The difference between £50 a day on electricity with a 5090, and a £55 for a 5090 and AC unit is minimal. Go for it.I might but that makes the electricity bill even bigger.

MSI Ventus for what will be £2200, no thank you. There was another post which suggested the 5080 Asus Astral will be $1900. LOL! No doubt it will sell out immediately by those who can't stomach paying $300 more for an entry level 5090.
I feel like the 5090 would be much easier to attain than people think, if those prices are real.
Is there really much of a market for 4090 owners spending $2500 for a 40% improvement upgrade? That's similar to the PS5 pro's improvement over the base PS5. Sony overestimated the demand for such an upgrade even though the monetary investment is much smaller than a 5090.
For sure, there will still be a healthy demand for the 5090 FE. I think most people are going to wait patiently for the FE instead of paying several hundreds more to get an AIB immediately.

When they're saying single digit numbers expected to be available at OcUK, I feel the 5090 will be more difficult than people think.

We already know
The Ai performance is going to be kick arse, who cares about gaming performance ? I, like many certainly don't - can't wait to get a few of these cards

I hope it is a slaughterhouse and everyone takes a big dump on Nvidia. Either way, we know they will sell all they can make for the first few months at the very least.

Do you have a link to where Gibbo (I assume) said that?When they're saying single digit numbers expected to be available at OcUK, I feel the 5090 will be more difficult than people think.
Edit: found it, im an idiot.

I had understood embargo ends on the 24th.
We know already. 30% in traditional rasterization, 50-60% faster in RT (which is the vast majority of AAA games).
As a 4090 owner, it's RT games that struggle. Can't wait to get my 5090
FE (if it's quiet as they say in reviews) or Astral for me!

Single digit numbers available for the 5090? Nvidia really are capitalist scum. That’s even lower than I expected.
Reviews are out in about 8 hours
Yup just a marketing ploy to up the price, we all know the price of these new cards are not going to be anything near what they should be.
Any bets on prices for scalper listings? £4k outside the realm of possibility?
By the time stock has normalised and you can get one, the 60 series will be out a few months later
Got my 4090 to use in the meanwhile, any one of us could get lucky and get a card on day one, you never know
I had my 4090 Strix day one from OCUK thanks to @Gibbo and OCUK!

Where is the best place to read decent reviews when they go live later?
