UK retailer expects more RTX 5090 stock in '3 to 16 weeks', so, err, adjust your diaries accordingly

If you're in the UK and currently hunting for an RTX 5090, you've probably noticed that stock is… limited,at best. The good news is, Overclockers UK has updated its X account with news of incoming stock.

The bad? The estimates for new RTX 5090s available for sale are given as between three and 16 weeks—which is about as wide a margin as I've seen related to GPU stock, at the very least.

It's not just the RTX 5090 with a potentially long lead time, either (via Notebookcheck). The RTX 5080 has an ETA of two to six weeks, which is also a fairly substantial wait to buy a now-launched GPU from one of the UK's largest PC hardware retailers.

RTX 50 Series Stock Update 31/01/2025Stock UpdateRTX 5090 sold out and pre-orders ceasedRTX 5080 sold out and pre-orders ceasedDue to incredibly high demand and limited stock, all 50 Series cards sold shortly after launch with some pre-orders taken in restricted quantities.…January 31, 2025 It's not Overclockers UK that's at fault here, just to be clear, nor is the UK unique in its absence of RTX 50-series GPUs.

We've been keeping track of where to buy the RTX 5090 and where to buy the RTX 5080 respectively, and it's been a struggle finding available stock in both the UK and the US no matter which retailer you looked at, although we've certainly found a few next-generation Nvidia cards for sale.
