- NVIDIA’s RTX 5080 and 5090 startup was just like the rumored prognosis
- The stock was lightweight and really sold out very quickly
- There were queues, inevitable flame for graphic processors of the next generation and even chaotic scenes in a Japanese retailer
NVIDIA RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards sold in a very fast way, just as Predict rumorsOn the day of launch yesterday – and there was a lot of chaos and a flame for the release of these first Blackwell graphics processors.
During writing, on the day after the start, everything remains sold with major retailers in the US and UK, I just took a reconnaissance circle, at least with regard to solo graphics cards.
Even the seriously expensive models of third -party RTX 5080 in the premium end of the spectrum sold out with an eye on an eye.
Yes, the only option to get the Blackwell GPU right now is to buy a full computer with one of the boards in it, where you obviously pay a lot of money for a high -end machine with a large mark -up.
As for the flame, there were large lines in some retail stores Tail for their shot in RTX 5090 days before the startS AS Videocardz Reports, in Japan there were some chaotic scenes where in a shop called PC Koubou, possibly Nvidia GPU buyers ultimately scaled the kindergarten fence in the neighborhood (in an attempt to enter and buy GPU, probably).
It was one of the shops in Japan where a lottery system is implemented To try to make the purchase of Blackwell GPU a fair process, but clearly, he went wrong here.
Overall, there are accusations of NVIDIA, which makes the RTX 5000 “start -up of paper”, which means that there was only a very small amount of inventory available on the day of launch.
As Videocardz points out, the theorization of Reddit – which we should be especially careful – suggests that there were only 250 units of RTX 5090 in the Micro Centers and only 2,400 or more from the RTX 5080. Otherwise, it will disappear to the ground, passing by the rumors, but the RTX 5080 is expected to achieve slightly better levels of stocks than this rude from Reddit suggests.
Analysis: Do not feed scalpers
As mentioned, the only real shot you have right now to get a GPU on Blackwell is buying a full computer, inevitably a very expensive first -class model that will release you several vouchers. In theory, you could replace the RTX 5000 GPU with your own (from which you upgrade) and sell PC second -hand (like almost new), but it is potentially a lot I wouldn’t).
The other choice, which again is not any kind of choice, is to buy RTX 5090 or 5080 on a scalper auction site that has seriously increased the price. Do not do this – do not nourish the prices, whatever you do, please. It is interesting to see on the likes of eBay that there are much more reasonable prices for Blackwell Listings, which are made only to capture bots, and clearly state that they are just a photo of the GPU in the description. (As well as those who are trying to sell their pre -orders, of course).
Then just the usual chaos around the start of a new generation of GPU on Earth. For now, I would just suggest you try to be patient. (Do not feed the scalpers, have I said this already? Just imagine that collective sweating continues if these lists are not shifted and they should continue to fall and reduce prices).
Keep your eyes peeled from our live blogs where Techradar still maintains a clock for all major retailers – for RTX 5090 graphics cardsand too RTX 5080 GPU “And we’ll warn you there if any stocks come back.” But for now, the chances of buying the RTX 5090 or 5080 still look very distant to say the least.
Of course, the attention will soon turn to the start of the RTX 5070 models next month and how the stocks will shake there. And then gamers’ eyes will be directed to what AMD does with Rdna 4 in MarchS As we know that some RX 9070 graphics cards are already with retailersLet’s hope that Team Red should have a much better start than next generation of stock levels than we witnessed NVIDIA yesterday.
