The highly anticipated Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards are set to launch on January 30th. However, concerns are mounting regarding potential shortages. Reports from various retailers and manufacturers indicate limited initial stock.
With eager buyers already lining up, the RTX 5090 ($1,999) and RTX 5080 ($999) are expected to be incredibly popular, despite their premium pricing. Manufacturer MSI attributes the initial scarcity to the Lunar New Year, anticipating stock levels to improve in February.

Retailers like Overclockers UK have confirmed extremely limited RTX 5090 stock, reporting only single-digit quantities. PowerGPU echoed these concerns, predicting severe availability issues for the RTX 5090 launch.
In response to the growing anxiety, Nvidia representative Tim@Nvidia issued a statement acknowledging the anticipated high demand and potential for stock-outs. The company assures consumers that additional stock is being shipped daily.
Despite Nvidia's statement, the limited supply is likely to fuel price gouging by scalpers. eBay already features pre-sale listings for the RTX 5090, with one Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090 listed at a staggering $5,750 – a significant markup of 187% over the MSRP.
Adding to Nvidia's challenges, the company's share price experienced a substantial drop (16.86%) following the announcement of the DeepSeek AI model, raising concerns about the future of Nvidia's datacenter GPU sales. This development adds another layer of complexity to the company's current situation.
