NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series supply is finally starting to improve, as mainstream retailers and system integrators are now offering a greater set of options, at decent pricing.
NVIDIA's RTX 50 Models, Particularly The Higher-End Ones, Witness Extensive Availability By Multiple AIBs
Well, it seems like consumers might finally have a chance to get their hands on NVIDIA's latest GPUs, as, according to supply chain sources and retailers, the availability of SKUs, particularly the higher-end models, has improved drastically. According to an X post by Falcon Northwest, a notable system integrator, it is revealed that NVIDIA's RTX 50 series supply is improving, and the wait times for RTX 50 builds have dropped drastically, showing that retail channels might finally have inventory in order to satisfy demand.
We know the lines have been long this spring, but GeForce RTX 50-Series card supply is improving and the beautiful 5070 Founders Editions have arrived!

Similarly, at retailers like Newegg, we have seen SKUs like the RTX 5080 being available in stock, but the pricing of those units is way above the official MSRPs, which is still a concern for many consumers out there. However, judging by the fact that just a few weeks ago, there were no units available across major retailers, it does show that inventory levels are being restored, but we will have to wait and see when the pricing starts to drop, although this will likely take time for now.
Interestingly, it seems like consumers have started to boycott NVIDIA's RTX 50 series GPUs, especially the models retailing at outrageous pricing, since we saw high-end models like the GeForce RTX 5090 ROG Astral sitting at MicroCenter with a $3,400 price tag, which is significantly higher than what the base models go for. We expect the trend to be similar across other premium variants as well, given that the initial inventory fiasco had bothered gamers to the point where the RTX 50 series felt pointless to look at.
Nonetheless, in the following days and weeks, expect a lot of RTX 50 series GPUs to arrive at the shelves in most parts of the world, given that NVIDIA themselves claimed that supply will improve drastically moving into Q2. We will see noticeable price drops once quantities are restored to optimal levels, and demand starts to decline, which, by the looks of it, is already happening. So for Team Green fans, well you could snag up an RTX 50 series GPUs at decent pricing pretty soon.
