While we all wait for the Nvidia RTX 5080 to go on sale in a few hours, make sure you read our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 review by our components editor John Loeffler. John’s been reviewing GPUs for us for many years now, and there’s no one’s opinions on graphics cards I respect more, so definitely take a look. He was impressed, giving the new GPU a very good four and a half stars.
Some eager shoppers are even camped out in front of physical stores in the US to try and snag one of these highly prized GPUs. The image above is from a Reddit post showing people camping four days before the launch.
While I can’t stop you from doing that, I would personally recommend avoiding the cold and just bookmarking this page…
As we approach the hour when the RTX 5080 goes on sale, I have to say that stock levels are looking rather dicey.
MSI has issued a statement revealing that it’ll only be opening pre-orders for the RTX 5090 today, with actual cards shipping on February 6 instead. However, the RTX 5080 will be available on MSI’s online storefront.
We’re still hours away from the official stock drop, but Micro Center’s RTX 5000 page has seemingly gone down, returning a 403 Forbidden error at the time of writing. Either too many people were visiting the page, or Micro Center has taken it offline intentionally to prep it for sales…
Launch day is finally here! We’ll be here all day, monitoring stock at all the major retailers and beyond to try and help you snag an RTX 5080.
It looks like RTX 5090 stock is going to vanish in a flash, so you might have better luck than those hunting for Nvidia’s new flagship GPU, but there’s no guarantee this one will be easier to pick up…
