5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

Looks like the $2k TUF was in stock at Newegg for a split second, but out of stock now.

Asus Prime RTX 5090 launch in 3... 2... Just can't see a "TUF" sitting at MSRP unless competitors are below MSRP. TUF is supposed to be premium. But they'll make a Prime.
 
Holy shit. Stop it with your never ending crusades against Zotac for fuck sakes. Zotac is fine. We dont need yoy coming in and sitting on every Zotac post.

I have been very hesitant to order. Nothing but horror stories on Reddit when I search for their customer care quality. It's basically non-existent. Not talking about the quality of the card. Just not sure about getting it warrantied if anything happens over the next year.

I had to RMA a Zotac several years ago and it was painless from start to finish. Less than two weeks to get the new one. YMMV.
 
Is there a reason why 4090 FEs are still selling for $2000+ on ebay? We've been seeing 5090s come back in stock with multiple options entering $1999 territory.

So why on earth would you buy a 4090 FE, USED none-the-less, when you can get a brand new 5090 for the same price or even cheaper?

My guess is that 4090's can be VRAM modded to have 48GB which is then re sold for AI purposes. I don't believe such an option exist for the 5090 yet since it's using GDDR7 so for now 4090's can have more VRAM than 5090's 32GB limit which is what makes them highly sought after.

I have not been kepping up with the 5090s as the pricing became... well.. stupid.

Have the 5090 FE's come back in stock recently at MSRP?

Might be willing to start paying attention again if they are back in reasonable teritory.

Thanks!
 
Well shit I better sell that blocked 4090 and 4080 super in the next 2-3 weeks then lol. But glad the 5090 are coming back in stock.

Those are a unicorn if if Nvidia is even making any still. Ever AiB is over $3k. Cheapest I seen is $3300 at Microcenter.

And even then often sold out from actual retailers and only available from scalptailers. Only ones in stock at Bestbuy I see are the $3900 ROG Astral and the $3800Liquid cooled Suprim. The rest are 3rd party scalptailers charging things like $4200 for a founders edition. Same deal at Newegg. They have a couple Gigabyte Aorus Masters in for $4000 and then come the scalptailers with things like $5600 ASUS TUF cards.

Basically they have to get pretty expensive before scalpers won't immediately snap them up. In normal times, the answer would be "just wait" nVidia would happily keep flooding the market (as sales are sales to them) and eventually there'd be too much supply for scalpers to do anything. However nVidia isn't making a ton of consumer chips. They only get so much fab time at TSMC and the datacenter shit is in high demand and sells for WAY more so that's what they prioritize.

Sadly, it is just the world we live in.

There are like 30 $3300 5090s at my MC atm.

Nice. Looks like they are able to do that by making them in-store only which makes it much harder for scalptailers to get their hands on them. Sadly there's no Microcenter here so I never get to take advantage of their deals.

I already grabbed my 5090, FOMO got too bad and Newegg had ASUS TUF's in stock some time back. It was like $3600, but was bundled with a PSU so that was a tiny offset.

In the past it was a lot more about when I had something to justify the upgrade for me. Game that wanted for more power, new feature I like, higher rez monitor, etc. So sometimes I'd skip a generation, or get a card later on. Like I skipped the 20 series, it just wasn't enough for me to care about upgrading at the time. I was planning on skipping the 50 series. My 4090 was fine and while the small performance improvement would be nice, it was just not necessary. I also could just buy it later, if I wanted right? It isn't like they were going to be scalped forever... Well then 2 things happened that made me get one:
  1. I got a 240Hz OLED (was using a 120Hz MiniLED before). That makes MFG more interesting. At 120Hz I could just never see using more than 2x as for 3x FG to be useful I'd have to have a base FPS of less than 40 and that is just not a good experience for in my book. But for 240 Hz there's more situations where it is useful. 3x has been great in Cyberpunk.
  2. The AI boom got crazy, and everything started getting bought up, and prices on them kept rising. So I got FOMO bad, that if I didn't get one now, I might never be able to.
And thus I cracked and bought one when I saw one in stock not from a scalper.

That has become difficult to do these days, as availability of the Halo product has sucked.

You just can't sell before you get the new card anymore. The new way is get the new card as soon as you can grab one at a somewhat sane price, then sell the old one. NV has developed a habit of completely draining the channel ahead of a launch. This time they didn't even spare the 4060. With the 40 series launch at least they left the 3060 in the market. They have so much market share now that AMD can't fill the gap, so used prices spike. It's extra nice for 4090 owners this time around. You can still get well over a grand for one. Of course a big part of that is the 5080 can't beat a 4090 unless you count using multi-framegen. If a 5080 was faster it'd largely cap used 4090 prices at less than whatever 5080s are going for.

They drained it so bad they brought back the 3060
