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

[Nitefly]

Tbh I would have thought the only people in the market for something like this would be settled, older peeps of the ‘forum-era’ of the internet… as in, us. Can’t be many ‘up and comers’ that can throw around this sort of dosh surely for the sake of some traced rays.

And out of us nerds, we’re not even all game for it.

AND has anyone here paid well over the odds for a 5090?

Not something anyone will readily admit I guess, but I can’t remember anyone doing that.

Who are these people, indeed.

How are there suddenly so many people who can afford over £3k on a GPU??

I feel like if a £3k+ gaming GPU was on shelves a few years ago , before the mining 3xxx series stuff, they wouldn't have sold many at all .

That's an immense amount of money just so you can turn some ray tracing on in games.

Especially when I've had that ability for the past 10 months (and other people longer than that) to do that at maximum FPS for £1519.

I think there will be a lot of buyer’s remorse this gen especially those who are paying the early scalper tax.

Did but any chance you select the unlock voltage control in after burner or in the Nvidia app. When you do this it will drop the base clocks to about 1800 MHz.

I did not, didn't go anywhere near the voltage just the core and mem clocks.

It’s mad… there must be a limited population, but 5090 drops have been far less.

The 5080 mad buyers are starting to dry up, eBay listings are not shifting/selling, loads of relisting going on and the eBay asking price is dropping too close to the UK retailers’ asking price.

The GPU does more than gaming. nVidia xx90 cards are the best value general compute cards for AI, video and any other GPU workload, by an absolute country mile. The 32GB VRAM in particular has all the AI people after them.

2k may be a lot for gaming, but it's peanuts for a professional tool.

Oh yes, it does seem to be poorly.

Does anybody remember any mainstream electronics retailers jacking up the prices just because theres a supply shortage? I dont remember it happening when there was a shortage of series x’s. It just absolute scumbag behaviour, no better than actual scalpers.

Worse than scalpers imo. Scalpers have to pay the etailors scalped prices to get a hold of the card in the first place, or at very best they will pay the rrp. Retailers buy the cards at less than rrp to sell at rrp, for a profit. That still isn't good enough for them though so they then add onto it their scalping tax. Ya know, because they know the cards are so hard to get hold of, so they know they've got you by the balls, kinda scenario. Brutal behavior.
