LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTY
This warranty applies only to the original purchasers of the Warranted Products from an NVIDIA-authorized third party or www.nvidia.com ; this warranty will not extend to any person that acquires a Warranted Product on a used basis.

Oops, but I bought it from a colleague who will do any returns if required. But that does reinforce my point.

I'm going to queue outside the other shop and try and get a 5080/5090 depending on what they have.

Unlike the person who sold it for £650, which is almost a charity.

I think these 5000 series lacklustre prices and performance is going to embolden AMD with the RDNA4 prices.

Some warranties do not transfer. So buying used on a GPU over £1000 is a risk. My 4080FE is used bit that has a transferable warranty tied to the card, not the buyer.

I would not buy a used GPU for over £500 unless the seller was prepared to include the original purchase receipt.

Why would you not be comfortable buying a used GPU? Most big brands have 3-5 year warranties so buying one use almost certainly means you still have warranty left?

Warranties being “transferable” can be dependable on a number of things - including whether it’s tied to an initial registration which may or may not be the original purchaser. If a card has been RMA’d before the manufacturers is more likely to turn around and says ‘no’ knowing that you have little to no recourse against them - especially if it’s a noisy card.

It’s a perfectly valid choice to buy use, but it does come with increased uncertainty and risk - which is something that anyone buying used ought to consider and accept. It’s part of the trade off for a lower price.

You can mitigate that risk by doing some research on how a manufacture has acted re: used RMAs, as you suggest.

These early leaked figures for the 5080 look so bad.

Unless people REALLY need a new card I would wait for the inevitable Ti which should at least give some more memory and a bit extra performance. 5080 looks like it has the potential to be the worst 80 series performance increase in recent memory.

Apple famously stop selling their pro models each year lol. They only keep selling their budget/mid options and not the high end

OK fair but that's just one out of 3 companies I listed that do sell there high end last gen items

10gb vram on 3080 is really killing me!

Not everyone is comfortable in buying a used pc component, especially a gpu.

And to see the prices of a used gpu being over 1k as well is shocking as well.

Anyways, even Samsung and apple still keep selling older models once there new flagship is out. Why can't Nvidia do that.

Heck you can still even buy a amd 7800X3D cpu as well brand new...

I certainly wouldn’t be happy with a used GPU.

I honestly thought places would still have 4090 stock, I’ve just checked and I was wrong.

It could go either way. The previous gen could go up in price due to the next gen being crap, or it could make the previous gen look like a bad move if the uplift is better than expected.

Yeah, they have done this bait and switch for a few generations now. £1000 for what historically would have been a 60Ti card.

AMD are almost as bad, and I say “almost” loosely because if they had the market share they would be just as bad. Look at the Ryzen CPU prices once they gained dominance.

I remember the 3060ti going for £1000 during crypto and now Nvidia has managed normalise that pricing by putting lipstick on a pig

5080 leaks seem to suggest performance is well under 4090.

I guess any 5080 Ti that would offer any meaningful increase would have be on the 5090 die and so might end up using quite a lot of power. The 5080 is already using all the GPU SMs and the clocks are already super high so that doesn't leave much room for a refresh on that die other than to add more VRAM which might not even help in most games.

I got lucky, I was fortunate with my launch 4090 and my launch 3080......nabbing a launch 5090 in India is going to be unbelievably tough.

One of the most respected retailers here has a similar story......maximum 7 to 8 AIB units on the 30th......some of those are already predestined for prebuilt orders he has.....so I have to wait and see.

I was expecting to drop around 250,000 INR on a 5090.......this might get closed to 275,000 INR to be honest (around 3k GBP)......

With the paper launch.....gonna 100% have to pay over the odds.

Question is why you are going after a 5090 when you have a 4090?

Unless you sold it.

Any updates on the whole "Nvidia hiding hotspot temps"?

Parple · 2025-01-29T10:14:05+0000

After seeing the latest 5080 benchmarks it makes me even sadder that I sold my 4080 Super. Did it a few weeks ago thinking I was being smart in preparation for the 5080. Day I sold it the leaks of poor performance came out. Looks like I'll be paying £250+ (non-FE) extra for less than 10% performance if I manage to get a 5080.

damn, ppl selling 4080s to get a 5080 is like giving Nvidia a few hundred quid for free

Never had issues with it as long as the seller provided me proof of purchase (which is pretty much always a PDF). I had bigger issues when buying from smaller shops as then vendors complained it's not authorised seller and I had to argue with them to get any warranty - and that wasn't second hand, plus the store was gone by then.
