Tech Powerup review by Wizzard is my go to.

Gamers Nexus, TechPowerUp, Hardware Canucks, Hardware Unboxed, Paul's Hardware. Ironically, Notebookcheck has very solid GPU reviews, but often not on launch days.
There are also a few non-english languages ones e.g. Germany, Romania, France I trust. I steer clear of others as a lot are now essentiallh pay-for-review at the end of the day.

Yeah I think so too, not double, but £200 mark up.
But since when does resale value matter so much when one just smashes their 3090 with a hammer and the other just says hell with it just spend £1600 or more on a GPU like it was normal?
This is why I am finding all these posts hilarious
Anyway. Enough of that. I will move on
They were all conditioned during the pandemic to accept this as normal pricing, i bet a lot on here even paid scalper prices so paying 2k plus is nothing out of the ordinary. Nvidia has done a wonderful job in keeping prices nice and high… what’s that saying? “Pre-scalped for your convenience”?
You just know it's going to be next to impossible to get a 5080. No one in their right mind is going to pay over £2k for a GPU just to game with and with the 5080 seeming like a bargain in comparison it's going to be massively in demand to anyone not already using a 4090 or 4080/super. Completely kills any sort of excitement for me.

Eh... Guru3D is known to equivocate and rate up bad products. Also, I find the depth of the analysis rather mid even for early 2000s.
I can recommend purepc.pl. i find them one of the best. Easily understandable with translator - they are one of the only sites left that take proper care in finding gpu-bound test locations and also supply saves where possible to test for yourself.

Plenty of us would pay that in our right mind
I almost paid £2K for a 4090... £1869 or something like that for an MSI Suprim.
Problem is there could be less than a hundred or a thousand 5090's available at launch? Through all vendors, so the chance of getting one becomes improbable.
Hopefully there's more stock of the FE so there is a better chance of getting one.

Reviews are up later today aren't they? Be interesting to see how the 5000 series performs.

Well its ~30% increase in raster for about 25% increase in price, so very slightly better value

I believe today is the day yes!
I think it might only be the 5090 though, with the other cards coming in over the next week

I thought it was on the 24th
they moved it to today 2pm.
Not when they are pre scalped it isn’t. At this point trying to argue a 5090 is going to be better price/perf than a 4090 as some sort of “bonus”, is like arguing a punch in the face is better than a kick in the balls.
At least if anyone is going to buy a 5090 for £2,500, just own it.

What’s funny is that people are comparing the price of the 4090 FE in nvidia store to the Third party 2.3k version of the 5090 when the 4090 third party versions were also 200-300 bucks more then teh 4090 FE …..Not when they are pre scalped it isn’t.
