Nvidia warned of stock shortages earlier this week, and now its launch of the $1,999 RTX 5090 yesterday is being branded a “paper launch” after people camped outside retailers only to find a handful of cards available, if any at all.

The Nvidia RTX 5090 went on sale in Australia on January 31 at 1AM AEDT, though stock quickly sold out across Australian PC component stores. Unlike the US and the UK, Australian retailers don't typically stock the Founders Edition card, but third-party options are available. Here are the retailers we recommend keeping an eye on:

But now the rush has died down and RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 systems are still available for purchase if you've got the cash. While you may have to hunt for the specific card you want, if you just want a PC with one of these beasts inside there's still lots of opportunities to order one.
