For those eager to preorder the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards, launching January 30th, there's a clever workaround. Adorama is currently offering pre-built gaming PCs featuring these highly sought-after GPUs, available for preorder *now*. This presents a unique opportunity to secure your next-generation GPU, especially considering the anticipated high demand. While Adorama lists a February 11th shipping date, it's wise to approach this estimate with caution.
Officially unveiled at CES 2025, the Nvidia 50-series GPUs prioritize enhanced AI capabilities over raw rasterization performance. DLSS 4 technology promises a fourfold increase in frame rates with minimal visual compromise. While these GPUs offer a modest performance boost, opinions on their value relative to the RTX 40-series remain divided among PC gamers.

The RTX 5090 succeeds the RTX 4090 as Nvidia's top-tier card. Pre-built systems featuring this GPU command significantly higher prices than comparable RTX 4090 PCs (typically $3,500-$4,000). This price premium aligns with the RTX 5090's anticipated $400 higher retail price compared to its predecessor.
In our review, Jacqueline Thomas noted that the RTX 5090 surpasses the RTX 4090 in performance, albeit less dramatically than previous generational leaps. Traditional gaming performance improvements are modest. However, DLSS 4 delivers substantial performance gains in compatible titles, though it's important to acknowledge the AI-assisted nature of these frame increases.

The RTX 5080 occupies the second-highest position in Nvidia's GPU lineup. While a full review is pending, based on pricing and specifications, its performance is anticipated to fall between the RTX 4080/4080 Super and the 4090. Boasting 10,752 CUDA cores (approximately 10% more than the RTX 4080) and GDDR7 memory, prices start around $2,300—remarkably reasonable considering comparable RTX 4080 Super systems often cost the same or more.
