The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 launch left plenty of gamers disappointed, thanks to immediate stock shortages, but that could be about to change. A new rumor is suggesting that supply of new RTX 5090 graphics cards will be vastly improved soon, giving gamers the chance to actually buy one of these new gaming GPUs and leaving scalpers disappointed.
The launch of these new Nvidia cards has been rather stop-start. While the company has certainly produced the best graphics card in the RTX 5090, it’s been almost impossible for the majority of gamers to get hold of one, while RTX 5080 stock has been similarly constrained. If Nvidia is able to resolve these issues over the coming months, then all the better, for both the company and for gamers generally.
This potential good news came via regular tech leak source, MEGAsizeGPU, via a post on X (previously Twitter). In the X post, MEGAsizeGPU states that the supply of new RTX 5090 graphics cards will be “stupidly high soon.” The post then goes on to say that scalpers will “cry so hard” as a result, a sentiment that perhaps most gamers won’t be too disappointed to hear themselves.
In a reply to a comment, the leaker goes on to suggest a one month timescale for the new stock arrival, given “current manufacturing and shipping speed.” MEGAsizeGPU has a good reputation for Nvidia GPU leaks, accurately reporting that Nvidia was working on an RTX 4070 with slower VRAM, for instance. The leaker is also behind a recent RTX 5070 launch date rumor that points to that GPU seeing a short launch delay from February to March 2025.
While Nvidia hasn’t made any public statements to confirm this news, this leak is a hopeful sign that many more gamers will be able to get their hands on the new RTX 5000-series card sooner than anticipated.
