5090 Price

Do we think if someone actually tries to buy one at the place holder price would they explain and turn them down or take the money and stay quiet about it?
 
You cant, there's no buy button.
But hypothetically...
I'm sure seen place holder prices and "preorder" buttons before. Mostly when the scalping nightmare was happening.
I suspect it would actually be a bit of a nightmare for ocuk if it were to actually happen. Can't imagine it's actually all that much fun to suddenly have thousands of someone else's money that you then have to deal with getting back to the right place
 
Those who bought the 4090 at £1500 will have no issues paying an extra 500 quid.
Problem is there's nothing to pay for - as in, I've seen nothing compelling about 5090 that would warrant upgrade from 4090, even if they were same price. It feels like incremental upgrade of 20% in RT and 30% in raster, so far (can't wait to see independent results) for similar price and power use increase. Ergo, no actual improvements in hardware, very similar IPC and very disappointing overall. New FG (ignoring artificial limitations) don't look appealing either. To that Nvidia marketing sounded like it was created for idiots really - loads of rubbish, claiming FG is performance increase (never was and still isn't), 5070 having performance of 4090 (total rubbish by using new FG) etc. I remember with 4000 series they had loads to say about new things in it, not so much now. A big pass from me. That said, happy to see pricing is not going totally crazy this time (5090 doesn't count, it's not pure gaming card and will sell out instantly anyway).

Maybe 6000 series will bring something new to the table, or AMD next generation (not the one coming soon).

I still expect the 5080 to perform about like the 4090D or slower due to export limits. The 4090 was deemed too powerful to ship to China, so Nvidia probably needs the 5080 to slide under that limit to access that market.
That's for sure, cuda cores count and pricing also make me expect that, especially that I see no IPC increase at all this generation. But with fg it will show higher FPS, so plenty of people will get caught with that.

Nvidia can never get the £/$ exchange rate quite right can they :D
Never forget about the VAT and soon tariffs from China will hit USA too. And if they will use that as base for exchange rate, it will hit UK as well.

That said, I can already see prices in few EU stores, hovering close to €2.5k.
