Nvidia has officially launched the highly anticipated RTX 50 series graphics cards, including the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, which went on sale on January 30, 2025. Unsurprisingly, these powerful graphics cards sold out almost immediately, leaving buyers in a state of chaos.
Reports indicate that retailer stock has sold out, and the prices of the new graphics cards have been marked up. Nvidia fans are experiencing the typical mix of excitement and disappointment that comes with such a release.
The RTX 5080 is priced at $999, making it a relatively more affordable choice in the high-end gaming graphics card market, while the flagship RTX 5090 is priced at $1999.
According to sources, these cards feature the new Blackwell architecture, offering a significant performance boost compared to previous generations.
