nah, not on general gaming, yeah if they use the card for professional workloads, I bet it wont even render a 4k playback, 4080 literally just crashes and dies, 4090 did it just fine

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

Maybe the price got bumped up on it when there wasn't much cards left in stock?
Pretty mental though considering I managed to get a suprim liquid for cheaper.

i bet you paid 2650?
Nah it's been like this since before 1400 today. It's not just at OCUK either, I saw it at another retailer for a very similar price. Kinda annoying because the form factor is good for me, but a £500 premium for zero performance benefit is just insane to me
It was only a 5080 at £1449

None in particular at this time, which is why I am happy to wait for an FE model.
I can wait months if needed, but they only put them on sale for a limited time.
No choice but to put it up for the highest bid
I can't fathom the idea of spending an entire month's worth of the median UK salary on a GPU, some of you guys must be absolute ballers to be dropping that sort of cash on a gaming component
You must be overestimating median salary mate... these GPUs are well over that
Also to anyone who is after a 5080... there's a brand new sealed 4090 on MM for close to RRP. If I'd ordered a 5080, I'd have cancelled and bought that instead.
But I'm not foolish enough to buy something so overpriced
But if they were readily available today you’d have bought one?
Have you seen the overclocking performance?
Yes and it still doesn't beat a 4090.. yet cost about the same atm.
Why spend double to get same performance as a £750 7900xtx?
Probs why i cancelled the order as soon as I saw preorders open up for the 5090
So my earlier comment about FE being sold in person at the other place launch event. Someone just replied on twitter to me this
"Apparently Nvidia were onsite and decided to let those queuing up to have them. Especially the 5090FE cards, which were thin on the ground already. Scalpers were not the issue this time round. Well spent a straight 4hours refreshing for a 5090, when there was nothing online."
If true Nvidia screwed us over twice lol. Hardly any stock online as most were sold at this event. Which by there own rules shouldn't happen as it's supposed to be strictly via their website and get fulfilled by said company.

I wasn't after one - my price range is <£500 for a GPU
Maybe they want to run RT at an acceptable speed, because the current AMD generation while great at raster absolutely suck at RT.

Doesn't the 7900XTX run RT at a similar level to the RTX 3080? That is still good enough for most people unless you want to run path tracing.
