NVIDIA 4000 Series

Really? Because one thing common to many luxury products is relative scarcity vs cheaper products.
Scarcity but usually still available to all willing and able to buy it. Unless you mean super luxurious things like a painting (but then auction), or some very limited edition of products (with 100 only existing), etc. But that is not the case here - it's a luxury product in PC gaming world (because of the pricing etc.), but in the end it's just a GPU.

Seems nobody wants a Palit or Zoltac card then.

Everyone waiting for the Strix stuff???

It is when everything maxed (inc RTX) and in replay mode. Otherwise no.

Ive got everything maxed inc Raytracing with DLSS2 on 4k with DLSS on balanced and get 135fps average (128 low) but my frame rate is capped at 135 for my monitor. Really not needed for the game.
 
4090 (including FE) is a luxury product. If I spill out that much of cash, I expect it to be available, good warranty etc. - and not fight with other people to get one, waiting 24/7 for alert to show up etc. That feels like fighting for scraps instead of feeling joy for getting luxury product. Ergo, I refuse to participate in that.
By the way, if someone missed it, these are available in OCUK (and not only) since yesterday (or longer): https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pali...dr6x-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-06x-pl.html - not much more over MSRP, just ugly as hell. Also, no vapor chamber in this one, higher models have it. This one has just copper plate instead.


What makes luxury product more desirable to many is the fact it is not so easy to obtain due to lack of supply. Porsche are masters of this with their GT cars which are never available to just buy and cost large sums of cash.

MSI Suprim are in stock, had 200 land, not expecting those to last long to be honest. 2610MHz boost VS 2640MHz boost of the X version, so no real difference, be quick!
 
Yes best to wait for an FE if you can.
I got lucky on the drop a few weeks ago. That telegram thing was few minutes late but my discord channel alerted staright away :)
Everyone's on the telegram so got no chance when that works.
Well that kind of sucks as I was hoping Telegram might help me - I don't use Discord so I guess I will just have to take my chances. But, to be honest, I am finding my desire for one slowly ebbing away with the hassle just to buy one.

DO you think these'll be shipped today (for those that picked Saturday delivery)? :D

Gibbo, you did not just compare a silly GPU toy to an actual good car, did you? :D

4090 is a flagship GPU with demand outweighing supply.
Porsche GT product is flagship sports car with demand outweighing supply.

Seems pretty similar cases to me, both masters of their class, both expensive and both very hard to get hold off. :D

But you can't sit in your GPU and go for a joy ride in the sunset, nor any woman will want to date you just because you have 4090! ;) Porsche GT on the other hand... :D

But what about the Metaverse I can go anywhere, meet any girl and go for a joyride and all in 8k so life like, surely that’s the dream. ;)

Nah I agree Porsche sell me a 992 GT3 RS oh pretty please. :D
