The era of Blackwell and the highly anticipated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards is approaching, with store shelves in Malaysia soon to feature these powerful GPUs. While Malaysia won't officially receive Founders Edition (FE) models, NVIDIA's AIB partners are stepping in to fill the gap with their respective versions.

A quick note on a few details: the list of models currently available is not final. Notably, MSI is missing from the lineup at the moment. I've reached out to the brand for confirmation, but there's been no response yet. Rest assured, any updates will be included after publication. Additionally, some brands have a broader range of models listed than others. For instance, certain brands lack mentions of the RTX 5090, while others don't include RTX 5070 models. As more details emerge, the list will be updated accordingly. Another key point: local pricing for these SKUs isn't available yet. None of the brands have disclosed this information at the time of writing. However, we do know that the RTX 50 Series starts at RM 2,472 for the RTX 5070 and goes up to RM9,004 for the RTX 5090.

The review embargoes for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series, particularly the 5090 and 5080 models, are anticipated to be lifted towards the end of this month. Sales of these cards are expected to commence sometime in February. As a reminder, the current list is incomplete and will be updated as more information becomes available from the brands.
