An internet user has posted a photo of a few consumers placing tents outside a Micro Center store in anticipation for Thursday's launch of the RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards.

Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs are just around the corner, with the first releases — the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 — dropping on January 30th. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 will follow that with their own releases in February, but some are already getting a sneak peek at the GPUs’ software benefits through DLSS 4.

Want an Nvidia RTX 5090? Better pitch a tent as shops already have people camping outside — despite retailers pleading with hopefuls not to.

Eager buyers are already camping outside of Micro Center in anticipation of the RTX 5090 release later this week. The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox
