Well this the thing, my pc kicks out so much heat I've never used the heating in the last 3 years. Good insulation and a fast pc is all you needWell, my work doesn't demand fast GPU, only entertainment does. Much harder to justify, aside "Shiny new toy, me want!".But yes, shiny new toy, me want! I shouldn't, definitely bad corpo sucking us dry but winter is coming, will save on heating?
Very true and the 4090 has annoyed a lot that only got 3090ti recently too at £2k+ and now the £2k+ game is being played out again while their 3090ti is now half the price...
What did people expect. It’s not like this is the first ever high end GPU release. This stuff has been going on for 20 odd years!
Its not little for such an expensive card. Even 3080 had less stock than that, If I remember correctly OCUK had less than 100 3090 in stock on launch day

Yes, with 120Hz you should always be able to have that FPS with current games and even in new coming games for a while. CPU shouldn't limit you with that refresh rate.

Nic Cage says sooner
there's no high end competition this time. AMD looking a bit limp, their own 4080 doesn't compete. More interest in 4090 now

people viewing and having the money to buy are two different things lol , some people just go on to view out of curiosity to weigh up going for a 4090 or 3000 series

£1600 is very expensive for a GPU however gaming is a hobby and hobbies are expensive. I don’t criticise people for spending thousands of pounds each year for golf.
Viewing doesn't mean buying
Lots of people like to view products through the glass of shops but only tiny fraction actually buys them.

Looking at another site the page viewers are in double figures

Look on the bright side. If you don't get a 4090 today, you can always buy a PS5 + Series X and a 65" OLED instead and have change.

The problem with the 3080 two years ago was the scalpers taking it all and the sites having very little if any bot protection. That has changed now so I am a little more optimistic. However if I get one today then great, if not I will get on with my life and be ok.
That was the great thing about a 2 PC setup, would put the heating on for a hour to warm things up, then I'm in my vest and shorts as it was so hotWell this the thing, my pc kicks out so much heat I've never used the heating in the last 3 years. Good insulation and a fast pc is all you need
They probably won't do anything about prices until all these overpriced 3080's are sold.
How that will happen is beyond me.
Looking at the Nvidia store, there are 3080's for over a grand - double the FE price!
Who's gonna buy those?

Too early surely? You normally need a confirmed order before listing. I see there are two scalped early amazon orders up in the US. A Zotac trinity 4090 for $2,298.85!!!!! They must only be $1599 in the US so a $700 scalp.
