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

I read somewhere that the Astral's fan on the back is mostly what causes excessive noise. Maybe that fan could be dialed down with software.

The Asus 4090 Strix were also known to have pretty bad coil whine. I wonder if Asus has fixed it for this gen.

It's pretty bad yeah, but super easy to fix with the new bios or just a custom fan curve.

This is why I gave up and paid £2400 for a bloody Palit when I got the chance. The 6AM notifications were the absolute worst. It's felt so liberating today not to have to keep jumping at my phone.

This 100% lol, I've had my Astral for a few weeks now and feels like a huge weight has lifted off my shoulders aha, the things fomo can do to someone
 
I wouldnt say that the fomo is bothering me. Ita more that my moneys been gone for a month and a half with nothing to show for it. Ive always hated preorders in full. Same with gig tickets that aint happening for months too.

Insult to injury, someone is sitting on your money earning interest.

I'm ready to jump on the first card that comes in at £2400 or less, but those have been virtually illusory. My new 9070xt is serving me very well at present, but I'm positively repelled by the thought of buying another PC component for a while... I'd never buy one again, if I had the choice, after these abhorrant launches. This used to be fun, and I happily forked over money in the regular upgrade process. Now, I'm buying a 5090 so I don't need to deal with the absolute tripe and codswallop as much as for the performance.

This has come up a few times and tbh I don’t really get how anyone can find it annoying.

I can join the queue and pay the price, or not. It’s entirely my choice. Ditto, if you’re in a queue, you can also leave at any time.

If anyone wants to hold onto cash in your savings account for whatever reason, then just wait.

There’s a winning choice for everyone :p

Why did you buy a 9070xt if you’re waiting for a 5090?
