NVIDIA RTX 5090: Limited supplies at launch

Start of sales of new video cards NVIDIA RTX 5090 и RTX 5080 is expected to be a busy time due to the limited number of units available. As reported by forum moderator PCGH, NVIDIA intends to closely monitor the distribution of cards to prevent shortages at the start of sales. The main focus will be on B2B distributors, as well as large retail chains.

For those who want to have time to buy RTX 5090 On the launch day, the moderator recommends paying attention to key retailers:

• Mindfactory
• Alternate
• Caseking
• Cyberport/Computeruniverse
• NBB
• Pro Shop

Supply of cards to other stores, including Amazon, will start with a delay - this could be the second or even third wave, which will increase the chances of speculators and resellers inflating prices. It is also expected that the sale will be limited to one unit per buyer to minimize the impact of scalpers and automated bots.

NVIDIA once again faces the challenge of balancing supply and demand. The high interest in the RTX 50xx series is due to significant performance improvements, especially given the recent announcements of the technology DLSS-4 and new architectural solutions.

Recommendation for users: stay tuned for updates from key retailers and be prepared for a limited number of devices at launch.
