So after xmas is out of the way i want to spend a bit on the PC

One of the upgrades id like is my 4080S. I feel a 5080 might be similar performance so that only leaves the 5090.

I do game at 4K but im still trying to convince myself that its money well spent as even with the money id get back the 4080S its gonna cost a bomb

So please talk me out of it

I have a 4080 and feel the same upgrade itch but this late into this stack, and with these ******* ABSURD prices - it's just not it. Like if instead of a GPU I could buy like, a motorcycle, or a nice used car, or a snowmobile - something... something's not right. IDC how big the die is, or how many fans it has, or how much RND went into it - it's a ******* computer chip, it shouldn't be as much as a speedboat

Do you actually know how purchasing an FE card works? Clearly not.

You're perfectly within your rights to disagree, but I think I know what's happened here, where we're at in this little exchange.

You appear to have mistaken me for someone who gives a monkeys what you think.

OP, I think you can clearly see where the good advice in this thread is.

ofc I know, the problem, as mentioned, is that there aren't any in stock, so until you can show me where to buy an £1800 5090FE, you're lying, I wish I'd have listened to my son now, when he said that the 5090FE were in stock on the marketplace still, and to buy to then sell later, maybe he isn't that daft afterall

Go argue with the family. They might care about your mentalist ramblings :cry:

So, you cannot back up your argument with any fact, okay. sucks to be you, then, liar. maybe you just didn't know that nvidia removed the 5090FE from their marketplace in September, guess that you are only human
Nothing to argue about at home, everyone is happy here today

Just one word that invalidates everything you have to say. When that's what you resort to, it says far more about yourself than the person you're aiming it at. Glad things are happy for you :cry:

Now, do the OP a favour and stop derailing his thread. You have your incorrect view and I have mine. The main point against yours being the wisdom of spending 1700 quid on a second hand 4090, it wasn't actually about the availability of Founders cards, merely that stupid idea you came up with. I notice you've also not provided any good reasons to do that.

Because there aren't any :cry:

the 5090 FE was last in stock 2 days ago at £1800

£1700 on a second hand 4090 is ludicrous

That's quite a sensible view, we'll have none of that around here.

Sure - but something is still a bit off here, outside of the usual aggressive capitalism. They definitely keep demand(and prices) high artificially. I remember the first few months of the 5000 series, retailers were getting like 20 gpus for the entire chain. Just complete nonsense.

Telling someone to buy a FE isn't real advice. It's not realistic. You'd have to beat out hundreds(thousands?) of bots. Here in Canada, bestbuy gets a shipment of them like maybe once every 3 months, and the 4090/5090 are in stock for maybe a few seconds. It isn't real advice to recommend that whole ordeal.

Well it was more about telling someone not to spend 1700 quid on a second hand card, the FE was still able to be got here for a lot longer than previous releases, there just wasn't the hype around the 5000 series that there was around the previous two releases. Either way, if you have 5090 money the thing NOT to do is spend 1700 of it on a second hand and likely warrantyless card.

But don't listen to me, I'm a liar :cry:

TBF you still have not shown where to get a 5090FE for £1800, maybe you don't know how to get a FE card? :cry:

What exactly is your advice now anyway?

In the UK its really really easy to get a FE card for MSRP. They are regularly stocked and stay in stock for days.

Jesus wept, that I'm expected to explain where I got this graphics card I'm currently running in a place where I'm expressly forbidden from mentioning competitors, truly amazing. I guess that also answers your question on whether I know how to get a Founders Edition card.

My advice now to the OP and anyone else unfortunate enough to have read through our exchanges? To listen to the opinions of everyone else who has contributed to the thread with the exception of one contributor.

I think that'd be it.

it's all the AI modellers, that's a massive wedge of users wanting these cards. That demand, coupled with normal buyers, is huge!, it was the same with crypto, and the 30 series, same ***, different launch
