For those eager to get their hands on the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards, you don't have to wait until the official preorder date of January 30. Adorama has already listed several pre-built gaming desktop PCs featuring these GPUs, and you can pre-order them right now. This is a golden opportunity to secure one of these highly anticipated GPUs, especially if you're in the market for a complete system. Adorama suggests a ship date of February 11, but it's wise to take that with a grain of salt.
The Nvidia 50 series GPUs made their grand entrance at CES 2025, with a strong focus on enhanced AI capabilities rather than traditional raster performance. The highlight is DLSS 4 technology, which Nvidia claims can quadruple frame rates with minimal visual compromise. While these GPUs do bring a modest performance boost, the debate continues on their value compared to the RTX 40 series for PC gamers.

The RTX 5090 is set to become Nvidia's flagship GPU, succeeding the RTX 4090. These pre-built desktops come with a higher price tag than similar RTX 4090 systems, typically ranging from $3,500 to $4,000. However, considering the RTX 5090's standalone price, which is $400 more than the RTX 4090, the increase isn't surprising.
In IGN's review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE, Jacqueline Thomas noted, "The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially taken the performance crown from the RTX 4090, but with less force than previous generations. When it comes to traditional non-AI gaming performance, the RTX 5090 provides one of the smallest generational uplifts in recent memory. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 really does deliver huge performance gains – you just have to make your peace with the fact that 75% of the frames are generated with AI."

The RTX 5080 will sit just below the RTX 5090 in Nvidia's lineup. Although our review is not yet complete, based on Nvidia's specs and pricing, we anticipate its performance to fall between the RTX 4080 / 4080 Super and the RTX 4090. It features 10,752 CUDA cores—a 10% increase over the RTX 4080—and new GDDR7 memory. Starting at $2,300, these systems are competitively priced, especially when you consider that an RTX 4080 Super system usually costs the same or more.
