GeForce RTX 5090 Restocks Could Take 4 Months, Warns Overclockers UK

Expert Verified By

Waiting time might be up to 4 months for the GeForce RTX 5090.

Story Highlight
  • Customers who pre-ordered the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 may experience delays for up to 16 weeks due to a lack of supply.
  • Following the release, scalpers have taken advantage of the shortage, listing the RTX 5090 at significantly higher prices.
  • The ongoing supply issues are largely due to limited manufacturing capacity, especially with TSMC wafers being shared between consumers and data centers. 

Customers who bought an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 may have to wait up to 16 weeks to receive their GPU, according to a supply update from Overclockers UK.

Why it matters: The massive demand for Nvidia’s latest RTX 5090 GPU has led to significant supply shortages, with customers potentially waiting weeks to receive their orders.

Given the worldwide RTX 50 shortage, this information implies that shops’ problems with Blackwell inventory will not get any better anytime soon. Unless supply increases, we recommend that you stay with your existing GPU if you want to upgrade.

Only a few hours after the embargo was lifted, almost all RTX 50 GPUs were taken off the market. On websites such as eBay, we have observed scalpers openly selling these GPUs for two to three times the MSRP.

OCUK clarifies in their tweet that pre-orders have been temporarily suspended because its entire RTX 50 inventory has been exhausted. Customers who have not received an email confirming dispatch have been placed in a pre-order line.

The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are expected to be supplied in 3–16 weeks and 2–6 weeks, respectively.

OCUK is delaying new Blackwell orders until the supply situation is resolved. All things considered, Nvidia and AIBs are ultimately responsible for guaranteeing availability at launch.

They use the same TSMC wafers, so every consumer-grade RTX 50 GPU made implies one fewer Blackwell accelerator for data centers. That said we can only hope that availability won’t be a problem for the GeForce RTX 5070 family’s launch, this month.
