The MSI Ventus has been the only non FE GPU under £2000, briefly £1940 elsewhere. The Palit has definitely been the most plentiful of the "cheaper" cards.

And then remember when nV announced sub-$2000 MSRP, many of us warned it was a trap and street price would still be £2500 for most... And then people we surprised Pikachu.

Oh yes I remember the comments from the other OCUK members here.....

Is that meant to be really loud but insanely cheap for an AIB ( why oh why didn't palit spend an extra £30 on fans )

 

[BountyNunes]

I'm really on board for a mid or high ish model. Aorus Master, Astral or Suprim. If not I'll be fine with a Zotac I guess. The Gigabyte Gaming OC could be an Option but at the price I don't know really. Let's wait and see. I've sold my ROG 4090 Gaming OC already

I've got one and it's fairly noisy. Not the noisiest card I've ever owned, but louder than my old Inno3D 4090. I can't really hear it when I'm gaming with headphones on, though.

In other respects, it's fine. Temperatures are good - better than that Inno3D 4090 - and it's been perfectly stable with a decent undervolt (which also reduces the noise a bit).

What temperatures do you reach when gaming with an undervolt? (E.g. at 450-500w).

 

[Awahwah]

Did you undervolt? Do you have all air cooling on your rig? Thats what mine is so wondered if thats compounding it.

All air now. No under volt.

Guys, do any of you happen to remember what the initial launch price was here on OCUK for the 5090 Astral?

 

[Gibbo]

Some 5090's have dropped.

It’s been as low as £2670, so i’ll assume that is around the MSRP. Can’t remember launch pricing, sorry.

I believe pre order price was 2600 or 2700.

Thanks, Gibbo. Prices trending downwards for some of the Gigabyte models which is great to see.

 

[egraphixstudios]

Asus LC dropped by £200. nice.

 

[craigypnoob]

nooo i think i missed the 5090 ice

Me too - I had it in my basket when in stock but went out of stock by the time I got to payment. Closer

 

[Jae-So]

Yeh the 4090 is just going to sit there for now - the small side projects I have I can easily do with my spare 1070 if I need to (but nothing that even needs that right now), so I'm leaning towards selling up.

When I get back to doing the more intensive work (design, video rendering etc.) that's when the 4090 would be useful again but TBH I won't be doing that for a few months.

I'll be honest when I get back to it, the 5090 will help me do that work faster than a 4090, but it probably won't be world's apart. But the legitimate tax situation (all above board and vetted with my accountant), means I can sell now for £1,200 and with my adjusted spend being ~£1,600 later, I would get an upgrade for about £400.

So sold the GPU and pretty happy with the decision.
Now that a mate wants me to build him a PC I'm thinking I'll just sell him mine minus drives (and obviously GPU).
Start again when I want a PC again, but thinking next time I'll have to go all in for my first water-cooled rig.

For now, I'll just use my gaming laptop with 3070Ti laptop chip.

Although I did peak at the 5090 stock

And good to see they are coming down in price although probably due to Trump playing silly games with the markets I assume.... had the Astral OC been that price at release i would have preorder one from OCUK....
