Several of Nvidia's partners have stated that the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will likely only be available by Mid -February

Wccftech also points to a report by Benchlife that “there isn’t much supply in the market, mainly due to some communication issues between Nvidia and AIB partners, as well as the Chinese New Year, which is expected to improve in February.”

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are set to release later this month, and there’s no doubt that they’ll end up being some of the of the year. Unfortunately, it also seems that they might be hard to come by,

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs have some exclusive features, but Nvidia doesn't rule out the possibility of backporting them.
