NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - OFFICIAL PRE-ORDER THREAD!
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
I think if I was to upgrade to an RTX 5090 from an RTX 4090, I'd go for the Gigabyte AORUS MASTER model, it looks the best visually.
Reviews apparently go live on the 24th January, so there will be a few days to take in reviews before deciding.

In other news sold my RTX3080 and now just running the onboard GPU on the 7800X3D. I'm surprised it's doing 5120*1440p @ 240hz I expected it to struggle for some reason. Got a GTX1060 on the way to use as a backup if needed but will probably just keep in the cupboard for a rainy day and just go without gaming for a couple weeks now*

Similarly I sold my RTX 4070 Ti Super and some other cards ready for new generation cards, and I'm using an RTX 3070 in the interim. From what I've seen so far I am genuinely thinking of skipping 5000 altogether, just has nothing that enticing about it. Rather keep the money I got back for my RTX 4070 TI,S and keep using the 3070, if I need to use DLSS either way, it just seems pointless spending money?!
I will wait for proper reviews though..

Interesting, these prices have changed since my post above.
Cheap Zotac is now a very specific £2,279.

How does the discord side of it work?
Do you see anything for MSI and Gigabyte SKUs?
No, those ones aren’t listed by that retailer yet.

There's Discord servers you can join that have bots in them that constantly check stock levels and will @ your role and ping you the second they come back in stock. I used one to get the 3080FE back in the day, but the one I used doesn't seem to exist anymore. I'm sure there's others that'll pop up.

If you don't mind, give us a ping if they list any MSI or Gigabyte RTX 5090 models, would be interesting to get an idea of where they will land.

Nvidia make more selling chips in bulk to AIB's and then undercutting them with the FE's, its called having your cake and eating it. The only way they can make any money is by bolting on every bell and whistle and hope to add value.

Been that way since 30 series.
Should just ditch the AIBs now. Nvidia can just make their own models. You don't see MSI making an iphone do you.

Were did you see that price?

A lot of us here told all y'all, but people were jumping around like a bunch of school girls at as slumber partyh when nV announced prices last week. I specifically said immediately after AIBs would be tacking on £200 for even their lowest-rung models, and then another £1-200 for retailer mark up. RRP is smoke and mirrors.
who argued that? AIB's always charge more than the FE??

Not always. There were definitely AIB models at Ampere and Lovelace releases that were right at RRP e.g. PNY, Inno3D, Zotac, Gigabyte, -- I know, I bought a few. And there are posts in this thread with people stating they were going to shoot for low-end AIB models that should be close to RRP.
What about the 5080?
All 3 Zotac cards are currently showing £1439.99. Based on the 5090 prices I'd expect that to be the price for the AMP Extreme INFINITY SKU.What about the 5080?
