Where to buy RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 — live updates and stock checker

Here's where to get Nvidia's most powerful GPUs yet!

Find stock in your region

The wait is over: The Nvidia Geforce RTX 5090 and its brawny little brother the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 are finally on sale!

Demand is high, stock is low and price tags are hefty. The RTX 5090 costs $1,999 (£1,939), while the RTX 5080 has an MSRP of $999 (£979). However, I'll repeat what I said in my hands-on impressions: if you're upgrading from anything like the 10, 20 or 30 series, the uplifts are mind-blowing.

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride as people around the world try and (sometimes) fail to lay hands on one of these hot new graphics cards. There was an initial stampede when orders first opened, and stock was wiped out at a lot of major retailers within minutes.

While the rush has died down, RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 systems are still in limited stock, and it appears prices are getting higher at Asus and MSI stores. While you may have to hunt for the specific card you want, if you just want a PC with one of these beasts inside, there are still lots of opportunities to order one.

We want to make sure you’ve got the best chance possible to pick up one of these GPUs when and where they're available, so we're updating this live blog with stock info as we find it!

RTX 5090: $1,999 at Amazon

We expect Amazon to have standalone RTX 5090 cards as well as prebuilt PCs with RTX 5090 cards inside. There's no signs of preorders yet, but once they go live you'll have to act fast as this retailer tends to sell out.

One of the obvious places to look will be Nvidia itself. The company will have stock of its Founder's Edition GPU, but don't get it twisted — these will be hard to get.

From Gigabyte and MSI to Zotac and Asus, CCL is packed to the gills with RTX 5090 card options. This is a good one to keep in mind.

RTX 50-series laptops will be available to pre-order starting February 25!

We've seen a lot of exciting RTX 50-series gaming laptops confirmed at CES 2025, and now we've got confirmation that they are going to be available to pre-order from February 25.

And if the pricing of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI is anything to go by, we can expect pricing for the mid-rangers to start at the $1,500 mark. I know Nvidia says starting price $1,299, but I'm dubious we'll ever see something get that cheap until a big sales event later in the year.

RTX 5090$2,89924GB GDDR7
RTX 5080$2,19916GB GDDR7
RTX 5070 Ti$1,59912GB GDDR7
RTX 5070$1,2998GB GDDR7

I know we cover the best gaming laptops, and any on that list now are worth buying. But if you want the latest and greatest, I recommend waiting for a couple weeks now!

Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti GPUs are on their way

As you might expect, RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs are still hard to grab, with stock still being non-existent at retailers. In fact, Overclockers UK even stated it could be up to four months until they see RTX 5090 graphics cards available. If you're still having no luck with these high-end GPUs, the upcoming RTX 5070 Ti could be a better option.

Thanks to listings from major French retailer Top Achat, the RTX 5070 Ti GPU is now expected to launch on February 20 at 3 p.m. CET local time (9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. GMT). Nvidia notes RTX 5070 Ti models will arrive in February, and now we have a better idea of when they will be made available.

While not as powerful as its RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 counterparts, at least it still comes with 16GB GDDR7 VRAM like the 5080. As per Nvidia's official pricing, the RTX 5070 Ti starts at $749 / £729. While we wait for more RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs to become available, you may want to check out RTX 5070 Ti models, too.

RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs see a massive price increase

We've seen scalpers raise prices of Nvidia's latest graphics cards, but now it appears official stores are bumping up retail prices — even after launch day.

RTX 5090 GPU prices are now $1,400 over Nvidia's official asking price, with an RTX 5090 Asus ROG Astral LC GPU now retailing at a whopping $3,409. At launch, it cost $3,099, which means it's seen a $300 price increase in just a week.

MSI's official store is also seeing price hikes, with RTX 5080 units such as the MSI RTX 5080 VENTUS seeing a $140 hike, now costing $1,139. To note, these GPUs are all out of stock, but you may have to prepare to pay more for specific RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs once they become available again.

