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. The top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launch first, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February. Be warned: stock is expected to be extremely limited, and bots are likely to snatch up many cards. Act fast if you want to secure one! Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer a more reliable, albeit pricier, alternative.

Where to Preorder:

The retailers listed above offer the RTX 5090 and 5080, but availability is uncertain. Check each site frequently and proceed to checkout immediately if you find a card in stock. Competition will be fierce.

Retailer Breakdown:

• Best Buy: Often a good option for Founder's Edition cards, with relatively quick shipping. Inventory varies by region.
• Newegg: Offers the widest selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards, but bundles might be your best bet if standalone cards sell out quickly. Buy directly from Newegg, not marketplace vendors, for warranty protection.
• Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are usually scarce here. Consider registering for notifications.
• Amazon: Difficult to navigate; prioritize purchases directly from Amazon, avoiding marketplace sellers.
• Adorama & B&H Photo: May have stock, but shipping times can be lengthy.
• Micro Center: Your best in-store option if you live nearby; expect long lines.

IGN Reviews:

Our reviews highlight impressive AI performance (DLSS 4) but relatively modest gains in traditional gaming compared to the RTX 40-series. The RTX 5090 surpasses the 4090 in performance, while the RTX 5080 offers a significant upgrade for users with older cards. The value proposition depends on your existing hardware and reliance on AI-enhanced features.
