Nothing like a last minute delay to illustrate you have PLENTY of stock.

Ffs I was eyeing up the MSI one

Am I the only one who just feels totally underwhelmed by this launch?

For those with a 4090 maybe but for those that skipped the 40 series they are probably ready to upgrade.

U.S. only so far I believe. MSI U.S. also confirmed there will be stock in retailers, just not their on MSI US store (don't think there is a UK site).

In the short term, only affects Americans and anyone who's wholesalers buy from the USA, such as Canada.

In the long term, if more manufacturing moves back to the USA, it means higher costs for the whole world

Last time Trump floated crazy tariffs it was estimated it would increase the retail prices of affected electronics by between 20 and 50%

Nvidia GPUs are manufactured in Twain, aren't they? If Trump imposes taxes on chips/GPUs exported to the US and reduces demand it could increase supply to the rest of the world and put downward pressure on prices

I'm a 4090 owner, but it's just a matter of cost to performance. From what I've seen the 5090 is basically a 4090ti at over 2 grand.

OK cool

Yes exactly. This is it

 

[Absolutely Clueless]

OK cool

But given there have been so few AIB 5090 reviews, and how well the Suprim was reviewed....., don't get your hopes up if you want that card.

 

[Rawr]

don't get your hopes up if you want any card.

Fixed that for you, lol.

That and the fact availability is not sounding good for this release.

Thanks for correcting my major typo

So if this event at the competitor. What is the expected prices for 5080?

I’m thinking people will turn up and the prices will be inflated anyway. So turning up to buy something I don’t know the price of seems like a bad plan…

They would inflate prices over the website prices?

It is pretty much an overclocked 4090, with an extra 200W give or take, of power needed to achieve it.

Better memory for sure, woohoo.

You missed the 'added coil whine' feature with the FE model. I think many of us here agree it is more useful than MFG.

I wonder when they even started production to only barely having a thimbleful of chips at launch

 

[RoyMi6]

Anyone got any idea when the 5080 embargo is lifting? Surely we’re getting to see some kind of performance before we hit the buy button?

A rumour said September, which I think is clearly a lie. I'm guessing 99.95% of capacity has been switched to DC/AI GPUs, although I think the hold up on that side has been packaging, so perhaps not.

Tomorrow.

Pretty sure it's not up until they go on sale, expect to be disappointed

If you skipped the 40 series the 50 series isn’t exactly going to be much better in fact price to performance on AIB cards will likely be worse than that which was available from the 40 series refresh this past year.
