Nvidias RTX 5090 is sold out because it was barely in stock

Nvidia warned of stock shortages earlier this week, and now its launch of $ 1,999 RTX 5090 yesterday labeled a “paper launch” after people camped outside retailers only to find a handful of cards available if any at all.

Reddit users Has tracked Inventory to RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 -Cards at Micro Center locations across the United States, with some stores that open Thursday without RTX 5090 cards at all. Tustin, Micro Center store in California seems to have received the most stock, but other stores reportedly had 10 or smaller RTX 5090 cards. While Nvidia’s RTX 5080 was a little easier to buy on the launch day, shortly quickly went out of stock at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon.

One Reddit poster claims to have secured an RTX 5090 after three days waited in line and others have sent Buy vouchers People were awarded in line in a Miami Micro Center. However, the overwhelming amount of positions is from people who complain about the launch and lack of stock.

Another Big System Builder allegedly received no units and the third received the 20 RTX 5090s, which it sold in pre -built machines in minutes.

Many retailers are now merely listing pre -orders for RTX 5090 cards, with scanning in the UK warning That some cards do not fall in stock before the end of May – four months after the launch date.
