company’s official forum. It reads as follows:
“We expect a significant call for the GEFORCE RTX 5090 and 5080 and that the actions can happen.
With fears of limited stock rising, scalpers are poised to cash-in, with several listings for RTX 5090 GPUs already on eBay as “pre-sale.” One such listing showcases an Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090 as being available to order from a collectibles reseller for an eye-watering $5,750, an 187% increase over the original MSRP for the already expensive $1,999 card.
Nvidia can have another type of inventory to prioritize this week, even in the middle of the new launch of its new public GPUs in general. The percentage percentage of the company fell 16. 86% on Monday after the appearance of the Deepseek China AI model, whose accusations of being formed by $ 6 million in danger of the GPU of customers for Nvidia data data sales.
The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will be obtained on January 30, starting at $1,999 and $999, respectively. If you’re looking to get involved in new graphics cards, check out IGN’s NVIDI 50 Series Purchasing Consultant.

I’m sure costs starting to stabilize from the price lists of coatings wins will kick in and drive up costs again.
Nvidia’s shares fell 16. 86% on Monday after the appearance of the Chinese style of AI Deepseek, whose statements of being formed for only $ 6 million put at risk the GPU sales customers of GPU of Nvidia.
This is the biggest story here and I’m pretty much why Nvidia has gone from the top valuable company in the third position plus a weekend, now Apple and Microsoft, respectively. I need him to take the position even more, so perhaps Nvidia and the CEO would once care about gamers and not just the other AI people.
The rumor that RTX 5080 is only 10% faster in raw functionality compared to normal RTX 4080. It would be curious to know if this affects the demand. 5090 It is not a massive jump in 4090. Je perceives that it is designed with DLSS4 in mind, however, does not update the raw functionality Tflops.
Make no mistake. They do this on purpose.
I already have a 4090. There is no explanation why update this generation. I will return when there are PCI-E 6. 0 and a 6090 before the construction of a new machine.
A common issue exacerbated by the fact their focus is almost entirely on shipping chips for AI.
Of course, there is a shortage.
Nvidia needs to build hype and they’ve realized how scarcity and FOMO are clever tactics to do so.
And, of course, you have coatings that to gain cash on eBay.
Why release during the lunar new year then?
There will also be a great demand. It does not accumulate in marginal performance.
Can they give the impression that the call is the best?
Nvidia has already sold all 5090. Only the 5070 are now indexed on their website.
RTX 5080 for me. 4080 Now, so if I have to wait a few months, there is no biggie (he needs 4080 on a 2D device, therefore, going 5080 in the older one)
Then, from the price of 2k, wait a price of 3K. They gave me!
Is it really necessary to pay that much just to see a few more pixels or framerates?
Both in less than 10 seconds with position bots. Directly on eBay, the diversity of $ 3,000 to $ 5,000. PC Gaming ? Show.
Prices $2,000? LOL Other people like to waste their money, right?
Shortage even publishing the product hahaha
Paper launch
It seems that Nvidia appreciated the value of the values in the shortage of microchips 2020-2022 so much that they will recreate it artificially for this launch. Don’t be stupid and wait a few months.