Limited availability

At the time of writing, Nvidia has posted a listing of several sites where you can buy an RTX 5090. Right now, it seems Micro Center has a few extra GPUs in stock. Given the limited availability of this GPU, we suggest snatching one right now. Just be aware that some options are listed for much higher than the base $1,999.

Stock still non-existent

As we creep into the weekend, one thing's for sure: you can't find the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics cards anywhere outside of paying over MSRP from scalpers. As of this post, the cheapest person on eBay who lists having an RTX 5090 in hand is asking for more than $5,000. As we said in our last post, we don't encourage supporting scalpers.

If you absolutely can't wait to get your hands on the RTX cards, keep checking back with this live page, as we'll update you if they come into stock anywhere, though at this point, we're not overly optimistic.

Please (I beg of you) don't buy from scalpers

Senior News Editor Dave LeClair has the full scoop. Given how highly in demand the RTX 5090 is right now, it's no surprise that scalpers are on the hunt for a profit. What surprises me, though, is just how much people are asking for them.

Pure daylight robbery can be found, as scalpers are looking for upwards of $7,000 for the GPU.

Nvidia has said they're making more every day, so please wait, and do not bankrupt yourself for the sake of an RTX graphics card.

Adorama has a fun party trick...showing you an RTX 3090 whenever you search for 5090

In the heat of the moment, when searching for "RTX 5090" on Adorama, you may get excited at the fact you can add whatever comes up to cart.

But not so fast — this is an RTX 3090. Do not buy it.

Overclockers in the UK have a promotional banner that appears under their GPU listings.

As you can see, some did go online this morning, and they show as little as two RTX 5090s being sold today, but yet being sold out.

...It's tough out there!

STOCK ALERT: Alienware Area-51 gaming desktops available to buy

Dell's still in this, but be prepared to pay a lot! In fact, I know this is technically a "stock alert," but to pay from $4,500 for an RTX 5080 desktop is bonkers.

If your wallet can handle it and you really want one, Alienware machines are considered some of the best in the business, and you can pick one up here.

STOCK ALERT: Pre-built RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 PCs now available

Stock is still there for pre-built machines packing these new GPUs. Computing Editor Darragh Murphy has the full story.

15 minutes...

As we've been saying, signs are pointing towards B&H Photo & Video stocking some RTX 5080s and RTX 5090s at 9am ET.

We'll be keeping an eye out elsewhere too, to see if others come into stock too. Good luck!

DLSS 4 is a real upgrade

Cyberpunk 2077

(Image credit: Future)

Since our testing, CD Projekt Red has rolled out an update for Cyberpunk 2077, introducing DLSS 4. When we conducted our benchmarks, multi-frame generation wasn’t available yet. Even so, the performance gains over DLSS 3.5 are undeniably impressive.

Swipe to scroll horizontally
Cyberpunk 2077 settingsRTX 5090 performance (frames per second)
4K Ultra (no DLSS)57.32
4K Ultra (DLSS 3.5 frame generation)97.6
4K Ultra (DLSS 4 frame generation123.06

So as you can see, moving from that convolutional neural network to the transformer model is making it smarter and more efficient in boosting frame rates!

T-minus 2 hours until the next stock launch

So far, we know that B&H Photo look set to stock it at 9am ET / 6am PT. Meanwhile in the UK, there's no clear confirmation if anyone will go on sale today. If I was to put on my betting hat, eBuyer is looking likely to go at 2pm GMT.

So the RTX 40-series price cut has not happened (yet)

Demand for the 50-series is high and stock disappears every time we share links to their availability (most are now on backorder). So it should come as no surprise that while RTX 4080 and 4090 are widely available, prices have not come down.

People are seeking out RTX GPUs at all costs, and seen that pretty much all DLSS 4 features are coming to these older cards (bar multi frame gen). But to still see 4080s at nearly $2,000 is obscene!

Please do not buy a 40-series card until they come down in price to below the cost of 50-series.

Wait... $300 off an RTX 5080 pre-built PC!?

