How many addresses/accounts do these scalpers have… annoying that they can’t be easily be spotted by UK retailers.

Another drop for PNY 5090 cards...
Not sure how many there but easily could have bought one - But not paying £2500 for a PNY.

Surprising as those are assembled in New Jersey (an entire state that smells of hot dog water).

PNY is an excellent outfit, the do nVidia's pro cards. Not the snazziest cards, but solid and QC is generally very good. Them being nV's volume pro card partner may be why they're getting the chips quicker....

I don't think every single model has been reviewed yet and what has been reviewed has been spread out amongst different outlets. The only unified metric across them all is they've been compared to the FE.

I was already looking for the Suprim but the reviews of that came out favourably for thermal and acoustics. The Vanguard did ok too. The astral and aorus master did ok but the common theme seemed to be that the 4th fan was inconsequential for cooling and only added extra noise. They look great though

Thank you.

I'll take a look.

Just to let you know that if it's from the other place then they are using Astral OC's in there 5090 builds so it could mean an even longer wait as they wont be part of the queue.

Sigh!

You'd hope a queue of, I dunno, presumably over 200 strong would make them reconsider using them for prebuilts but who knows.

The population of Taiwan is Chinese - they do indeed celebrate CNY, quite probably the whole two week shebang.

Certainly CNY is celebrated in many places, not just mainland China. Malaysia (where my Chinese wife is from) and Singapore, certainly, and many other Asian countries with large Chinese populations celebrate CNY - it’s a much bigger deal than our Western New Year.
