Nvidia RTX 50-series Graphics Cards: How to Secure Yours
The waiting game has begun, and if you’re eager to get your hands on Nvidia’s latest RTX 50-series graphics cards, you’re not alone. With the new generation of GPUs, the tech giant has promised a significant performance breakthrough, and many are eager to experience it for themselves. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to increase your chances of securing one of these powerful cards.
What’s all the fuss about?
The Nvidia RTX 50-series, particularly the RTX 5070, has made headlines for its promised performance breakthrough. Dubbed a "groundbreaking" achievement, this card can rival the RTX 4090 for just $549. This is thanks to the use of DLSS 4’s AI-powered multi-frame generation, making it a welcome compromise for those who can’t afford the beefier 4K-ready GPUs on the market.
Premium cards: what you can expect
The premium cards, including the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, offer greater raw performance. In our review, we found the RTX 5080 to be about 15 percent faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4080. The RTX 5090, on the other hand, boasted a 28 percent boost in frame rates compared to the RTX 4090 for 4K gaming without frame generation assistance. This is already impressive, considering the compact Founder’s Edition is small enough to fit into a small form factor PC case.
Tips to increase your chances
To avoid the struggle of trying to find one of these highly-anticipated GPUs, we’ve got some tips to enhance your chances:
- Use a hardwired computer: Try using a desktop or laptop with an internet connection to browse and input necessary information quickly and efficiently.
- Keep your smartphone and tablet handy: Have your phone and tablet nearby to stay on top of updates and act fast when an opportunity arises.
- Use multiple monitors: Optimize your setup by using multiple monitors to view multiple browser windows at once.
Where to buy NVidia RTX 50-series GPUs
Several retailers are already listing third-party RTX 50-series cards, including customized versions from OEMs like MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte. Some of these cards come with unique shroud designs, three cooling fans, and even integrated liquid cooling. Be aware of their dimensions, as they can be larger than the Founder’s Edition cards. Online retailers like Newegg, Amazon, and Adorama are also listing these cards, but availability may vary.
Micro Center and other retailers
Micro Center, a popular retailer, has confirmed that its initial stock of RTX 50-series cards will only be available in physical retail locations, with only third-party models available. Expect stores to open early, with units available on a first-come, first-served basis, and a voucher system in place.
Amazon and other retailers update
As of January 30th, Amazon, Adorama, and other retailers have yet to list individual GPU listings for the RTX 50-series. However, Adorama is currently accepting preorders for prebuilt desktops with RTX 5090 cards.
By following these tips and staying informed, you’ll be well-versed in securing your next generation of graphics processing power.
