When can we expect the next shipment of the RTX 5080? I've been checking various retailers, but stock seems to be non-existent. Any updates on availability would be appreciated!
Man, I feel your pain. I have been refreshing pages for days trying to secure one and my luck has been absolute garbage! It is super frustrating when you just want a reliable rig to game on without worrying about these random shortages. Honestly, I have given up on checking stores manually.
Yeah caught that Amazon drop Breadd mentioned earlier today. Was actually staring at my screen with a coffee when the alert popped off and I scrambled to hit buy. Honestly after trying to snag one of these for weeks it was such a relief to finally see the checkout button actually work for once. Been using cards from that manufacturer for years now and they never miss. Just solid builds that stay quiet even when youre pushing them. If you are still looking definitely stick with the ASUS ones if you can. You really cant go wrong with their stuff and the build quality is always top notch for the price. Just dont bother with those crazy overpriced bundles some sites are trying to push... total waste of cash if youre trying to be smart with your budget. Keep those trackers open in the background and youll hit eventually. Super happy with how mine is performing so far so the hunt was worth it tho.
Regarding what #4 said about feeling the pain of refreshing pages, honestly, I just gave up on the 5080 hunt entirely. Everyone here is obsessed with the latest drops like that ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition but the price-to-performance ratio just isnt there for me right now. I had issues with card coil whine on the last gen, and honestly, the premiums people are paying are insane. I ended up grabbing a used NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super 16GB GDDR6X for way less cash, and it runs everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. If you are budget-conscious, dont let the hype train burn your wallet. Those minor frame gains in the 50 series just arent worth the headache of these constant stock shortages imo. Save your money and wait for the prices to normalize instead of chasing these phantom restocks.
Probably in late this month. You can get stock tracker here: https://www.gearinstock.com/nvidia-rtx-5080-pre-order-in-stock-availability-tracker/
