For those eager to get their hands on the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards, you can start preordering from January 30. However, Adorama has already opened preorders for several pre-built gaming desktop PCs equipped with these powerful GPUs. This presents a unique opportunity to secure one of these highly anticipated GPUs, especially since they are expected to be in high demand. Adorama lists a ship date of February 11, but it's wise to approach this estimate with caution.
The Nvidia 50 series GPUs were unveiled at CES 2025, with a significant focus on enhanced AI features rather than traditional hardware-based raster performance. The new DLSS 4 technology promises to quadruple frame rates with minimal visual compromise. While these GPUs do offer a performance boost, opinions are divided on their value for PC gamers compared to the previous RTX 40 series.

The RTX 5090 is set to be Nvidia's new flagship GPU, surpassing the RTX 4090. These pre-built desktops come at a premium, with prices significantly higher than those of RTX 4090-equipped systems, which typically range from $3,500 to $4,000. The increased cost is justified by the RTX 5090's expected $400 higher retail price over the RTX 4090.
In our review, Jacqueline 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."

The RTX 5080 will be the second most powerful GPU in Nvidia's new lineup. While our review is still pending, based on Nvidia's pricing and specifications, we expect its performance to fall between the RTX 4080/4080 Super and the 4090. With 10,752 CUDA cores and new GDDR7 memory, this GPU offers a notable upgrade. Starting at around $2,300, these pre-built systems are competitively priced compared to those with an RTX 4080 Super.
