Bad news, PC gamers: this retailer’s worst-case prediction for the Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU is a long wait until almost June for the GPU to be back in stock
- Nvidia’s RTX 5090 and 5080 are out of stock everywhere, and according to a major components retailer in the UK, Overclockers (OCUK), stock is sold out and pre-orders aren’t being offered any longer.
- OCUK has a worst-case ETA of 16 weeks for RTX 5090 stock, and the ETA for the RTX 5080 is two to six weeks, a bit more palatable, but still a potentially long wait.
- Note that pre-orders that have been successfully placed with OCUK are in a queue, and the retailer is working with its supply chain to fulfill these within the ETAs above, or sooner if possible.
- The fact that the RTX 5090 is pushed out to a possible 16 weeks puts us at almost the end of May before the ‘Buy’ button lights up again, while the RTX 5080 may be unavailable until mid-March.
- The worst-case scenarios presented reflect everything we’re seeing right now. Unless we get a quick recovery for RTX 5080 stock that runs against OCUK’s expectations, the situation looks distinctly rocky with Blackwell stock for now.
- AMD has a chance to capitalize on Nvidia's current situation by building up good levels of RDNA 4 supply for the launch of its RX 9070 models and take on Nvidia’s RTX 5070 graphics cards.
- All in all, the outlook remains seriously bleak for those looking for an Nvidia Blackwell graphics card.
