The scalpers seem to be playing a game of chicken with the supply chain. They are stacking up on the rain forest as the scalpers try to clean out msrp cards so that their scalped cards are the only option.

Plugging holes in the dam with their fingers. Lol.

The drops keep coming.

Hardware unboxed said prices will drop by January

Dodgy pound, innit.

Damn that mini budget!

it might if the 4090ti comes out at a similar price
Also 4080/4080ti cards when released will bring down demand on the 4090 series, so possible, if it does, it wont be much, around 5%

but if shortages carry on and demand is high, weak pound getting weaker, it will increase.

A proper 4080 will bring demand down of the 4090. Not that over-priced piece of garbage they are pedaling.

Also if someone has bought an FE from a drop and then sells their GFE invite, I presume **** will reject the order. So risky to buy invites.

To see how pricing is going we need to see what 4090 availability is like in about 4 weeks time.

Even in normal times after a GPU launch there is a shortage and a bit of price gouging for the first 3 or 4 weeks.

Maybe in dollar price they will have, pound will have parity with the dollar by then so they will be just as expensive here.

Dont think **** cares or even checks or how would they even know? I used somebody else GFE invite and it was a totally different address to where they normally deliver that person account to and it got shipped within 10 minutes.

EDIT I just realised what you meant. Yeah the invite can only be used once.

Do I need to get in to this DDR5 ram to use with 4090/i9 13900k or am I ok with my DDR4 ram for 4k gaming for now ? I'm seeing mixed opinions online.

Check out some Frame Chasers youtube, he shows DDR4 as being the better option (for now) over DDR5.

The 13th gen are showing improvements with DDR5, that's according to various YT channel benchmarks. Not huge, but defo showing improvements.

 

[arknor]

it comes from military spending on firepower, it literally comes from the idea that if you have nukes you don't need as big of a standing army as a deterrent, bang as in explosives, buck as in dollars

are you sure it doesn't come from soldiers and sailors in poor parts of the world like vietnam

Not really worth if you already have DDR4 though

 

[hobib_ali]

Anyone know where to get those 4x8pin 4090 PSU adaptor cable from? thin ones?

see them on u tube but not on google to buy.

Spoiler: Original

Fixed it

That depends on how someone values the uplift. It seems it is the 1% lows that benefit most from DDR5 and using the HU data (12 game avg @ 1440p) it is an 8% improvement. Is the 8% worth the extra £200ish for 32gb DDR5, up to the individual

No drops today then by the looks of it.

I really thought I might have got a look-in with the GFE redeem but no luck despite owning a plethora of GeForce cards over the years, got a 3090 MSI Gaming X Trio in my rig and a 3080 FE in my sons. GFE installed on both and account says I've gave them my details first in October 2016.

Are the redeem invites only for the recipient or If anyone has a spare redeemable link going I'd much appreciate it!

Shall we start a pre-order page to profit from someone elses gfe purchase email? Why don't they just send them out to everyone! I guess that defeats the object
