Is the astral 5090 the fastest/highest performing card out of the box?

 

[Dicehunter]

This!

I will have to resort to playing some games now to fill my time.

You poor thing, Having to enjoy yourself, The agony, The terror !!!

That and the Aorus. My Aorus Master usually boosts to around 2950mhz out of the box, not overclocked it at all.

There’s been some 5090s in stock for a long time today. Looks like valence has been achieved

Nope they are not actually in stock, some off with OCUK site maybe.

Managed to grab an Astral 5090. It's status has been sat at picking since yesterday evening. I'm guessing it will just update to shipped later on today.

 

[DJJEZ]

Hoping to grab an astral 5090 when they go live again. I stupidly hesitated yesterday when I saw them in stock.

Now I have my card, my life feels empty

The thrill of the hunt is gone for old Varys.

 

[banbom44]

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.

Everybody seems to be getting stock apart from the queue place they need to get their fingers out and put some effort in.

Or, "The Hunt is better than the Kill", like my dear old dad used to say when he'd return from the Pizza Hut salad bar.

At least you have a card, some of us have to live with integrated graphics XD

Use geforce now - 4080 for £20 a month until you get a card

[Domstercool]

Shipped! We are finally rolling. I'm excited

 

[Slam62]

Blimey 8 in stock somewhere else at a price I’m never going to pay.

They’re actually cheaper on auction.

This is getting worse, people are so greedy.

Scalper prices have been below certain retailer prices for a few weeks now. With ROPs and melty-cables, scalped cards are not attractive.

Do you get a warranty with a scalped card?
I always thought it was only with the original purchaser is that true?

Not unless the seller is going to sort out the warranty. Good luck with that lol
