Well we know that the 5090 has twice the hardware. They will do exactly what they did with the 4080 and 4090. The value will be to get the 5090 making people spend more

5090 Price

Does top end price give you top end performance?

I don't think twice the hardware means much to most people unless they get twice the performance. The pay gap between tiers needs to be reasonable IMO, not +1000 for the upsell to work.
I paid £2299 for the Rog Strix 4090. Mental.... Still probably do it again for a 5090... Coz still stoopid
Soldato
Where are you expecting to get these mad discounts on Asus 5090s?
This makes my £1800 for the Strix seem more reasonable....and if (who am I kidding....) I get a 5090 it will be another Strix as I need to match the case/board as I probably won't be rebuilding my PC until Intel/AMD's next CPU line.

£1,499 Gainward Phantom for me with the 4090 18 months ago off of OCUK. If I get a 5090, I'll get the cheapest model or one of the cheapest models again.

Where is this nonsense coming from?
So 16GB isn't enough to last two years but only 4GB more would be fine?
16GB will be more than adequate for a good few years. The 3080 10GB from four years ago still runs 90% of things without any trouble at all.

There's always going to be outliers where nearly no graphics card is good enough for a great experience. At some point in those cases it has to land on the heads of the developers.
LOL at these "hard limits". So if it's £2450 you'd refuse to buy it? Really.....?
I get the "justifying" bit though. In many ways, simply not having the money is simpler as it removes temptation. When you have the money then it becomes a case of justifying it against what else you could do with that much dough.

Don't get me wrong would like one but not paying outrageous prices ..

It's hard to talk about price I suppose in isolation. I need to see 5080 performance and also 5080 price (and AMD's offering). That been said everyone has a budget, I don't earn much but gaming/cinema is my number one hobby and its something I'm going to use everyday in one capacity or another.
Also have to consider the "cost to change". If 4090 values hold relatively strong post-launch then there's an argument you could be better off upgrading sooner rather than later.
My 3080 10gb seems to run things well at 4k medium\high, and while I'm tempted by the 5090 as a sort of last gpu upgrade for a very long time 
maybe a 5080 may be the best lotion instead depending on price of both.
I'm also surprised by the lack of leaks as well, yes some but I feel like there's usually more by now

My old 3080 is in my secondary ITX machine which I take to LANs and friends'. Ok so I can't max everything out with all titles but it runs everything I throw at it at reasonable framerates at 1440p.

I respect that. You own it. You know what you are and you don't shy away from it. Kudos. The amount of peeps who have Strix and suprim X's all 2K+ on release signal virtuing on the 5090 price point.

If 4090s and 4080 PCB and cooler builds are any indication, the extra money spent on AIBs actually does make a difference. If I recall, base models for Zotac, PNY, Gainward, MSI, Inno3D and Palit really cut component costs on coolers and PCB (VRMs), not to mention the reduced power limits the base models normally have. Granted, they'll all run at base spec, but I might recommend spending an extra hundred or two to get a higher-tier card for piece of mind. That said, would I spend an extra 20% for a Strix or Supreme -- no way.
This was unlike with AMD 79xxs where all the AIBs are very good to excellent and over engineered (while ironically, the reference card was sub par).

Will there even be differences in performance between the 5090 Strix and the FE...?
Soldato
On a technical level yes some where better than others. But if it dosn't affect performance and it hasn't led to one brand having more failures, its unnecessary IMO.
@zedd91 the FE was one of the better models internally, along with Suprim and Strix and to a lesser degree the Tuff.
