NVIDIA enthusiasts looking to snag the RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards from Overclockers UK might need to exercise some patience. Current estimates suggest a significant wait, spanning several weeks or even months, before these sought-after GPUs are back in stock.
### Update on RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Availability: Longer Waits for Some
The launch of NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series has been tumultuous to say the least. It’s been labeled as a ‘paper launch’ by many, with numerous retailers unable to get their hands on the RTX 5090 at all. Even those fortunate enough to have a limited supply saw these units vanish almost instantaneously once the embargo lifted. The RTX 5080 didn’t fare much better, quickly selling out despite its slightly improved availability and marginal generational upgrades.
For those in the queue to purchase these graphics cards, the timeline for restocking is not exactly promising. Overclockers UK reported that both the RTX 5090 and 5080 have sold out, and they’ve halted pre-orders altogether. This means that right now, if you’re eager to order through their platform, you’re out of luck. Naturally, the burning question is: when will they be available again?
According to Overclockers UK, the re-stocking might see the RTX 5090 back in inventory anywhere from 3 to 16 weeks, while the RTX 5080 could potentially return in around 2 to 6 weeks. If the worst-case scenario holds, the RTX 5090 might not arrive until just before mid-2025, around May. By that time, NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 are already expected to be out, with the former launching February 20th and the latter in March.
#### RTX 50 Series Stock Status – As of January 31, 2025:
– RTX 5090: Sold out, with a restock estimate of 3-16 weeks.
– RTX 5080: Sold out, expected to return in 2-6 weeks.
Even though the RTX 5080 might be back sooner, its previous availability was already insufficient for many buyers worldwide. It came with negligible advancements compared to the RTX 5090 but retailed at the same price as the RTX 4080 Super, which prompted a rush to buy.
Some keen customers even resorted to camping outside stores, and in some cases, retailers issued lottery tickets for a chance to secure these expensive GPUs. With the situation as it stands, some of those who pre-ordered through Overclockers UK might find themselves in limbo if they haven’t received confirmation emails.
This supply crunch has caused Overclockers UK to put a hold on pre-orders for the time being. It’s unclear how much longer the rest of the global market will have to wait for these GPUs to hit the shelves again, so NVIDIA fans should brace for a lengthy wait.
