Slept in? There's no point in visiting the nearest Micro Center as all RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, two of the best graphics cards, are sold out within hours of launch. If you need to score a GPU on day one, be ready to pay through the nose since scalpers are charging 2x-3x more than MSRP. Supply-chain rumors and inventory woes were clear indicators of a chaotic launch day, but all things considered, the limited supply, or lack thereof, suggests this is no more than a paper launch.
We heard several weeks back that the retail supply of the RTX 5090 would be extremely tight, with many stores likely to receive only a couple of cards. That has proven to be the case.
