That’s it for me today, people. At the moment, there is little movement on the availability front. Keep checking with your retailer to monitor changes in inventory or pre-order procedures to be the first to know when they change.
Come back to this guide to see how the situation develops! Think of it as an exercise to get the 5080 release date if you like.

Dive into the Tech Specs The RTX 5080 has a maximum temperature rating of 88 degrees Celsius (190.4 degrees Fahrenheit), while the 4080 is two degrees higher at 90 degrees Celsius (194 Fahrenheit).
This means that, ideally, the 5080 would run a little cooler than the RTX 4080, even though it (probably) put out a fair amount of performance. However, we find the 5080’s run to be particularly taxing (stay tuned for next week’s review), and its lower maximum temperatures can be an issue for graphically harsh titles on poorly ventilated builds. .

Speaking of the aforementioned monster power draw, ASUS ROG’s RTX 5080 page lists the ROG Thor III 1600W (or at least 1200W) power supply as the “perfect PSU companion” to the newly listed ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC EDITION is listed as. Graphics card – now that’s a lot of power.
This version of the 5080 is stocked with four rows of fans and heatsink fins instead of two or three. .

If you’re seriously considering upgrading to Nvidia’s RTX 5080, head over to one of the websites where you can get notified as soon as stock drops. UK Scans, Overclockers, and Boxes (linked above) – can do their best to beat scalpers and resellers.
If you live near a micro center, you may be more likely to choose the 5080 directly. It offers a first-come, first-served voucher system that guarantees you can purchase a GPU on launch day (but does not guarantee a specific model or manufacturer). Microcenter store has a rule that only allows one 5080 or 5090 per customer. So don’t worry about waiting in line.
If you want to try your luck by buying one online, Newegg is a great place to look. We are offering trade-in deals for new 5000 series cards with current GPUs. Just for fun, I looked at how much I would have gotten if I traded a (fully defunct, undamaged) MSI Geforce RTX 3080 Ti towards a new GPU.

All that power means the 5000 series isn’t just for gamers.
If you’re a creative professional who relies on high-quality GPUs to render large amounts of 3D art for editing, or if you’re a programmer working with large ML models, you’ll find some significant improvements over other cards. (5090 is “35% to 49.3% faster in (our) Blender Benchmark 4.30 test” for 3D rendering over 4090 and “Geekbench 6 OpenGL It was recorded as up to 34.3% faster on Compute tests and 53.9% faster on Vulcan.
Interestingly, there was only a slight performance bump in video editing, but the component’s editors think CPU bottlenecking could be to blame here.

Great power and great…power draw. I went live with my planned NVIDIA RTX 5090 review earlier today, and one of the main ideas I took away from it was how much of a high-end card it is.
The 5090 isn’t just for the average gamer trying to squeeze out a few extra frames per second. This card regularly draws more than 550W of power and throws more than 200 FPS at 8K (yes, 8K) resolution on Ultra settings, including Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and Star Wars: Outlaws with Multi-Frame Generation. You can.
If you’re thinking of upgrading to a 5090, it’s also important to remember the hidden costs associated with that upgrade. Do you have enough power? Is your motherboard and ramup a snuff, and will your current CPU be a huge bottleneck?
So I’m looking to the RTX 5080 (or preferably the 5080 TI) as a realistic upgrade choice. I can’t speak to the specific performance of this card yet (stay tuned for that review next week), but the fact that it can take advantage of a more attractive price tag and multi-frame generation makes me think it can The best value play in the Blackwell lineup.

Can’t we talk about Nvidia’s new graphics cards without talking about AI and DLSS?
DLSS is the technology that allows Nvidia to tout results such as the new 549 5070 performance and the 2022 1,599 RTX 4090. This is also a source of heated debate in the PC gaming world, as enthusiasts are divided on whether or not “false frames” should be considered. performance metrics.
All RTX cards (including 20, 30, and 40 series GPUs) can take advantage of most of the features of DLSS 4, but as of now, only the new 50 series cards have the latest improvements like multiframe generation. (although it looks like Nvidia is bringing MFG to older cards).
While reading a review of the NVIDIA RTX 5090, I found that “For non-upscaled 1440p games, it has an average frame rate of about 18% and 22.6% min/1% frame rate of the RTX 5090.” So it appears that DLSS is not all that the 5000 series has to offer.

According to recent reports and rumors, an RTX 5000 stock shortage is probably the case – but I could have told you there’s nothing to read. This happens every time. Why is this generation different?
Also, as inevitable as death and taxes are scalpers. Sadly, we’re almost certainly going to see some particularly scummy (sorry, “enterprising”) individuals snapping up these cards and trying to resell them at inflated prices. Even if you have cash, steer transparently. These sellers are also known to scam desperate shoppers. Honestly, we shouldn’t support this kind of behavior anyway. Stay strong, friends!

That’s definitely the question many avid PC gamers are asking right now. This is: And that’s a good question. Because the retailer doesn’t seem to be offering any kind of pre-order system, so it seems increasingly unlikely that we’ll see it at all as the release date approaches.
This is a bit unusual, but there is a potential simple explanation. Nvidia and its retail partners are fully aware that the RTX 5090 and 5080 will likely sell out soon and remain high for some time (as is the case with the RTX 4090), so Implementing a pre-order system may not be worth the time and effort. Why bother if you know they’re going to sell it like hotcakes anyway?

One thing we can already talk about is the new physical design of Nvidia’s next generation graphics cards. The RTX 4000 generation of high-end Founders Edition cards rightly received flack from gamers and reviewers for being a bit chunky, to say the least. Notably, only the 4070 FE and 4070 Super FE were actually eligible for Nvidia’s proprietary small form factor certification.
Not this time. All RTX 5000 cards all the way up to the RTX5090 are small enough to fit into (relatively) compact cases. The smaller footprint also means lighter GPUs, as the previous RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 were quite heavy and risked damaging the motherboard if not properly supported within the PC.

Our review of the RTX 5080 (and its big brother 5090) won’t be live for a few hours, but we don’t want to upset all of Nvidia today, but you can check out RTX 5090 Unboxing right now. See what’s in the box.
Most notably, Nvidia is moving away from the problematic 12VHPWR power connector in favor of a new connector with additional sensor pins and a bundled in-box adapter. Melting of Fiascos.

It’s that time of year again. Nvidia is taking the gaming world by storm with the release of its new RTX 5000 series GPUs, and is now setting its sights on the higher mid-range RTX 5080. I’m currently rocking an RTX 3080 Ti in my gaming rig. And while it has served me well, the 5000 series looks like an interesting value proposition. Therefore, we look forward to seeing if the trend continues after the release of TI cards.
But for now, we have a Thursday, January 30th release date for the Blackwell lineup, which includes the NVIDIA RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 (check out our hub for where to find RTX 5090 stock if you’re after peak performance). We’ve already got our hands on the Blackwell card, but we won’t let you know what we think until the review embargo goes up on Friday, January 23rd (Techradar’s detailed review includes today’s Please pay attention to the second half!)
That said, these release dates haven’t stopped retailers from teasing 5080 stock early. Some storefronts like Newegg create landing pages that group all 5080 of their inventory in one place. Great for comparing prices and delivery dates.
