NVIDIA has just rolled out its first two GPUs from the RTX 50 series—namely, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080—and they are now up for grabs. These cutting-edge graphics cards, crafted by NVIDIA and partnered brands, are available through popular online retailers like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, assuming they’re not out of stock already.
ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ZOTAC, and several others have jumped in with their customized GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 cards. NVIDIA unveiled these heavyweights back at CES, and after a period when both review and sales embargos were in place, the cards are finally at our fingertips. The embargo lift means you can now not only read about them but also get your hands on them.
Besides NVIDIA’s own offerings, leading partners including ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ZOTAC have developed their unique takes on the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. These freshly minted GPUs are making their way to retailers around the globe. For those in North America, the cards are accessible through major online shopping platforms like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy.
Here’s a quick peek at the GeForce RTX 5090 options available on Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy along with their prices:
– ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition: Available on Newegg and Best Buy for $2799.99

The GeForce RTX 5090 takes the crown as NVIDIA’s fastest gaming GPU to date, claiming to be about 30% quicker than its predecessor, the RTX 4090. It comes with a starting MSRP of $1999. This beast of a card houses the GB202 die, 21,760 CUDA Cores, 32 GB of GDDR7 memory tied to a 512-bit bus, and pulls 575 watts of TGP in the Founders Edition. Custom models might push those power limits even further, by boasting higher boost clocks right out of the box.
Now, let’s turn our attention to the GeForce RTX 5080 models available through Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, along with their respective prices:
– ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition: Priced at $1499.99 on both Newegg and Best Buy

– Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 WindForce OC SFF: $999.99 at Newegg and Best Buy
– And a host of other models from leading manufacturers
The GeForce RTX 5080 is positioned just behind the RTX 5090, nudging out the previous RTX 4080 with its $999 price for the Founders Edition. This GPU is equipped with a GB203 die, 10,752 CUDA Cores, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, and operates at 360W. Interestingly, its boost clock of 2617 MHz surpasses that of the RTX 5090 and even goes higher with custom models from NVIDIA’s partners.
Social media is buzzing with excitement about these releases, with updates and alerts coming from Newegg, Micro Center, Overclockers UK, and Scan Computers, letting gamers know when to grab these sought-after cards.
However, if you’re eyeing one of these next-gen gaming marvels, act fast. NVIDIA has confirmed that initial availability will be tight due to anticipated massive demand. Retailers are bracing for limited stock levels, which are expected to gradually improve over the following weeks.
