This your first gpu launch or something? The small pcb and the cooler are wee buns, the gpu is the complicated part and that's what will dictate availability.

If I sold my 4090 and needed to wait, I'd just grab a month of Geforce Now. People say it's actually pretty good

I tried Geforce Now a couple years ago and it was pretty ****, it must be a lot better now.
What you on about? That's still greed and it compounds the problem, you're taking something that you don't need at the detriment of someone else who does...
They can't need it that badly if on 2 separate occasions I was able to casually buy them with minimal effort

While I haven't tried Geforce Now, I've played on PlayStation Now in the past and it was awful even with the holy grail of Eastern European fiber. I suppose it depends how close you are to the data center, but anything that's an action game/FPS is gonna suffer.

Does anyone really NEED the newest shiniest GPU? Even if you're a freelancer doing work, you're probably equipped well enough in the current state.
To be fair, you shouldn't complain when the bots casually grab all the cards with "minimal effort" using your own logic.

Where is clearance? Is it a good price?
What did he say that scared you? The stock situation?
Cmon, your entire comment contradicts itself, if you buy 2 to sell 1 at a higher price, it has to mean the person you sell to can not get it for cheaper, there's no mental juggling here, buying 2 when you only need 1 to make a profit is in my opinion morally unjustified
That's not the point, it's not about needs or wants, it's about not being greedy and trying to make a quick buck
Yeah, there's only single digit 5090s and hundreds of 5080s to grab. Could be weeks if not months before supply is stable.
It's in the deals section on the shop, there's a lot of b grade and clearance stuff. I grabbed the literal last 4090 on the way out, sorry. :d

Reviews for the 5090 go live tomorrow at 2PM GMT...
Really not got much faith in me being able to grab a 5090 after seeing all this chat lol. In a tricky place with my 3080ti where its not getting the performance I want and upgrading to anything else isnt really worth it imo
About the same time the nvidia site and a certain competitors site will be going down like a 50p hooker.
Or they could get it cheaper, they're just lazy or impatient...
There will always be more stock. If they're willing to pay extra to have something right away, that's in high demand, and I can provide that for them, then it's win win
Buy a second hand 4090 for a thousand quid it will be just fine for another two years at least its better than paying over 2 grand for a 5090 and being in a queue for months.
Again, using your own logic, never complain about bots ever again. The mental gymnastics on display here is on a different level.. "Scalping for me, but not for thee".Or they could get it cheaper, they're just lazy or impatient...