...you're seeing what I'm seeing, right? I'm not sure whether this is an oversized MSRP to make up for it, but Newegg has $300 off an RTX 5080 pre-built PC.

The specs are good — Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, that new GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD — all on a stellar Wi-Fi Z890 motherboard with 360mm AIO liquid cooling. Plus, you've got Civilization VII and Assassin's Creed Shadows available in a free gift with your purchase.

RTX 5080 pre-built PCs are available for pre-order on Amazon US!

We've been waiting for it to happen, but the RTX 50-series is finally on Amazon...sort of. Skytech Gaming are selling pre-built PCs with RTX 5080. With the latest AMD and Intel CPUs, these are sure to be futureproofed for a good long while.

  • SkyTech Chronos (AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD): $2,499 @ Amazon
  • SkyTech Chronos (Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD): $2,699 @ Amazon

It's day two — more stock to come TODAY

RTX 50 series GPUs

(Image credit: Future)

Good morning! If you managed to get your RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 yesterday, share the good news with me (I'm on BlueSky and X). But if you didn't, there's another chance today to get one.

So far, we know that B&H Photo look set to stock it at 9am ET / 6am PT. Meanwhile in the UK, there's no clear confirmation if anyone will go on sale today. If I was to put on my betting hat, eBuyer is looking likely to go at 2pm GMT.

As usual, we'll keep you going on wherever we see stock, and I'll do everything I can to make sure you get one for your build!

More RTX 5090s will go on sale next week

If you missed out on getting your hands on one of Nvidia's new $2k graphics cards when they first went on sale, good news! B&H confirms that some RTX 5090s will drop at 9am tomorrow, and others on Thursday February 6, so there will be more stock coming soon!

Don't miss out on the Marketplace

If you're still looking for a new graphics card, don't miss out on the Nvidia Marketplace!

It's a great place to keep tabs on pricing and stock for these hot, hot GPUs. I just checked and at noon on launch day I'm still seeing a good number of RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 GPUs in stock!

Don't forget the RTX 5070s are coming

If you're stressing about getting your hands on a $2,000 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card today, don't — Nvidia will keep making and selling them as long as demand keeps up, and those of us who can't afford this beast have its smaller siblings to look forward to next month.

That's right, Nvidia's planning to roll out the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 GPUs in February, and the company has now revealed the full RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 specs. They look pretty powerful, too, so don't lose heart if you can't score a 5080 or 5090 this week!

These graphics cards aren't just for gaming

PDF to podcast

(Image credit: Future)

The Nvidia RTX 5090 and 5080 are officially available, and as stock counts refresh at retailers across the country I just wanted to remind you that you can do more with these beefy GPUs than just game.

Nvidia has built a couple of cool tools you can use all that power for, including RTX Chat (which lets you train a chatbot on your local data) and PDF to Podcast, which scans a document and generates a podcast about it with multiple AI-generated hosts.

With the RTX 5090 here, that process took around 15 seconds for a 250-page document-pretty wild! Download the GitHub now if you want to give it a go.

Don't forget, GeForce NOW is free for a few weeks for existing subscribers!

Don't forget: If you're an existing GeForce Now subscriber, you can game for free for a few weeks!

That's because Nvidia is changing up its payment systems by ditching its third-party payment provider and handling the transactions in-house. That means you can't make any changes to your current account for the next five weeks, but the upside is Nvidia isn't billing you either!

Here's what to expect from the RTX 5090

RTX 5090

Now that the floodgates have opened and people are racing to buy the new Geforce RTX 50-series GPUs, I thought it'd be a good time to remind you what kind of power these cards deliver.

We've already had a chance to run our first benchmarks on the GeForce RTX 5090 Nvidia sent us, and as you can see from our results we saw a roughly 22-23% average increase in game frames per second (FPS) over the 4090, which is was the best of the best until today.

That's nothing to sneeze at, and it helps take some of the sticker shock out of the card's $1,999 asking price. Some are still on sale right now, so check out the links below!
