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. Leading the charge are the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February. Be warned: launch-day stock is expected to vanish quickly due to limited inventory and the potential for bot-driven purchasing. Act fast if you want to secure one! Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer better availability, albeit at a premium.

Pricing and Where to Preorder

Nvidia has announced pricing for all four models:

  • RTX 5090 - $1,999
  • RTX 5080 - $999
  • RTX 5070 Ti - $749
  • RTX 5070 - $549

To increase your chances of securing an RTX 5090 or 5080, check multiple retailers. Be prepared for intense competition; even if a card shows as in stock, it may sell out quickly.

Despite its power, the RTX 5090 FE boasts a slim 2-slot cooling solution that's smaller than the 4090.

Retailer Breakdown:

  • Best Buy: Often a good option, especially for Founder's Edition cards. Check availability in your region.
  • Newegg: Offers the widest selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Consider bundles if standalone cards are unavailable. Buy only from Newegg directly, not marketplace vendors.
  • Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are typically hard to find here. Consider registering for notifications.
  • Amazon: Difficult to navigate; prioritize purchases directly from Amazon, avoiding marketplace sellers.
  • Adorama & B&H Photo: May have longer shipping times compared to other retailers.
  • Micro Center: Best bet for in-store pickup if you're nearby. Expect lines.

IGN's RTX 5090 and 5080 Reviews:

Our reviews highlight impressive AI-enhanced performance (DLSS 4) but relatively modest improvements in traditional gaming compared to the RTX 40 series. The upgrade is more significant for users with older hardware.
