MSI says its RTX 5090s won’t ship until February 6, after Nvidia warns on stock levels – and I’m starting to worry that buying a next-gen GPU will be a seriously uphill struggle
- MSI's RTX 5090 graphics cards that'll be sold through its own store won't be made available to buy on the official release date of January 30 – rather, these GPUs will be up for pre-order on that day (tomorrow), but not shipped until a week later.
- The RTX 5090 models from the official MSI store in the US won't ship until February 6.
- Nvidia has warned of potential stock-outs on the RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards.
- MSI China had already indicated that the initial supply of the Blackwell flagship GPU will be tight and limited.
- Demand for the reasonably priced RTX 5080 will likely mean that this Blackwell graphics card also sells out quickly.
- Scalpers are potentially looking at price-gouging profits.
- The stock situation for RTX 5070 models is also raising concerns.
- The stock situation is looking very shaky indeed, and the odds of getting one tomorrow on the official launch day seem slim.
- The level of demand for the reasonably priced RTX 5080 will likely mean that this Blackwell graphics card also sells out in a flash.
- Thus, avoiding becoming overly gloomy in outlook regarding Nvidia’s imminent GPUs is currently challenging.
