Recently, Nvidia unveiled its latest RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics cards. However, the difficulty in purchasing these GPUs has left many PC gamers frustrated. With limited-edition models selling out almost instantly, discussions have emerged about a so-called "paper launch," where products are announced but scarcely available for purchase.

Despite this, there is still a way for enthusiasts to try securing one of these cards. According to recent reports, during the GTC 2025 event this week, Nvidia will sell RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 models from its Gear Store on wheels, offering 1,000 units of each at the standard retail price.

However, this opportunity is far from straightforward. Only attendees who have paid the hefty $1,145 daily conference fee will be eligible to make a purchase. This means that most gamers will not only need to invest heavily in the conference pass but also compete for the limited buying slots at the event.

In summary, acquiring the Nvidia RTX 5080/5090 series remains a challenging and expensive endeavor. For gamers eager to own these GPUs, patience for market stabilization or exploring alternative reliable channels may be necessary.
