So stupid they send out items like this, i know double packing is more resources. But cardboard is cheap and recyclable and adds a lot more protection from a dodgy delivery person. I ordered a, i know, prebuilt for my partner and the box came labeled with company name on the side. Anyone with any knowledge, would know its a pc inside based on the size of the box, wasnt happy it came like it, but luckily was delivered.
well a few years ago someone ordered a 3090ti, opened up the box and was filled with a wine bottle or somthing, they couldn't establish if it was intercepted in the GPU factory, the distribution process or the courier driver pulling a fast one or it could have been a dishonest customer, in the end the retailer sent out a new order, always use credit cards for the protection.I'm really surprised my 5080 never got stolen. Just been delivered and it was just shipped in the branded box with a label stuck on it
£200 to much, should be less than a grand or 1100 at most, on average 5080s goin for 1500

Well done. Only saw the 5090 in stock, awaiting the 5080 fe.Uk FE just dropped, managed to get hold of one
I am 99th in line for the Zotac Solid 5090 (If thats the one you are referring to?) I calculated that at the rate the number is going down from launch day I will get to first in line by the 23rd June. Lets hope there are larger stock shipments before then because that is painful. The worst launch in my experience.
Question as someone who hasn’t upgraded a PC for a long time (I’m still running a 1070T!).
I got a new Corsair RM1000x a few weeks ago as my PSU fan was loud. I went for the 1000W in preparation for the 5000 series.
The PSU says it’s ATX 3.1 ready (PCIe 5.1 with 12V-2x6).
Should I be using the cables that came with the RM1000x to power the 5090 when it arrives, or using ones supplied with the GPU?
The guy in the post linked looks like he’s using some sort of extension?
The more this goes on, the more I want to make sure I’m doing it 100% right!
Either will work fine. The various posts, videos and so forth have been overblown and relate to third party cables used (i.e. not provided by PSU/GPU maker) and or foolish, elaborate connections by people.
Yeah same got one aswell, makes this upgrade from a 4090 to 5090 just £240 as sold my 4090 FE for £1700
lol that is incredible. Who on earth is buying a 4090 FE for that?! More than MSRP 2 years later, used….? Wtf..??

Did think about getting the 5090 fe when briefly in stock. But CEX would give me approx £1,100 for my 4090, so £800 extra for 20% extra performance, not worth it.
I know can get more on the bay but they'll always side with buyer even with fake complaints.
And a new £200 PSU too, my 850w would restrict the 5090 by 5-10 %
