Handhelds and laptops too... No one needs to worry about AMD graphics section they are selling a lot of chips in other markets Nvidia is not even in.
I suspect the FE will be sold out again for at least a few months but the AIB models will be readily avalible, pre-scalped for your convenience
Another reason why selling a 4090 now is foolhardy. Hang on and it will more than tide you over for a few months until pricing and availability of the 5090 stabilises.
You may lose a bit on the resale but the alternative is being stranded without anything (decent) for months and, as I've said here before, if you have the disposable to have a 4090 and be upgrading to a 5090, you're not going to care much about saving a couple of hundred quid.
Or gain, depending on the price of 5k series - used 4090 might be sought after at that point. There's a reason why Nvidia already stopped production, months before 5000 series being released - all we can see in stores now are just left over stock that seems to be quickly selling out and prices are raising already. But the bad thing is that there was never any real discount in the later lifetime for it - seems Nvidia finished doing these.
Rubbish, I definitely did buying 4090, would if upgrading to 5k and will when upgrading eventually to 6000 (or later) series.

I bet a lot of people bought a 4090 on Finance

To be fair, you're probably right. I hadn't actually considered that as using credit to buy something like a high-end GPU is a total anathema to me.
Yeah, for sure. If they keep this cycle up, they are essentially renting their GPU off their CC company

Iirc Nvidia were running some cheap/0% deals on the FE models at one point.

Thanks you just given me an idea

Many times i think to myself if it is better to pay for something high priced like this monthly instead of outright
As i hate watching my bank balance drop a few K

hmm.. turning out to be a long wait. heres some more guesswork by media
www.techradar.com
Nvidia RTX 4080 Super GPU could run low on stock imminently, with a possible double whammy of RTX 5080 and 5090 launching together soon
RTX 4080 Super might follow in the RTX 4090’s footsteps with price hikes

Only a genuine idiot would do that. Unless it's revenue generating why would you go into debt for a graphics cars? Bizarre.

If that's the case there is a lot of idiots running about! Billions worth of products are put on finance that definitely do not generate money

ayyylmao, modern economies, especially in developed nations, are largely driven by debt and the majority of the population is financially illiterate. It wasn't long ago that a study showed that almost half of British adults had £1,000 or less in savings, with 25% having less than £200, meaning they would struggle to cover living expenses for more than a month.
Fear of missing out and easy access to thousands of pounds on buy now pay later is a helluva drug.

This thread is already going off topic again. Supposed to be about Blackwell and not financial advice.

Then why have you liked a post that is off topic
There is no new information on Blackwell to discuss. The cost of these products and how people will buy them is relevant.

I wouldn't disagree there are a lot of idiots out there.
That's where the trap lies - people don't see money going away so add more and more 0% credit purchases and suddenly wake up with huge amount of debt they have trouble paying back etc. And eventually they don't even notice it's not 0% anymore either. It's all very well designed to remove friction just to make one spend more than one can afford.
