Nvidia’s next-generation graphics card, the RTX 5090, is set to launch on January 30th, but there’s bad news for gamers. According to reports, due to stock shortages, it will be nearly impossible to find the card. Furthermore, these supply chain issues could last for at least three months. Here are the details!
Those wanting to buy the Nvidia RTX 5090 should hurry
Hardware experts like PowerGPU suggest that the launch of the RTX 5090 will have one of the “worst stock situations” so far. Errors in Nvidia’s production process, board partners not being able to prepare stock, and delays in BIOS updates are among the main reasons for this shortage. Some retailers have reported that the cards won’t be available until mid-February, and the stock shortage might last for a few months.
Manufacturers like ZOTAC have also confirmed that the RTX 5090 will not meet the originally scheduled January 30th release date. Delays could continue until mid-February due to external factors, particularly the Spring Festival in China and Taiwan, which has caused delays in sales and distribution activities.
We take a look at the comparison between Dimensity 8400 Ultra and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, two processors we will see in many devices in new era.
Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti model is also expected to launch no earlier than mid-February. Some retailers are planning to limit the number of cards sold per customer to prevent speculative purchases. It is also reported that Nvidia may implement restrictions on bulk buyers who resell the cards at inflated prices.
It’s still unclear how long it will take for Nvidia to resolve its supply chain issues. However, it seems that those wanting to own this next-gen graphics card will either face a long wait or risk running into stock shortages.
Do you think Nvidia’s way of managing this situation will be sufficient for users? Are you planning to get an RTX 5090? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
