I've dropped another 2 places this morning to 65. I'm assuming that's stock as I can't believe people are still cancelling after waiting patiently for a whole month.

Don't know - I just checked and dropped 3 places since Friday on the Zotac Solid.
If I don't actually drop this week - I will be cancelling too.
Least when I pre-ordered my 3080 there was significant drops every week and my queue position moved - Now my queue position is dropping 1 or 2 places a week due to drop outs, not because cards are actually arriving.

MSI unlaunches its "MSRP" cards, RTX 50 series get a price hike in official store - VideoCardz.com
MSI RTX 50 MSRP cards are gone The company increased RTX 50 prices across all SKUs. Was there even the point of offering the card at NVIDIA’s suggested retail price at launch? Yes, it was to be included in MSRP-review coverage the day before non-MSRP models were revealed. The problem is that...

What we all suspected. I've been saying all along, nV has a interest in engaging in scarcity marketing and encouraging AIB, reseller, and scalper price gouging because it subsequently allows nV to raise BOM price.
In summary, we're being taken for a ride...

Gigabyte Aorus Master 5090 just dropped for £2499.99 - Sold out instantly.
It’s a risky strategy that if true. They’re losing sentiment and Nvidia make the most with the least risk as long as sales are happening. They already lost EVGA. AIB partners are doing most of the heavy lifting for the smallest slice of the pie.What we all suspected.

I’d expect supply to increase pretty soon tbh to try and correct this. Scalped prices, beyond the suggestion in this article, do nothing for Nvidia profits. They’d do better with more volume.

Sounds a bit foil hats to me...
Seems a pretty ‘good’ price. Might get it better when ‘on sale’ in the future but not anytime soon considering the current supply.
4090 Aorus was the best model I had (albeit fleetingly).
I don't know why this has news coming back now and then - AIB insiders have been saying that for years. Nvidia simply doesn't want AIBs, they want just to sell their FE versions and this is their way to get rid of them and also to put all the blame for high prices on AIBs whilst keeping them quiet with NDAs.What we all suspected.

Nvidia stated in the past that in their eyes AIB do nothing and just expect to get money. That's the general Nvidia approach to AIB, plus constantly throwing them under the bus. Generally, Nvidia want to be an Apple of graphics cards - expensive, luxury, only first party limited products. AIB stand in the way of that. And even that happens people will really see what monopoly really is and how much Nvidia can and will really charge for their GPUs.

Palit 5090 is going back after weekend testing. Insane coil whine, can hear it over even 100% fans. Low performance. Just not worth it. My MSI 4090 is back in and is whisper quiet, so all is right for the moment. Going to keep hotstock alerts on for either the Suprim or the Astral, even if it takes a few months.
Is there a preferred route for shipping the card back to OC? I've submitted the webticket and they've given me the RMA number, but it looks like they don't organise collection, which is the first time that's happened to me at an online retailer in about 5 years (happy to pay since I'm returning due to unwanted, but every other shop organises for someone to come pick it up).

Shame really i have the 4090 Palit GR and it's been great and doesn't get overly loud and has good temps, maybe they cheaped out somehow or it's just Blackwell need a substantially better cooler than what they have provided.
I guess someone can buy it from the B grade section at some point maybe.
I think hold on until they get their first drop and gauge how much it moves from that. It’s all skewed because there was essentially 3 weeks or more with nothing being produced due to Chinese new year which of course doesn’t help when they have 2 grand or more of your money and you have nothing in your hand but until the first shipment comes through following Chinese new year it’s difficult to work out if it’s worth waiting.
I can't hear any coil whine? So cards must get it randomly then rather than certainly on all cards of same type?
I'm liking it better after vertical mount and new roof fans, but for sure fans ramp up but sits 70-74, 1800 rpm thought.
Same on a Gigabyte. Might just call it quits. Only moved 7 places in 3 weeks, although when I ordered it did give a delivery date for October !
