How come no one in NA is taking preorders ?

Shouldn’t they be available in 10 days ? I figured Best Buy and other retailers would start taking preorders by now

It's first come first served, always has been. At least in the UK.

Probably Nvidia being a dick by withholding their new gpu to AIBs until the last moments. They have been pity throwing “reference” pcb to their partners, ie boring rectangular pieces

I don’t understand how reference boards work

Nvidia has to establish what is needed to feed and power the GPU, components spec tolerances etc for the good working of it all

But don’t AIBs have freedom on how to make it?

Something like this https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce...-ad102-gpu-design-similar-to-rtx-3090-ti-pcb/

Um es kurz zu umschreiben: Wachsamkeit und Geheimhaltung treffen auf industrielle Massenproduktion und die technischen Vorarbeiten dazu. Nun ist es ja nicht so, dass ich gar keine Informationen…

AIB do make custom pcb, but they come later because Nvidia leave it so late for them.

What a nice looking card. Sexy, would fit my SFF case.......................

That's a sexy card, indeed. I have no hope of getting it though. Will have to do with a clunky version from asus or gigabyte I guess.
Not that it matters too much, as i'm gonna keep my eyes on the monitor and not the PC most of the time.

Damn. Newegg is offering me $1350 in trade in for my 4090. That makes the cost of a 5090 damn near trivial.

I mean, you can get by with one Kidney but can you get by without a 5090?

 

[daninthemix]

It's looking like stupid money but that's everything in 2025 for you. A 5090 costs, like, 2 months heating bill.

The whole "kidney" thing is getting a bit old, isn't it?

yeah let them sell both.

They can just use dialysis right?

True story, that kid that sold his kidney for an iPad had his other kidney fail.

I saw it mentioned at some point, but did we get confirmation if Best Buy is using their membership in order to buy one of these cards on their website next week?
