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

Totally bizarre eh. Who in their right mind would buy a used 4090 for £1700 at the moment, when you can get a brand new 5090 for a tiny bit more. Are people really that dumb? Actually, no need to answer that.

I think you mean 'smart'? The 4090 is a solid buy, Lovelace is arguably more stable and better developed than Blackwell.

There's is no way a 5080 Super 24GB is going to come close to the Titan class 4090. And the 5090? One-to-one performance/price increase and less efficient to boot, madness.

I'd recommend everyone buy a used RTX 4090, it's the right thing to do ;)

I was laughed at on here for getting a 4090 for just over 1K just before the 5090 was going to drop :D

funny how things change.

Hold onto our 5090's until there's a shortage then sell.
 
Yep, still there

Seems like the 5090 madness has finally come to an end. I would have jumped all over that a few months ago as I really wanted a 5090FE. But I've decided to be sensible and stick with my MSI Gaming Trio 5080. It's a lovely card and chews through everything I need at the mo. And 5090s just use way too much power, my 5080 sips under 250w most of the time (undervolt).

Used 5090s are going for £1800... The madness indeed seems to be over. Glad I didn't cave the first few months and waited until the one I bought was somewhat near RRP.

Undervolt the 5090 and it doesn’t use much more than 300w most of the time.

Yep, for a few weeks now stock has been readily available, including at <£1,900 on occassion. Almost every retailer has a pretty wide range of models available. That, plus all the early adopters have been and gone. Question now is, do prices stay as they are (£1880-1930 lower bound). I cannot see prices falling much. Even if demand drops off a cliff, Nvidia will just reduce supply.
