NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

Torn betwen 5080 now or wait till Super next year, coming from an 3080.

Problem is you can be stuck playing the waiting game instead of enjoying a new card.
The Super will also get a price hike I imagine and with the FE's in stock it maybe a good time to make the move

Swings and roundabouts when midway though a generation
 
Well, the "beast" ( 5090 FE ) has landed and been installed. A few thoughts : card is much slimmer than the 4090, don't need a right angle adapter for the power cable ( to fit in my Lian Li 011 case ) and it raises my CPU temps a few degrees ( haven't undervolted yet ). Also, special mention to the external packaging - very "Apple-esque" and eco friendly ; will make for excellent fuel when the card burns my house down ;)

730am Sunday, still available!
Another 12 hours later... Still available.

I really wish I could justify the purchase to myself (and I'd also have to really stretch the wife economic logic to another dimension) because I do love the design of the FE model. Would pair nicely with the 4k 240hz monitor as well...

Just do what I do and say it's a big fan for the PC.

Say it's for male health and it will increase your quality of life... by letting you game more :D
 
i should have waited until now to get a 5090. next time i will wait 6 months after 6090
That's also about the same kind of timeline that the 4090 FE become more easily available. That released in Autumn 2022 and I wasn't able to get the FE until Spring 2023 with Diablo 4 being bundled in (which I still haven't played). We should all just wait 6 months+ in every time so the scalpers can just cry on their piles of GPUs being unsold.
