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

[Monkeyboysteve]

Well this is my first try to buy a gpu on release, don't really know what to expect other than it being like gig tickets which I'm usually pretty good with but who knows., I've been a console scrub until I decided to build my first pc recently, good luck.

This is kind of like a gig, except instead of tens of thousands of tickets ... there are less than 10 tickets. (unless OCUK got more stock in the end?) lol

Anybody else getting the nerves?

mine already started 6 months ago

No nerves for me, I would have to be mental to buy the RTX 5080 at those prices, those AIB models cost almost as much as the MSRP of the RTX 4090 FE...Half the performance for double the real price, in performance.

the 5080 is basically a scam, and I hate that word barely an upgrade from the 4080 after 2 years, and only 16gb Vram. It's just a joke.

Is the internet going to crash at 2pm? Serious question.

nvidia store certainly will, in fact I can't get on it now

Yeah but they need to set up a graphics card anonymous for people like yourself

I got on it instantly, it did stutter, but loaded straight up.

700 ppl clicking on the Astral 5090 right now, the other have around 200 too 400 ppl watching the GPU's right now

I agree, people looking at the 5080 need to wait 6 months until the refresh comes with a proper ammount of vram and performance boost.

Waiting for 14:05 when this thread will be flooded with "why has my card been charged 25 grand" messages

This I've never understood. We live in a world where cloud allows for elasticity.

Companies can scale in real time.

Holllllllllld.

Seems like theres still a significant amount of people buying these lemons of a gpu this gen. Good upgrade for anyone coming from 2000 and 3000 series i guess. 2k for the 5090 is sore though and probably 2.2k for AIB models with Asus topping the chart at 3k.

What if there's a captcha at checkout. Is that traffic light overlapping that ******* square or not!!!????

That will probably come in at £1500 for the FE

 

[Shogun_Krayt]

Chat, are excited or what?
