This is the card I was going for too - but took one look at the price and have decided I can struggle on with my lowly 4090 for a couple of years yet. I may or may not change my mind as more reviews are done on VR performance in MSFS, particularly as DLSS4 seems to be working well on previous generation hardware.

Damn, that card would suit my build nicely...
My new-ish 9800x3d build with the 3080 occupying GPU slot while I wait for my 5090 to arrive. I did contemplate one of the white 5090s but the pricing of white models.... so I've got orders in for the TUF and Solid - whichever comes first goes in. I think they both look kinda the same colour-scheme wise and the dark-grey kinda works I guess....

Why cos they have taken 200 pre-orders per card, when it could be a very long time before they are fulfilled.
Or because they are now increasing pricing and scalping the cards?

I thinking more of the pay now we hold it and then we can ask for more if we fancy it a bit sketchy
Yep. Mine is an all white build too (my first, and TBH, probably my last), so was specifically after a white 5090. But the price is a significant drag…Damn, that card would suit my build nicely...

At the very least I’m going to wait until the cards are readily available. No way am I spending that kind of money just to join a queue, hopefully by then we’ll have a better idea of what sort of real world uplift we may get in VR.
(I do reserve the right to change my mind at any point though - if a decent overtime trip pops up, I may just do it and splash the cash)!

I do find that part incredibly sketchy.
So they have already taken over £2k out my bank, however when my card is ready for dispatch they will email me and say we need an additional £100-£200 or we cancel your order.
Isn't there some law in regards to this - That once money is taken they have to honour the price?

The ETAs on some of these cards is laughable.

Against trading standards surely?

And I bet they don’t even honor that time frame.
This has been gone over several times in this thread already.
You’ve put in a pre-order knowing they don’t have stock. They can cancel at any time. Them asking you for more money puts you in no worse position than if they just decided to cancel your preorder.
If they raise the price, you can cancel. If the arrangement annoys you now and you don’t like them reserving the ability to change the price, then just cancel.
They are going to annoy people by raising prices so they are probably only incentivised to do it if they commercially need to. If they are taking the mick, they will get a bad rep for doing so.
Really, the best solution to avoid situations that you’re not happy with is (i) to not enter into them, or (ii) to exit them when you decide you’re not happy with the arrangement.
Just wait for those of us who ordered near-RRP cards for them to reach out to ask if you want a model that's £400 more expensive to move up the queue. They did this with the 3-seried launch.

Don't think I could convince my boss that a 5090 will help me run pubs better?Finally got a pre-order in for a 5090. I'm just glad my company are paying for it.

I've cancelled my 5090 preorder, Have picked up a 4090 that is doing all I need for now.
So if you were in the same queue as me, you're possibly one further forward now
