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

The wait is finally over for Nvidia enthusiasts as the first wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards becomes available for preorder starting at 6am PT on January 30. Kicking off the lineup are the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti slated for release later in February.

Be prepared for a scramble on launch day, as initial stocks are likely to sell out within minutes due to high demand and the interference of bots that snap up GPUs for resale at inflated prices. If you're ready and fortunate enough to find one in stock, don't hesitate to purchase. Alternatively, consider prebuilt PCs equipped with the RTX 5090, which may remain available longer, albeit at a premium.

Where should I preorder a RTX 5090 or 5080 GPU?

Various retailers have listed RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards for sale, though the availability of units is uncertain. To maximize your chances of securing one on launch day, it's advisable to check each retailer and proceed with the first available option that allows you to complete checkout. Here's a breakdown of the benefits of checking different retailers:

Best Buy

Best Buy is likely to be one of the best options for purchasing an RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 online, particularly the Founder's Edition. They currently list only FE and Gigabyte models, but expect more from Asus, MSI, and Zotac to be added soon. Stock availability varies by region, so if you're in an area with lower demand, your chances improve. Best Buy's preorders typically ship quickly or are available for in-store pickup, ensuring you get your card within days.

Newegg

Newegg is another prime destination, offering the widest selection of AIB RTX 5090 and 5080 models from third-party manufacturers. They list 43 different models from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac, though stock isn't guaranteed. As an authorized reseller, you'll get the full manufacturer's warranty when buying directly from Newegg. They also offer bundle kits, which can be advantageous if you're building a PC and need additional components.

Nvidia Store

The Nvidia Store might seem like the obvious choice, but the sought-after Founder's Edition often sells out instantly. However, loyal Nvidia customers might receive special invites based on past registrations or notifications through GeForce Experience or the Nvidia app, as was the case with the RTX 40-series.

Amazon

Amazon is a one-stop shop, but finding a GPU here can be challenging due to the lack of a centralized listing and the presence of marketplace vendors with high prices or scams. Always ensure you're buying directly from Amazon to avoid issues.

We reviewed the RTX 5090 FE and 5080 FE GPUs

The Nvidia 50 series GPUs were unveiled at CES 2025, with a focus on enhanced AI features over traditional raster performance. DLSS 4 technology promises to quadruple frame rates with minimal visual impact. 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. For traditional non-AI gaming, the RTX 5090's generational uplift is minimal. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 delivers significant performance gains, though 75% of the frames are AI-generated."

Jackie echoed similar sentiments in the RTX 5080 FE review, stating, "If you own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be compelling due to its modest performance lead over the RTX 4080. However, DLSS 4's Multi-Frame Generation enhances gameplay in supported titles. For gamers with older cards looking for a significant upgrade, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're comfortable with Nvidia's AI features."
