Where to buy RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti GPUs — live updates and restock checker
Here's where to get Nvidia's latest RTX 50-series GPUs!
After a huge sell-out last month, we're starting to see the first restocks of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070.
Not only that, but with widening availability, these GPUs are starting to become available a lot closer to/at retail prices — rather than the scalped options you saw in the weeks immediately following the first stock drop.
In the US, we're seeing availability pop up at Best Buy, starting at $549. Meanwhile in the UK, we're actually seeing a discount on the 5070, taking it down to £509 at Overclockers.
So if you missed the initial chaos of buying one, there's a still a chance! We're updating this live blog with stock info as we find it!
Oh, and by the way, if you're looking for an RTX 50-series laptop, we've got a live blog covering stock over here!

STOCK ALERT: CCL has the cheapest RTX 5080 you can buy right now
I will warn you now, this is not close to that £979 MSRP for RTX 5080. But if you're super keen to grab one, Gigabyte's RTX 5080 OC with triple fan cooling is £1,244. That's the lowest price on this level of card across the UK.
RTX 5090 by the numbers
I understand the first thing on everyone’s mind is evaluating the improvements in rendering performance without relying on AI enhancements. Nvidia has heavily emphasized terms like “DLSS” and “neural,” which has led many of our readers to question just how much of the progress comes down to raw processing power alone.
To answer this question, our first benchmarks focused on this, and you're looking at a roughly 22-23% average increase in game frames per second (FPS) over the 4090.
Game benchmark | RTX 5090 (FPS) | RTX 4090 (FPS) | % difference |
Cyberpunk 2077 (4K Ray Tracing: Ultra) | 57.32 | 41.11 | 28.28% |
Borderlands 3 (4K Ultra) | 176.28 | 130.76 | 25.82% |
DiRT 5 (4K Ultra) | 227.6 | 185.8 | 18.37% |
Far Cry 6 (4K Ultra) | 161 | 109 | 32.30% |
Shadow of the Tomb Raider (4K Ultra) | 166 | 129 | 22.29% |
This pretty sweet combo of GPU and cooler is decent value for money!
GPU prices are going up, and we're on the search for any 50-series cards that come down closer to MSRP. Luckily, there is one that is sort of close. Let me explain.
Newegg's bundle of an RTX 5070 and Liquid cooler from MSI means you can keep the whole system nice and thermally regulated, and it comes in at a pretty decent price of $759.
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5070 available at Best Buy
The Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5070 OC Edition card with its triple fan cooling is on-sale at Best Buy for $739. That's quite a bit over that $549 MSRP Nvidia put in place, but you are getting overclocking capabilities and that additional cooling.
STOCK ALERT: A cheaper RTX 5080 has appeared on Scan
The wait is long (you can pre-order now for delivery on April 30th), but you can pick up an RTX 5080 for £1,099 from Scan right now. That's the closest to MSRP I've seen, and it comes as an overclockable card too.
STOCK ALERT: this is the cheapest RTX 5070 build I've seen so far!
Normally, RTX 50-series pre-builds are arriving with quite a price premium. But AWD-IT doesn't seem to have got the memo, as they're selling a pretty impressive RTX 5070 rig for just £949.
It packs the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD.
What impact will the tariffs have?
We're talking about GPUs available at prices close to MSRP right now, but what if that MSRP goes up? Nvidia's GPUs are currently manufactured in Taiwan, and today, President Donald Trump has just announced a 32% tariff on the country.
Kimberly Gedeon has taken a look into what these tariffs could actually do — asking experts what the impact could be. Spoiler alert: higher value goods usually have a big profit margin baked in, and it'll be the cheaper goods that are hit the hardest.
This could mean the RTX 5070 may see a bump up in cost. That's a problem.
That being said, though, companies know full well that the way to get around this tariff is to start manufacturing in America, and Nvidia has committed to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the U.S. supply chain.
However, to move a massive operation like TSMC and massive manufacturing to another country takes a lot longer than four years — creating more uncertainty and seeing companies possibly sitting on the fence to see whether they need to jump now or wait it out.
One thing I am almost positive of, though, is that prices look set to go up soon in the short term, and that will hurt consumers.
STOCK ALERT: More RTX 5070s and 5080s at Best Buy
Kind of a bad news/good news situation. The good news is that there is an RTX 5070 available at MSRP. The bad news that the 5080 is still quite a bit over that MSRP. The cheapest one on there is $1,484.
What about the laptops?
The cheapest one we've seen is a tempting one to say the least! The MSI Vector 16 HX AI with RTX 5070 Ti is available for $1,599 at Newegg.
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5070 from £589 at Currys
That's a little bit over RRP, but only by 40 quid. If you can absorb that cost, the Palit GeForce RTX 5070 is yours!
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5070 available for RRP in UK
Zotac's overclockable RTX 5070 is now available for £539 over at Overclockers!
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5070 for $549 at Best Buy
If you're quick, you can get an overclockable RTX 5070 from Best Buy for MSRP!
STOCK ALERT: 50-series GPUs available at Micro Center
If you live near a Micro Center, there is stock available at MSRP!
Is the Ti Tax worth it over RTX 5070? I tested it myself
You may be looking at the spec differences between 5070 and 5070 Ti and asking one question: do I need the extra power?
The answer is complicated, so I went into it with two top builds from PC Specialist to see if you need to splurge or whether you can save yourself some money.
Spoiler alert: If you're multiplayer gaming and that super low latency is important without frame gen, then 5070 Ti is worthwhile. For the deep single player experiences, the horsepower of the 5070 is enough.
STOCK ALERT: The cheapest RTX 5080 in the UK is selling fast
The Palit RTX 5080 is available at £999 right now over on Overclockers.
STOCK ALERT: Pre-built RTX 5070 Ti PC deal with $200 off!
Newegg's got the ABS Aeolian-M Aqua gaming pc with RTX 5070 Ti, Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF, 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD. Was $2.499 now $2.299!
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5080 available at Best Buy
The overclockable TUF Gaming 5080 is coming in at $1,484. That's quite a ways over the initial MSRP, but we've been hearing all kinds of tariff talk impacting pricing.
STOCK ALERT: More RTX 5070s are appearing
Not only are more GPUs becoming available, but they're available at retail price (no scalping)!
