NVIDIA 5000 SERIES - ***NO COMPETITOR HINTING***
- Thread starter scubes
- Start date
IIRC they've stated several times, including on the page that it isn't the final price.
I'm remembering the 30 series launch and the 40 series launch and how it turned out the only company that could provide any cards at MSRP was Nvidia for FE's as not even the card manufacturers were selling direct at MSRP.
YupI've no skin in this game either way - any GPU more than £300 is too expensive for me
But when NVIDIA have publicly been accused of trying to cut AIB profit, and retailers are receiving so little stock, can you really blame them for trying to recoup a little more margin to cover the cost of a new product launch?
I find general video card prices these days insane, even at MSRP if you can find anyone (including the manufacturer) who is selling to end users at close to that.

Who else was trying to spot a "90" on the end of a box?
£2700 used to be able to get you an entire top end system, now its "not bad" for just the GPU
christ almighty
If you're paying nearly 2k for a 5080 there is something wrong up there.Those prices for the 5080 are nothing shy of insanity
They don't have single digits for each 5090 model though.. so no, it is not sound.
I’m gonna still give OcUK the benefit of the doubt on the pricing, I had a good experience with 9800x3d and 7800xt at launch pricing.
If it does launch at those prices, then founders it is. Resell value of founders is generally decent.

To be fair, £2700 used to get you a whole house.
Well they do, for each 5090 model they've currently got in the warehouse, the stock will be single digit...
A holiday to the carribbean will only last you a week or 2, this will last several years!

I just mean Asus Astral/Strix is usually about +200 above the next nearest. At the moment all the prices look outrageous.
Yep it's pretty mental how much inflation has happened in pc component pricing.
go back far enough and it could have gotten you a country in all fairness
I'm in Mexico right now, it's 7.24am here and I'm in for a 5090fe. Why not have both!A holiday to the carribbean will only last you a week or 2, this will last several years!
yeah, but still insane to think these are the sort of prices we are talking about these days.
Not a chance way to dear nearly 3 grand nope
Looks like a wall of 80 to me , couldn't spot one 90
sadly most people arent as rich as you or have as much money to spend on these things
