Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU stock rumored to be ‘basically non-existent’ for launch day, and RTX 5080 doesn’t sound like it’ll be much better

As we approach the launch day for Nvidia’s RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs, rumors indicate low stock levels. Reports suggest that the RTX 5090 launch stock is extremely limited, with some retailers having no units in stock. The situation with the RTX 5080 seems slightly better, but still falls short compared to previous launches.
Concerns over supply and demand imbalance are mounting, with prices expected to surge beyond the MSRP, especially for the RTX 5090. Challenges in stock availability are leading to unique sales approaches, such as a Japanese retailer offering lottery tickets for the chance to purchase the GPUs.
Speculations around delayed stock replenishment and high pricing raise uncertainties for consumers. AMD’s potential strategic response to Nvidia’s launch adds complexity to the evolving GPU market landscape. Amidst the anticipation for the new GPUs, guidance on where to buy and navigate the limited stock is crucial for interested buyers.
