Where to Preorder:

Securing a card on launch day requires persistence. Check multiple retailers frequently. Prioritize those with a history of quicker shipping.

• Best Buy: Often a good option for Founder's Edition cards and generally fast shipping. Inventory varies by region.
• Newegg: Largest selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Check for bundles if standalone cards are unavailable. Buy only from Newegg directly, not marketplace vendors.
• Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are typically hard to find here, but consider registering for notifications.
• Amazon: Difficult to navigate for GPU searches. Only buy from Amazon directly to avoid inflated prices and scams.
• Adorama & B&H Photo: Offer AIB cards and pre-built PCs, but shipping times may be longer.
• Micro Center: Best in-store option for local customers; expect lines.

IGN Reviews:

Our reviews highlight the RTX 5090 and 5080's improved AI features (DLSS 4) delivering significant performance gains in compatible games, but traditional gaming performance improvements are modest compared to the RTX 40 series. The upgrade is more compelling for users of older hardware.
