Without much surprises, Nvidia’s new video cards, RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models, practically disappeared from online shelves in less than an hour after the official release.
As expected, both enthusiastic and reseller audiences reselling the inflated prices have contributed to the rapid exhaustion of inventories.
Even with values ​​above the price suggested by Nvidia, the 47 models listed on the Newegg website, for example, which varied between $ 999.99 for RTX 5080 and $ 2,799.99 for Asus Rog Astral RTX 5090they sold out quickly.
The situation was similar in other major retailers, such as Best Buy, where many signs were not even made available for purchase before they are marked as “soon.”
Limited availability and impact of AI demand
Nvidia releases traditionally face low stocks at first, but this time the scarcity seems even more severe.
Even before the launch, the company had warned about the reduced offer of units. According to information from manufacturers and retailers, the situation must persist for a while. THE MSI, for example, announced that it will only have stock to send RTX 5090 to your online store from February 6th.
In addition to high demand from the gamer audience, one factor that may be contributing to this scarcity is the artificial intelligence market. Large AI date centers are strongly dependent on powerful GPUs, and while many use specialized models, there is also demand for advanced consumer boards for these applications.
Situation in Brazil follows the same pattern
In Brazil, the pre-sale of the new GPUS began today as well, and the situation was no different. At the time of publication of this article, the three models available on Kabum! They were already unavailable (See more details about pre-sale prices here).
This further reinforces the globally limited stock pattern, making it difficult for consumers to purchase new products without resorting to resellers.
Is it worth paying more expensive now?
Stock scarcity always drives the parallel market, with scalpers reselling GPUs at absurd prices.
Historically, however, stocks stabilize in a few months, and prices return to more reasonable levels.
In the specific case of RTX 5080, the initial reception was warm, as the model presents a relatively modest performance gain from the previous generationrelying strongly on technologies such as DLSS and generation of paintings. The RTX 5090, despite the high price, stands out as the most powerful GPU on the market today.
Given this scenario, the recommendation for those who do not want to pay exorbitant amounts is have patience and wait for new inventory replacements in the coming months.
