Comprehensive List of Models Offered by Leading Retailers

NVIDIA has finally unleashed the first of its RTX 50 series, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards, now available for eager gamers. You can find these high-performance GPUs not just from NVIDIA but also from their board partners. They’re up for grabs on major sites like Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, although you’ll want to jump on them quickly given their high demand.

In an exciting development, many of NVIDIA’s board partners, including ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ZOTAC, have released their own custom versions of the RTX 5090 and 5080. Revealed initially at CES, these top-tier graphics cards had been cloaked in silence under an embargo. Now, with reviews making the rounds, NVIDIA has lifted the shroud, allowing these GPUs to hit the market.

There’s a wide array of these custom GPUs distributed globally, especially for North American buyers, who can snap them up from big online retailers. Here’s a glimpse of some of the RTX 5090 models along with their prices:

– ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition is listed at Newegg and Best Buy for $2799.99.
– ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 OC comes in at $1999.99 on Newegg and Best Buy.

The list goes on with models from ZOTAC, MSI, Gigabyte, and more. You’d be looking at prices ranging from $2199.99 to $2529.99, depending on the model and manufacturer.

When it comes to performance, the GeForce RTX 5090 is NVIDIA’s most impressive offering yet. With a 30% performance leap over the RTX 4090 and a base price of $1999, it’s a beast. Sporting a GB202 die, it packs 21,760 Cuda Cores and 32 GB GDDR7 memory on a robust 512-bit bus, consuming 575W of power for the Founder’s Edition. Many custom versions crank up the boost clocks, offering even more power albeit at the cost of higher energy consumption.

Switching gears to the RTX 5080, this card is no slouch either, trailing only the RTX 5090 in the RTX 50 lineup. Priced at $999 for the Founders Edition, it surpasses the RTX 4080 with its GB203 die, 10,752 Cuda Cores, and 16 GB GDDR7 memory, all running on a 256-bit bus. It impressively features a 2617 MHz boost clock, even rivaling its bigger brother, the RTX 5090 — particularly in custom models from NVIDIA’s partners.

For those hunting the RTX 5080, models and prices on Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy include:

– ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition available at $1499.99.
– ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC, listing on various retailers.

You’ll also see other versions from MSI, Gigabyte, and additional brands, with prices spanning from $999.99 to $1349.99 based on the model.

Given the anticipated high demand, NVIDIA has stated both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 might be challenging to find at the moment. Retailers underscore the limited supply by assuring that additional stock will trickle in over the coming weeks. So, whether you’re an avid gamer looking for the ultimate setup or just keen on the latest tech, keep an eye on these online platforms. The run on these powerful GPUs is set to be intense!
