Several retailers are out of stock of the RTX 50, and wait times are getting longer

GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards are still pretty hard to find. In the UK, OverclockersUK has suspended pre-orders and is waiting for more stock.
According to the retailer, the RTX 5080s should be available in around two weeks, while RTX 5090s are expected within three weeks. However, as manufacturers' deliveries are staggered, availability could vary between 6 and 16 weeks.
In the Netherlands, some ASUS RTX 50s, such as the TUF and Astral models, will be delivered in waves. A source close to the supply chain claims that no Founders Edition will be shipped before March.
NVIDIA commented briefly on the situation, but declined to give further details after a request from The Verge. After all, the company already warned that stock shortages were indeed possible.
The ball is now on the RTX 5070 Ti court, whose availability could also be limited. What's more, NVIDIA doesn't appear to be planning a Founders Edition for this one, which could further complicate the situation for some buyers.
