Fresh rumors suggest that Nvidia's RTX 5000 graphics cards could be in short supply when these next-gen GPUs first arrive.
Moore’s Law is Dead (MLID) discusses the subject of Blackwell stock and RTX 5090 is looking very shaky indeed for its amount of launch stock.
The news doesn’t sound all that much better for the RTX 5080.
Theoretical allocation of around 20 for the RTX 5080 graphics cards is for the first month of sales and nothing for flagship RTX 5090.
Supply is a ‘fraction’ of that seen with the RTX 4080, although this source doesn’t estimate it’ll be quite as bad as a tenth – more like a third to half of that seen with the RTX 4080.
The RTX 5090 is looking like it’ll be ‘very rare’ but that the RTX 5080 seemingly has ‘okay’ stock levels, for the graphics card’s initial launch anyway.
Multiple insiders have chimed in here and there’s some mixed chatter here for the RTX 5080, and some indications of stronger stock levels.
Nvidia might not want to prioritize RTX 5090 stock for its own boards or third-party graphics cards.
There’s no solid evidence what will be the stock levels of Founders Edition.
Reports hint at difficulty in getting Nvidia's next-gen GPUs at launch.
