There was always a fear of somebody else making a break through with Ai, whether it was new tech or lower cost tech at the same performance.
Just thought Nvidia would have "absorbed" said person/s to nip it in the bud.
Of course it came from China, probably refined using Nvidia tech as well lol

A100 cards apparently. 50K of them according to the BBC article.
Been looking around at UK prices and on another site I'm finding the 5090 Astral for £2640 , the Tuf for £2500 and a Palit Gamerock at £2100. These prices aren't showing on the main page but can be worked out by filtering prices .....If these prices stick come release day then the Astral will have the same amount added over msrp than the 4090 had which was £700 ( 4090FE £1700 , Strix £2400 & 5090FE £1940 , Astral £2640 )
Imagine paying £200 over "RRP" for a Ventus, the Dacia Sandero of card models.
It's basically the same as spending an hour of looking at this thread... I'll save you the time: disappointing performance, overpriced, tainted by flagrant lies by nV in marketing, you'll pay RRP+++, lack of stock. But at the end of the day and in a vacuum, still decent products.
Blackwell is reminding me more and more of the nV 400-series. Hot (at top end, at least), power hungry, over-ambitious marketing, low supply... but sort of ok-ish, especially if you were coming from a cared that was two generations old. In that vein, I was coming from a GTX 280 when I went to 480 SLI, so it made sense in the same way it might make sense for someone using a 3090 to move to a 5080. Even so, 400-series still had a way better performance uptick and pricing. Actually, I've changed my mind... 5000-series is worse.

The lack of other options underlines precisely why this generation is so bad.
I remember the 40 series coming out and how poorly they were received. Even Linus boycotted them! Now they look like the last bastion of good GPU generations
An alleged 700 extra for a 5080 tuff, jesus christ. How does asus stay in business? Their motherboards can be OK price wise but their gpu prices are just absolutely mental. I have a hard time believing that they sell with the insane markups they slap on them.
They took the pricing pisstake prize last time with that crappy aio matrix 4090 for 3 grand, seems this time around will be no different. They're bound to trot out another matrix 5090 for 3200-3500 at least later in the year or sometime next year.

LOLYou're not allowed
All them prices are in $ and need 20% vat adding on but yeah that 5080 Tuf looking to cost £1632 , will be better off going with a Suprim soc , it will have a better pcb than the Tuf and cost a good bit less if that list is to be believed. Asus taking the **** as per normal but nothing new there tbh
Ironic since the more you pay for a motherboard normally, the more features and actual useful hardware you get. I've owned cards from quite literally every AIB out there, still in business or defunct (except Manli), and have done RMAs with my fair share over the years. I've also pulled apart my fair share and examined PCBs and components. One key point I am of which I'm sure: there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for Asus' price premium. I have heard they want to be the "Apple" of AIBs -- they are no Apple.
And the 5090, gotta.maintain that e-peen!
Don't I know it! Currently using my 3090 as a heater until I dare crack it open to repaste the lot. Was hoping the 5090 was going to be a bit better than what we landed with though
The best thing about this gen is that everyone is now getting access to the transformer model DLSS which due to having better image quality it now means people can run say balanced mode and get the same image quality of the previous CNN quality mode which will mean and free boost for everyone with an RTX card.
Some americans have already started to queue up as of yesterday...
