Great card. Shame it's on the same node. Too expensive. See you at 2pm next Thursday to try and get one anyway! :cry:

I have. Unfortunately being thick I sold my 4090 4 weeks ago. So will get a 5080

Yup, me. Although that was more when I found out there will be single digit stock of the 5090. Not gonna participate in those clown games this time, I waited a few months for the 9800X3D to get in stock I can wait for the 5090

Same here. It was possibly ill advised selling my 4090 even though it was at a profit. Still a 5080 that gets me most of the way there for a lot less isn't so bad. Not completely ruling out a 5090 but super disappointed were going into another gen of mass coil whine on launch.

Ouch, although i understand the logic it must feel like a bit of a kick in the balls going to a worse card.. espically if you have to go the AIB route for a 5080 as that means more of a loss

I just got in from work so will dig into the reviews now. Yes and no to your question. I have been rocking a 3050 and honestly I've had 10% less experience than with my 4090 in terms of enjoyment. I'm sure that number would increase with Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2, but honestly those are the exceptions. It's opened my eyes up a fair bit honestly.

This is how I feel after selling my 4090 and buying a 7700XT as a stop gap. No way I am spending 5090 money on a GPU again any time soon.

Do you know what card you will get next mate?

It may have been covered already, but there is an unverified post on Reddit saying that corporate customers have largely procured the retail stock allocation from etailers before things go live next week. That might explain why the cards are single digits and it would be a repeat of the Crypto shenanigans.

Surely that would be breaking the distribution agreement risking future allocations?

I imagine if a corporate customer lines up a deal to buy all but a handful of stock at 2pm on launch day it's much of a muchness. Etailers can claim low allocation, sell a few cards to retail and then build a pre-order list for the drips and drabs of stock as it arrives post launch vs any bigger supplies built up for launch day.

Underrated card the 7700xt. Bought one for my son at Christmas and mightily impressed with it.

Checked out the GamersNexus review, my fear was that it would include frame generation and make it hard to work out what the gains are but they did a completely traditional review. Looks like decent gains across the board, with that clarified will look forward to seeing what the frame gen is like to actually play with.

nalfylatino87 · 2025-01-23T19:58:31+0000

Here we go again. I was lucky to get both a RTX 3080 and a 4090 both at launch.

Hoping I get the same luck again, though quite frankly I don't really mind waiting. My GTX 980Ti still doing a decent job whilst I wait

. Sucks but tis the game nowadays.

I quite simply do not belive this to be the case

Don't worry, you aren't the first and won't be the last. People make this mistake every generation. It is possibly the generation with the worst launch stock in many years, which isn't ideal. Good luck!

Any more bickering and people will find themselves banned from the 5x series threads / GPU subforum.

The 5090 looks great, definitely upgrading, but the Founders Edition is a little louder and hotter than necessary? Why do two slots, just keep it at three :confused:

Some reviews have it about the same as the 4090, some have it louder. It's fine really, if I get one I won't complain (too much :cry:

).
