Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is exceptionally powerful but forbiddingly expensive. (You could build a complete RTX 5080-based gaming PC for the money.) But this top-tier GPU lives on a whole other planet of performance.

It's not going to be easy to buy a new RTX 50 Series GPU at launch, but I'm watching the best retailers with listed stock updates.

Best Buy is the only retailer listing the Founders Edition versions of the Nvidia RTX 5080 and RTX 5090. It’s also selling several third-party cards; however, the big box retailer is completely out of stock as of writing.
