Nvidia warns gamers to expect RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 “stock-outs” on launch

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 stock will suffer from “significant demand” that will inevitably lead to GPU shortages, according to the GPU maker. In news that will surprise absolutely nobody, RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 stock is expected to be so highly sought after that Nvidia has itself warned potential customers to expect “stock-outs” to occur.

The launch of these new Nvidia graphics cards is highly anticipated, but it’s expected to be a bumpy one. While the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are set to be the best graphics cards you can buy once they’re released on January 30, actually getting your hands on one might be difficult, with some gamers already camping outside brick-and-mortar stores for the chance to own one.
