Nvidia gaming GPU enthusiasts are already queuing, four days ahead of release, to get hold of a new RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 graphics card.

New Egg has them listed Nvidia's flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 cards will be available on 30 January at 6 am. New Egg has told us that its site and Newegg Canada already have the cards and systems listed in preparation.

The most powerful of Nvidia's newest Blackwell graphics cards is a " beast ." Review after review has brought up benchmarks showcasing that when it comes to gaming, the RTX 5090 blows its predecessors and other graphics cards away. However, it appears that for many consumers, the RTX 5090 is overkill.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 starts at $1,999 before you factor in upsells from the company's partners or price increases driven by scalpers and/or genuine demand. It costs more than my entire gaming PC.

That extra processing power naturally translates to better performance, making the RTX 5090 the new king of 4K gaming. It’s a $1,999 GPU for anyone who wants the best 4K gaming experience, developers interested in AI performance, and creators who want to accelerate video editing.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 is the most brutally fast graphics card ever introduced, augmented by new DLSS 4 technology that feels like magic. But you pay dearly for it.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is one of the most powerful (and expensive) graphics cards ever, and uses AI to further enhance its gaming performance.

Some scalpers are already betting they can score an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 on launch day and offering presales at two to three times the normal price.
