The Nvidia RTX 5080 launched today, January 30, 2025, and already the GPU is flying off the virtual shelves.
We saw dazzling performance from its bigger sibling, but the RTX 5080 has also impressed us. You can find out exactly why in our RTX 5080 review, but the long story short is it can push out a whole bunch of frames when all the frame gen bells and whistles are enabled. Without this, it doesn't give the biggest uplift over the previous-gen RTX 4080 Super, but it also doesn't cost $2,000 like the RTX 5090 does
The RTX 5080 is now officially live and available for purchase (when in stock) at different retailers. Newegg's listings are showing up again in the search results, too, and most of the various official RTX 5080 AIB prices are listed at retailers in both the US and UK. But that doesn't mean they're in stock. Almost as soon as they were listed, people have been snapping them up and running the stocks dry. If you're still looking for one, keep your eyes peeled as stocks might replenish.

Founders Edition RTX 5080
Founders Edition (FE) cards are Nvidia's own reference design ones, and the 50-series ones look stunning. So, we have no doubt that many of you will be looking to get your hands on an RTX 5080 FE.
Not only does it look stunning but it's also bound to be great value, as it'll be coming in at MSRP where most AIB cards will retail for above this. The design keeps things more than cool enough for gaming, too, as our Dave discovered in his testing which saw average temps keep under 70 °C.
The FE card will, for all these reasons, almost certainly be the most in-demand RTX 5080 upon launch, so fingers on buzzers.
- In the US, you can pick up an RTX 5080 FE from Best Buy for $1,000.
- In the UK, you can pick one up straight from Nvidia starting from £979.
Scan has sold FE cards in the UK previously, but this time around the retailer explains: "Scan work as a fulfilment partner for NVIDIA on the FE cards. These must be bought using the links on the NVIDIA website when stock is available."
MSI
MSI has a very expansive GPU design portfolio, and these ranges are back in force for the RTX 5080. Retailers have lots of these designs lining the shelves (including for my fave, the Suprim), although stocks are low. There are a couple of white-bodied options in there, too, for those of you with an all-white build or looking to add a strong accent to your build.
Gigabyte
Gigabyte's one of the best-known brands and its AIB GPUs are some of the most-bought. From mainstream value offerings such as its 'Windforce' cards through to stunners like the 'Aero OC', it has something to offer for most gamers. Plenty of Gigabyte RTX 5080 cards are now lining the proverbial shelves now, too—at least in theory, as stocks are already pretty diminished as people have lapped them up right out the gate.
Asus
Asus' most popular GPU line-ups are back for the RTX 50-series, and for the RTX 5080 in particular. We've got the much-adored and industrial-looking TUF line-up, as well as Astral and Prime. And there are plenty of stock-overclocked versions, plus some liquid-cooled ('LC') ones, so plenty to go around, if you can catch any in stock.
Zotac, Palit, and others
Although retailers seem to be making the most initial room for MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte's popular GPU line-ups, there are plenty of other third-party RTX 5080 designs to look out for. It's definitely worth keeping an eye out for Palit's, PNY's, Zotac's takes on the RTX 5080. Most listings for these are outside of the US, however.
