NVIDIA has just rolled out the red carpet for its new RTX 50 series GPUs, introducing the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models to the gaming world. You can now grab these powerhouses from NVIDIA and its partners on popular sites like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, though availability might be hit or miss.
Partnership Rollouts from ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ZOTAC, and Others
Starting today, you can find the high-end GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 from NVIDIA on store shelves after a brief wait post-CES announcement. With the reviews finally available, NVIDIA has given the green light for the retail launch, so you can start planning your upgrade.
Besides NVIDIA’s own offerings, companies like ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ZOTAC have been busy cooking up their custom RTX 5090 and 5080 designs. These GPUs are distributed globally, and for those in North America, you’ll find them on major online retailers like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy.
Here’s a look at the various GeForce RTX 5090 models you can purchase on Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, along with their price tags:
- ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition: Newegg, Best Buy ($2799.99)
- ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 OC: Newegg ($1999.99), Best Buy ($1999.99)
- ZOTAC AMP Extreme INFINITY GeForce RTX 5090: Newegg, Best Buy
- MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Suprim: Newegg, Best Buy ($2399.99)
- …and more!
When it comes to raw power, the GeForce RTX 5090 reigns supreme among NVIDIA’s gaming GPUs. Compared to the RTX 4090, this beast is about 30% faster. It starts at $1999 for the Founders Edition and packs a punch with specs like the GB202 die, 21760 Cuda Cores, 32 GB GDDR7 memory, and a 512-bit bus. It’s rated at a 575W TGP for the FE edition and, with boosted clock speeds in custom editions, expect those numbers—and power needs—to climb higher.
Now let’s talk business with the GeForce RTX 5080. Here’s a list of models ready for you on Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, together with pricing details:
- ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition: Newegg, Best Buy ($1499.99)
- ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC: Newegg ($1349.99), Best Buy
- ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 AMP Extreme: Newegg ($1249.99), Best Buy
- MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Suprim SOC: Newegg ($1279.99), Best Buy ($1249.99)
- …and more!
The RTX 5080 follows as the second-fiercest GPU in the RTX 50 lineup, taking over from the RTX 4080. Pricing for the Founders Edition begins at $999, equipped with the GB203 die, 10752 Cuda Cores, and 16 GB GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus. It features a 360W TGP and comes clocking in at 2617 MHz—a faster base speed compared to even the RTX 5090. And with custom editions, expect those speeds to scale even higher.
The buzz isn’t just about performance; it’s about snagging one before they’re gone. The demand is forecasted to be sky-high, and NVIDIA has cautioned about limited stocks in the near term. As noted by several retailers, restocks will trickle in over the forthcoming weeks, so plan accordingly if you’re hoping to secure one of these next-gen graphics cards.
With release announcements flooding Twitter, from Newegg to Micro Center and Overclockers UK, it’s clear that while scoring one will be tough, you’re in for a treat if you manage it. Good luck out there, and may the frame rates be ever in your favor!
