January 2025 was like PC nerd Christmas. Or it was supposed to be. But then NVIDIA launched the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, and it all went horribly wrong. It won't be getting better anytime soon, either, at least not if the words of one of the UK's top retailers for this type of product are anything to go by.
Online stock for the two graphics cards went almost instantly. There were tragically hilarious reports from folks lining up at physical stores to be met with signs saying there were only FOUR RTX 5090s in stock.
