NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

No jumping... I ordered a prebuilt with an Astral 5090 and it went from 5-7 days, to 19 Feb to 13 March (as the latest and probably a bit earlier). When I asked I was 2nd in prebuilt and 68 in Astral 5090

I’ve been told 12 March at the latest and offered £100 voucher for games because of the wait, even though I am waiting for the 9950x3d until the end of March anyway :D

I'm quite far out of the loop by the look of it.

I have a Corsair RM850x Plus Gold PSU.

Anything I should be aware of if getting a 5090?

Should I look to upgrade the PSU?

It'll work but I wouldn't be comfortable with it. The recommended for a 5090 is 1000w I believe.

100% suppliers are holding back. If they had 100 they would be silly to release them all when you can just add a couple every day @ £3k+. It keeps the demand high.

We call this a "dribble out" in my Indusry. It's an old primary-market tactic to control market price and control supply. However, instead of the manufactuer/issuer-bookrunner doing it, it's the lowly retail middle-middle man now. It's like a branch office retail mom-and-pop stockbroker was limiting the supply to their clients.

Retailers need to realize they exist soley in this chain to perform a simple distribution role in this chain. Otherwise, just like with my broker example above, the client moves on (or they'll get checked by the supplier).

So it will get to a point where inventory is out weighing the sales, then they have to drop prices to get rid of inventory?

Tech YES City mentioned they had restarts when trying to run a 5090 on a 850W PSU, so I think I'd recommend upgrading.

I have this PSU, which is no longer for sale as I assume it has been updated: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9-ca-267-cs.html

Will I need any extra cables for the 5080?

Is that cable you linked just for a cleaner install?

From the description of your Corsair PSU you don't have the 2 x 8pin to 12VHPWR (12+4 pin) cable to power the 4xxx & 5xxx GPUs.

You can use the adapter supplied with the NVidia GPUs but the cable i linked to is just a neater way to do it. Less cable spaghetti near the GPU end.

I was thinking of getting 4090 from MM but I have noticed that 5070Ti is launching soon , so might get that instead.
Looks like performance will be on par with 4090 at roughly half the cost. Not sure about the availability tho. is it gonna get snapped l like the rest of the line up?

5070ti is about the same as a 4080super
