- MSIS US store will only have RTX 5090s on pre -order Come Launch Day
- While the flagship GPU can be purchased on January 30, it will not be sent until February 6
- This is based on wider concerns about stock levels that NVIDIA has also just warned about
MSIS RTX 5090 graphics cards that will be sold through its own store will not be made available to buy on the official release date of January 30-snarers these GPUs will be for pre-order that day (tomorrow), but not sent before a week later.
According to information shared by a representative of MSI on Discord, as discovered by Videocardz, the RTX 5090 will only be available for pre -order on January 30, while the RTX 5080 can be purchased and sent the same day. RTX 5090 models from the official MSI store in the United States will not send until February 6th.
MSI Rep said they couldn’t talk to any bail about the situation with other retailers, but confirmed that these other retailers would at least have some stock of MSIS RTX 5090 models (as you hope).
Videocardz also points out that a PC barley lord in the United States (Stincebuilt) also says that MSIS RTX 5090 graphics card has been pushed back to a launch of February 6.
Obviously, this must be due to being short in stock of RTX 5090, and it reflects what we already heard from MSI China, namely that the original delivery of the Blackwell flagship GPU will be tight and limited.
At the top of this, an NVIDIA employee (on his official forums) also recently stated that “warehouses can happen” with RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards.
Analysis: The Consuming GPU -Dyste
Unfortunately, this is another in a fair old series of rumors that the RTX 5090 is very short in stock when the flagship GPU is first launched. We can’t say anything with certainty, with all this is unofficial scraped via grapes – although some nuggets are from representatives of companies who know, such as MSI here.
If you want an RTX 5090, the situation actually looks very shaking, and the odds of getting one tomorrow, on the official launch day, seems extremely slim. If not actually impossible to go for what is said by MSI here (yes, you can order a flagship GPU, to be fair, but you won’t get it for a week). This is perhaps the reason why some people have taken extreme measures such as camping in cows in front of retailers already in the hope of securing their RTX 5090.
More people will be after the RTX 5080, remember you, which is far more reasonable price (relatively speaking). And there has been some better news about this GPU in terms of stock, though it still sounds pretty thin on the ground, and the demand level is likely to mean that this Blackwell graphics card also sells out on a flash. The added concern with the RTX 5080 is that pricing for third -party graphics cards will be bloated well over MSRP essentially for many models, although we will have to see if it is panting out.
All in all, it is difficult to be even remote optimistic about the chances of getting an RTX 5090 in particular, but also an RTX 5080, especially considering the recent comments from Nvidia and now MSI. With scenarios like these, of course, Scalpers rub their hands together with joy in the potential price development surplus that inevitably adds the difficulty of the average player trying to secure a shiny new GPU.
It’s hard not to be disappointed with all this, and I’m definitely struggling to avoid getting too gloomy in my vision with Nvidia’s impending GPUs. It’s not even the RTX 5080 that I primarily look at as a graphics card upgrade, though any hope I might grab this as my next GPU has been pretty much muted by the lecture on potential price increases over MSRP and stock problems. My real concern is that the sounds made around stock extend to the RTX 5070 (and its ten-siblings), the middle-class models I really look at (including rumors that it could be delayed for March) .
As I said, fighting the gloom feels like an uphill right now, but I just have to remind myself that it will only be a matter of time before the stock situation sits down if it plays badly with RTX 5070 at launch. Right? Or I look at an AMD RX 9070, which is where the thoughts of a number of PC players may be on the way, I suppose …
