The wait is over! Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards are available for preorder, starting at 6 AM PT on January 30th. Leading the charge are the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti models following in February.
Be warned: Launch-day stock is expected to vanish quickly. Retailers anticipate shortages, and bots are likely to snatch up large quantities for resale at inflated prices. If you're ready to buy, don't hesitate! Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer better availability, though at a premium.
