You have 1:1 with price/performance increase. With Pro you are paying 75%/2x more (depending on place) for UP to 45% performance increase (average ~30%).

Pro is a shitty deal, 5090 is very mediocre deal.

The 5090 is only bad if you think the 4090 is bad since the 5090 is just a juiced up 4090 IMO.
frfr. Biggest problem with the 5090 is the price. Feels like NVIDIA thought if scalpers can make money, they can become scalpers themselves and make even more money. EZ. And it will work, too.

All the websites in the UK were unusable. Scan did only briefly show a "pre-order" button. Overclockers and Nvidia have been down since before the release time. 😂

You don't f5 at best buy. I mean to start you got get to the add to cart button and then you get in a live line. No refreshing needed. I got my 3090 through them on one of their later stock updates.

All the other stores you do. Which is why I don't bother. If I don't get in at BB then I will wait more.

i was spamming nvidia and it went from "Coming Soon" straight to "Out of Stock"

Scan shit itself.
I don't think there's much they can do. It's always impossible to get one at launch on these websites. There will be restocks, but they expect this situation to last 3 months.

And North American retailers are all sold out....

Fun fact: if you performed a typo on RTX by spelling it "TRX" you could get the Asus 5090's to appear on NewEgg 3 minutes before they were officially on sale.

Nice job!

i got a 4080 no problem but the 4090 was out of stock right away.

i'll keep checking for 5090 but if i can't get one in 2-3 months forget it. too old for this shit.

Just ordered my card. Was a bit nerve wrecking refreshing the page, as I thought it froze up just as the cards were made available.
Got the MSI 5090 Gaming Trio OC.

I eventually got a FE. Get into a good group with bots that tell you when stuff is in stock. It might take a few months, but eventually, you'll get one.

These cards are not going to be mainstream. They're only supply-constrained.

i'll keep checking nvidia to see if a 5090 FE goes in stock. that's the only card i want. i don't want some crappy AIB card. FE or nothing.

i do have a 4080 so i'm not desperate to upgrade but 5090 would be a nice upgrade to make better use of my 360Hz monitor. i can wait for 6000 (which will just be more of the same probably)

I like my cards like I like my woman. No bigger than 2 slots

Grats, I didn't try with the other cards. Maybe I should have. Don't really want those giant cards.

5080 sold out now, no luck

Jensen playing 5D chess with you peasants - put out a shit 5080 - paper launch it - sells out in seconds creates FOMO rage hysteria so you buy them up each and every time there is a new stock
