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), and 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 today 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.

But now the rush has died down and RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 systems are still available for purchase if you've got the cash. 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's 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.

I've seen pages for RTX 5090 cards from the likes of Asus and MSI. Additionally, Newegg is letting you trade-in your old GPU for a credit you can use toward the purchase of your new RTX 5090. A card like the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3080 10GB can fetch you around $321.

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

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

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!

Now that's not to say that those showing "sold out" won't be back with more stock. But in terms of who to wait for, I'd keep my eye very closely on the bottom 3 for the next few hours and tomorrow.

Overclockers UK is out of stock

Overclockers website has been problematic over the past 20 minutes, and now we know why. The pages are finally loading and turns out you were all rather hungry. Stock is now gone.

Scan UK still has stock remaining

UK stocking is looking pretty dire if you wanted to secure yours today, all except for one place. Scan still has some available!

All the stock is gone?

Just doing a final search around, and it's looking like retailers are either showing "out of stock" or "coming soon" (in anticipation of another drop). Give me a minute to check the final few to confirm.

Here's a taste of the over 75 games packing DLSS 4 tech

Cyberpunk 2077

(Image credit: Future)

I've already tried some of them, including Cyberpunk 2077 bringing multi frame generation, super resolution and ray reconstruction to hit 4K at over 240 FPS. On top of that, I got to see Black Myth: Wukong (multi frame gen coming soon) and Black State (coming soon), but here are a few more games Nvidia has confirmed will pack DLSS 4.

  • Alan Wake 2: This is a big one, as it'll be the first game to support RTX Mega Geometry, to drastically increase the amount of detail in its graphics.
  • Hogwarts Legacy: Much like Cyberpunk, this is getting the multi frame gen/super resolution/ray reconstruction trifecta.
  • Star Wars Outlaws: Improving the way video memory is used in such a hungry game is needed — Nvidia's DLSS multi frame gen comes to Star Wars.
  • Doom: The Dark Ages: We saw this at Nvidia's event at CES 2025, and of course it's getting all the DLSS 4 goodness.
  • Spider-Man 2: On day one, Spider-Man 2 is getting DLSS 4 with multi frame gen. I can't wait to swing around at 4K over 200 FPS.

Other honorable mentions include Marvel Rivals, Indiana Jones and the Great circle and Naraka: Bladepoint — all getting multi frame gen soon.

BREAKING: B&H selling some RTX 5090s tomorrow and more next week

You'll have another shot tomorrow if you're missing stocking today. B&H confirms that some RTX 5090s will drop at 9am tomorrow, and others on Thursday February 6

If you're close to a Micro Center, they've got RTX 50-series GPUs available to collect in-store.

Scan's the place to go in UK right now!

While Overclockers is crashing and Box seems to have boxed out, Scan has stock and it's running fine!

RTX 5080 + 1000-watt power supply currently going for $1,700 at Newegg. That extra PSU space is important for running GPU at full output.

Nvidia is dropping a new GeForce Game Ready Driver for RTX 50-series

If you've managed to bag an RTX 5090 or 5080, there will be a new GeForce Game Ready Driver for you to install that unlocks some of the key DLSS 4 features coming to the biggest titles (more on those soon).

On top of that, there will be DLSS 4 Overrides — allowing you to brute force DLSS 4 features into certain titles. Nvidia Broadcast will get two new AI-powered effects, and a new Nvidia app update will enhance RTX video super resolution, give you new multiple display settings and a whole lot more.

Downloading this is essential.

NO WAIT! Some must have dropped out of shopping carts. 5090 back at Best Buy.

How much more will third-party GPUs be?

MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series cards at CES 2025

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

It's a good question I'm being asked a lot. The Founder's Edition GPUs from Nvidia itself will set you back $999 (£979) for RTX 5080 and $1,999 (£1,939) for the 5090. But Asus, MSI, Gigabyte and more are getting in on building their own versions.

These usually come with different ways to cool the card and can come with a higher cost. For example, the PALIT 5080 is going for £1,149 at Currys. My advice would be to anticipate a price increase of around $200/£150 upwards for these alternative versions.

5 minutes to go

Whether you're going for the MSI card you see above, any of Asus' options, or Nvidia's Founder's Edition original, they will all be dropping very soon.

I'll keep on top of stocking, and all I can do is wish you all the best of luck with your purchases. Let us know if you get one!

DLSS 4 is a real upgrade

Cyberpunk 2077

(Image credit: Future)

Since we posted our testing, CD Projekt Red issued its update to Cyberpunk 2077 that brings DLSS 4 into the mix. At the time of testing, multi frame generation was not available.

But even with that in mind, the numbers are mightily impressive over the older DLSS 3.5.

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!

RTX 5090 testing reveals big gains

I know many of you are eager to assess the improvements in rendering performance without leaning on AI-powered enhancements. Nvidia’s heavy focus on buzzwords like “DLSS” and “neural” has sparked plenty of questions among our readers about how much of the gains are purely the result of raw processing power.

To address this, we centered our initial benchmarks on this aspect. The results? You’re looking at an average 22-23% increase in game frames per second (FPS) compared to the 4090.

Uh oh — Nvidia confirms that "stock-outs may happen."

To the surprise of absolutely no-one, Nvidia is warning customers that there is going to be "significant demand" of the RTX 5090 and 5080 — warning that "stock-outs may happen."

In a follow-up warning, PC manufacturer PowerGPU has told its followers on X that "the RTX 5090 will be the worst" for availability, and that it will be this way "for the first 3 months."

On a more positive note, Nvidia does note that it will be "shipping more stock to retail every day." So if you do miss the first wave, the likelihood of getting one will improve as we get further into the year.

Tip #2: Create an account and pre-save your payment details

RTX 50 series

All to often I see a lot of people fall at the last hurdle of buying a high-demand product because they didn't set up a store account before.

Whether it's Newegg, Best Buy or anyone else, take the time now to setup an account and pre-fill in all your payment and address details. That way, everything is saved and you can just click through all of this — instead of trying to feverishly type it out while the stock drains away.

Tip #1: Start refreshing a few minutes before

RTX 50 series

(Image credit: Best Buy)

The first tip comes from the last time I had to join a rush to buy a GPU. Given the timing of this launch seems particularly strict, then the queueing system should start at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm GMT on the dot.

If that's the case, it pays to start refreshing the product page of your chosen GPU a few minutes before — that way you can hopefully be one of the first to see that "coming soon" button change to "add to cart."

30 minutes until they launch

We'll be sharing tips and advice on how to secure yours when they are available to buy at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm GMT. But first thing's first, when it comes to retailers to go for, these are the ones I trust. Keep these loaded in the chamber.
