@malachi my work computer routes through Belgium and I couldn't buy one. My personal computer doesn't, and I can buy one. It's a geographic restriction.
Unless there is a lot of volume, this card feels mispriced (or the 4090 should have been more expensive).

The only game I play is Microsoft Flight Simulator (it's amazing for those that haven't tried it), so DLSS 3 was the major incentive for me to upgrade. I am also taking the step from 1440 (ultrawide) to a good high refresh 4K monitor with this generation.
I think overclockers agrees as well
That comment made me go
too, however having read @Wintermute2 excellent and informative posts a few pages ago in this thread and done some further reading, I'm now less .I really want a leather jacket now though!

Thanks OverDriveThat comment made me go

Amazing it's still there... this will be interesting.
A few drops from now perhaps it will simply always be in stock? Makes you wonder how the AIBs will fare if the FE is readily available.
Been a while since they dropped any 4090's however.

Wow, FE4080 listed at 2.46 ...still in stock coming up to 6pm, is this not telling you something Nvidia.
Thanks OverDrive
I know I had a chuckle at this but I do agree with you that Nvidia have got themselves into a right mess over the pricing of both of these cards. Their share price over the next 3-6 months will be an interesting watch.
Adored is so bad lmao
I've been away for the last 5 weeks and sadly missed trying to get a 4090 at launch. Originally I was trying to buy the ROG Strix OC (to replace my very dated ROG OC 1080Ti). However now I'm back, after looking at a lot of reviews, am I missing something, or is there little point in going for a ROG OC at 2.5k (frustratingly 250quid more than when I left) over something like a ZOTAC?
What am I missing?

GN on Nvidia 16 pin response
edit: response seems that the failures are user error by not fully inserting the connector.
Nvidia will cover all claims regardless of if this is the reason and using 3rd party cables.
So pretty good response.

Summary: There are currently 50 cases globally of burning adaptors or cables, this is out of sales of over 125,000 RTX4090 GPUs. The vast majority of these cases were caused by the same issue - the user failed to correctly insert the cable/adaptor into the GPU. Nvidia is doing further research into finding a way to ensure the cable is correctly inserted prior to powering on the GPU.
What's really funny is how much money CableMod and others have no made for basically no reason other than fear; the issue with the burning cables still happens on 3rd party cables because they are all use the same connectors that can have the same user error problems

Zotac are only AIB partner to have 5 yr warranty on their cards now EVGA have left. Whatever resolution you game at, you'll never notice the difference between any of the cards when playing games. Measurable yes - will you feel it in game? no.
Only benchers will be interested in the top cards or builders specific on aesthetics.
Thanks for the reply mate. This is pretty much the summary I was getting to, it's a slight shame as I really don't like the ZOTAC design, but it's significantly cheaper than say the ASUS cards.

CAn't say that - you'll be removing the fact that it isn't NVIDIA's fault for those catastophising about having a fire in the house. It's the only thing combating peoples FOMO and managing not to succumb.
Was interesting to see the bubbling connector. I thought GN had tested for that or tried to make it fail - incorrectly inserted wouldve been the first thing to try before ruining the cable.
