Nvidia’s RTX 5090 Founders Edition has just been restocked in the UK, available at its official MSRP of £1,799—significantly undercutting prices offered by add-in board (AIB) partners. This makes it a rare and valuable opportunity, especially given that the same GPU from other manufacturers is selling for over £200 more. For instance, the Zotac RTX 5090 Solid on Scan is priced at £2,059, meaning buyers can save more than £200 by opting for Nvidia’s Founders Edition. The card is now available directly through the Nvidia Marketplace, and while stock levels are limited and restocks are infrequent, this sudden availability comes just in time for Cyber Monday. It’s a notable moment, especially considering how quickly these high-demand GPUs typically sell out. Built on TSMC’s 4N process node, the RTX 5090 packs over 21,760 CUDA cores, with a boost clock of up to 2,407 MHz. It features 32GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit memory interface, delivering massive bandwidth ideal for both gaming and AI workloads. The card is power-hungry, with a peak board power draw of 575W—though transient spikes can reach as high as 659W, according to testing by Tom’s Hardware Premium. This means users will need a robust power supply of at least 1000W, and ideally more, to ensure stable performance. In terms of performance, the RTX 5090 is a powerhouse. It can effortlessly handle even the most demanding games, especially those with heavy ray tracing or poor PC optimization, thanks to its sheer processing muscle. In our earlier four-star review, we concluded that no other GPU on the market is likely to surpass it in performance for several years. Beyond gaming, the RTX 5090 is well-suited for local AI inference and model training, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts and developers exploring on-device AI. However, for running larger, more complex AI models, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell may be a better fit—though it comes at a higher price. With its sleek, premium design and exclusive availability through Nvidia’s official channel, the Founders Edition offers both performance and prestige. If you’re ready to upgrade your system and have the power supply and cooling to match, now is the time to act. These cards rarely stay in stock for long—once they’re gone, it could be months before another batch appears.
