Probably best to wait, many markets are expected to crash in coming months and a lot of used cars will drop in price, some may not but I suspect many will, but as with all things if you have a particular spec in mind and it comes up at a fair price then buy it because it took me about two months to find my latest acquisition in the specification I wanted and when I did it I went for it, could get burnt or might be OK, but purchased to enjoy it, not an investment.

Yeah I sold my previous toy after constant badgering from my friend to sell it to him. I am in no real rush as winter weather where I stay can be rough, so limited options to really enjoy it at the moment.
Best to sit on the cash, await for people to start selling up, predict could be some epic deals January-March on cars. General used car market pricing is already collapsing.
Yeah, problem is I have no absolutely no idea what I want. I have a nice daily driver, so this will just be a fun car that I will only use on a nice day (which is rare here)
£1700 for Strix at release so a £300 bump over FE msrp which was £1400 ..... it soon grew to £1300 over msrp

I am kinda baffled how the prices that are currently up have 300 to 400 pound price different ! How does that work lol ? Even if these cards are slightly OC you are looking at a max of manybe 3-5 FPS MORE MAX ! So extra 1 x FPS is not worth £100 !

So whats the general consensus then? I kinda want to get a 4090 but would only go FE as the AIB prices seem insane. Would also need to get a WB as I have custom loop. Can afford, just want to know if the performance in any way justifies the price. I'm coming from a 3080ti. 4080 doesn't appeal to me as a worthwhile upgrade at the price it is.
FE review embargo is tomorrow, we'll know then.

Going for FE or the cheapest AIB possible.

Good for you man !Unfortunately not, our company policy is no bonus / profit cut on items sold, it could create bad advice, which is why I will openly post that people who are gaming should be looking at 3060Ti for example or other deals. Does the company look after me and are they great to work for? Absolutely! I've been here now over 20 years.
That is because my salary did not pay for it, I made some sound investments in the last few years which in general my portfolio did very well and I cashed out, paid the tax man and enjoyed what was left over.
Can you confirm how many 4090 Units you have in stock ready to ship ? Be honest.

I'm in the same boat as you got the 3080ti fe working out if it's worth an upgrade.
Mainly on msfs in vr with the g2. Be nice to bump up some more settings and scaling.
Hopefully snag one will need to upgrade PSU too as only 750w.
I went full on geek mode and made this chart just to keep tabs on sizes and power requirements.

Still awaiting more stock to arrive, so far we have:
300+ units in stock right now.
Expected to arrive today/tomorrow we have a further 300-400 due in.
So all been well around 600-700 cards for launch if rest of deliveries land with Gigabyte and Zotac having the healthiest stock amounts.

I think demand will increase substantially tomorrow. Early rumours are likely +80% in Rasterization, +100% in RT from a 3090, reviewers are very positive on the card.

Can you give any idea if any cards will be within £100 of the MSRP?

It's almost like 2 node jumps in one coming from the Samsung one, so performance is really very strong.

Are you allowed to say which ones?We hope to have a couple of cards around £1799 yes.
Then I can open them in my browser and keep smashing F5 at 2pm.

If it turns out its 80% gain then PC fan boys will buy it , I generally know I don't really need it because I only really play World of Warcraft in 4k lol but then again I do like the idea of playing Cyber punk in 4k and RDR2 at 4K Ultra with smooth game play & As sad as it sounds I spent about 7 hours pretty much everyday on my pc , gaming , watching movies , editing so when you taken that in to account 2K isnt that much money to have the best.
I am afraid not, I shall reveal more an hour or two pre launch on Wednesday.
They will of course be the more basic AIB offerings, the top-end OC models will be priced higher.
