NVIDIA 5000 SERIES - ***NO COMPETITOR HINTING***


So I'm only about 30 minutes away from this store. Thought that I was gonna go around 5am in the morning tomorrow to give it a try but I totally gave up on that idea now lol. It's like a warzone.

That store is getting 67 5090s but there are more than 100 people in line. There will be 200 5080s but I'm guessing most people aren't camping to get a 5080.

Microcenter is the biggest PC hardware chain in the US but they're getting less than 300 videocards nationwide. Even the state of New York is getting less than 20 5090s total.

I'll give it a try on Nvidia's website tomorrow morning but it's looking like a joke of a paper launch.

Disappointing, but not surprising. My niece is in line at one now, same story.

BB is technically thr biggest PC hardware store in the US by volume and locations by a large margin. MC is more of a specialist store with only ~35 locations.

Which MC is your niece waiting at? For a 5090? I hope she gets lucky.


There are many more Best Buy stores but they sell a much smaller selection of PC hardware but they're the official distributor for Nvidia Founders cards.

MC sells all kinds of mobos, CPUs, GPUs.

Also, BB doesn't do first come, first serve at retail stores. They allow physical pickups but the purchase has to be made on the website first.

Basically the 5080 should be the 5070ti or 5070.

If accurate I am surprised nobody else has been calling this out. Based on current performance estimates it looks like Nvidia are pushing everything below the 5090 up one tier on pricing.

- Old 80 class is now gone
- 70 Ti tier renamed to 80 class for $200 more
- 70 tier now renamed to 70 Ti for $150 more
- 60 Ti tier now renamed to 70 for $150 more.

Even the 5090 is giving similar price/perf to a 4090 because it has had a 25% MSRP increase.

Just quoting myself from a few weeks back. The specs and performance numbers from official Nvidia slides showed this to be the case a while back.

As I said back then, the 70Ti has just had a $200 price increase, not a $50 price cut as Nvidia want you to believe.

The rest of the lower stack have also moved down 1 tier and had a $150 price rise.

At least some tech journalists and influencers are calling this out now. If your favourite journo/tech site is not calling this out, then you need to wonder why.

Just at OG store in Columbus with a few friends who are ditching class. They have a bunch of 5090s there apparently as usual. I'd take issue if she was going for anything but the 5090, although she won't use it for much gaming.

There are 12 5090s there so she has a good chance if she's one of the early ones.

I wonder if any would hesitate at the high price tags even if they were "lucky" enough to get a 5090. Say, if only the 5090 Astral is left, would that person be willing to put down $3000?

Indeed, as posted above by @LeBeast and in turn from Reddit

https://old.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1iddglf/list_of_what_cards_got_sent_to_each_micro_center/

That line at Tustin is much longer than these 5090+5080 combined at the branch.

And then Nvidia and a lot of deluded fools will call the 5000 series a success “cus sold out everywhere innit”.
