NVIDIA has officially rolled out its latest RTX 50 series graphics cards, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, and they’re now up for grabs. You can snag these cutting-edge GPUs, made by NVIDIA and various board partners, at major retailers like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, though stock might be limited.
Custom GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Available from ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ZOTAC, and Others
Today marks the launch of NVIDIA’s flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and its high-end sibling, the RTX 5080. These graphics cards, which made their debut at CES, had been under wraps due to an embargo covering both reviews and retail release. With that embargo now lifted, they are ready for purchase, with reviews revealing what you can expect from these powerful GPUs.
Joining NVIDIA in this release are several well-known board partners, including ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ZOTAC, all of whom have developed custom designs for these new cards. These GPUs are now hitting distributors and retailers worldwide, and for those in North America, you’ll find them at popular online stores such as Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy.
Here’s a rundown of the GeForce RTX 5090 models you can find on Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, along with their prices:
- ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition: Available at Newegg and Best Buy for $2,799.99
- ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 OC: Priced at $1,999.99 on both Newegg and Best Buy
- ZOTAC AMP Extreme INFINITY GeForce RTX 5090: Available at Newegg and Best Buy
- MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Suprim Liquid SOC: Newegg lists it at $2,539.99, Best Buy at $2,499.99
(And many more models with their corresponding prices.)
The GeForce RTX 5090 is NVIDIA’s speediest gaming GPU to date. It outpaces the RTX 4090 by approximately 30% and starts with a base price of $1,999. It features the GB202 die, sporting 21,760 CUDA cores, 32 GB GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, and has a power rating of 575W for the Founders Edition. While the Founders Edition peaks at a 2407 MHz boost clock, the custom versions could offer even higher boost clocks and, consequently, greater power demands.
For those interested in the RTX 5080, here are the models and prices available on Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy:
- ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition: Available for $1,499.99 on Newegg and Best Buy
- ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC: Priced at $1,349.99 on Newegg
- ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5080: Offered at $999.99 on Newegg and Best Buy
(Many other models and their prices are also listed.)
The RTX 5080 claims the spot as the second-fastest gaming GPU in the RTX 50 lineup, taking over from the RTX 4080, and is priced at $999 for its Founders Edition. It comes with the GB203 die, 10,752 CUDA cores, 16 GB GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, and a total power rating of 360W. Notably, its boost clock of 2617 MHz surpasses that of the RTX 5090, with custom editions offering even higher boosts thanks to NVIDIA’s partners.
You might want to act fast, though. NVIDIA has already anticipated high demand for both the RTX 5090 and 5080, and availability might be an issue as supply is initially limited. So, if you’re planning to upgrade, it might be wise to keep an eye on restocks in the coming weeks.
