OP
It's just the launch window that's hard. And by launch window I mean the first 6 months. They usually come back periodically for a few hours during that time.

I think its time to fish out my Nvidia series progression chart.
3070 was there or thereabouts with the 2080Ti in raw performance.
4070 was 3080 level of performance.
If the 5080 is equal to the 4090 it should be doing about 30,000 timespy score at the $1000 dollar point.

Really unsure about whether go 5090 FE and do my own block or go for the aorus 5090 WB as they look to have a model with a block applied this time. I've applied my own blocks to 4090FE and 3080tiFE but this one seems a lot more complicated. Especially with a 3PCB design and liquid metal.

Shame the Ti isn't getting an FE model then...

Yeah 4090 wasn't too bad to get hold of. Absolutely nothing like as much difficulty as getting a 3080/ti

Be careful with Gigabyte blocks, iirc the last one they did was very bad and had some corrosion. Def worth looking up.

Yeah I have seen that tbf. Although they are saying it has a 4 year warranty.

I wonder if this is roughly what we get as raster performance.
Thoughts?

That's 4yr warranty on a pile of **** though
I'd hang fire first and see what others experience, plus it's gonna be £500+ over FE pricing anyhow.

Fair enough. Yeah tbh though seems like QC issues are propping up in a few companies. I stopped using Asus monitors because their QC was awful, I stopped buying EK blocks because the RGB cables were so fragile and would just break off.
Is there a basic guide somewhere? Completely forgot about this. And why do I suspect nvidia will just change the $ for £ and not bother with the exchange rate?
Now to keep an eye out for the white cards, probably a 5080 then AM5 next year.

FE cards are also cheaper then third market so that £2k u see there is not really the price of a 5090 that most will pay for
Really? that's stupid

True but day 1 Nvidia mandates all partners offer some cards at msrp (always none OC ones, but that's a meaningless tag anyways).

Do we know of any brands other than Aorus doing cars with waterblocks pre installed?
