I know. What i meant is I sold my 4090 3 weeks ago but would happily buy another when back in the UK if the 50 series are crazy priced and there are more 4090's on the second hand market.

Haha. Thought as much, but that was not funny so went with an alternative assumption :p
 
As always with Nvidia they'll artifically limit the quantities needed for the 90, and after that first small wave of cards prices will rocket and they'll be pushing the (plentiful) 5080 for all it's worth ;)

Prepare thyselves...

Does Nvidia actually earn more when prices go up? They sell to partners at a certain price, and the FE prices don’t change with availability, so I imagine it’s the partners and retailers being the real scammers in terms of margin.

Nah, it's all about the distribution chain and shortages with price hiking along the way. I'm sure OcUK don't even charge any more in terms of %, it's a pretty flat rate from this retailer. Just all gets squeezed :(

Should imagine the majority of the AiB's will be selling in bulk to Pro buyers/SI's too as they'll pay a fair bit more. Below the 5090 I can't really see an issue though.

I don't know its a lot of money and i already get 4k 60fps in every game with my 4090 so what would i actually gain with a 5090 i am happy with my 60 frames and no games coming out next year will be too much for the 4090 either as most are console ports so if i did buy one i would get massive buyers remorse.

Can’t be worse than the 3000 series. Hopefully there’s enough production to put off scalpers and keep prices relatively stable. Personally, I’ll probably only buy a couple months after launch - no point overpaying.

*looks at how the 9800X3D launch went, and it's current asking price*

Yeah...

It's all still a bit of a dumpster fire, but at least they aren't taking pre-orders that only get fulfilled a year later, if ever.

But it's also why I won't pre-order, buy at inflated launch prices, or entertain scalpers. People reach for the Vaseline far too quickly these days - let them buy you dinner first.
