Lol bro I specifically remember you saying in one of your for sale threads that you basically do it in exchange for a good heat review and there is nothing wrong with that why deny it? You're still cool for getting the card to people who couldn't and helps you sell other electronics with good heatware rating. Favor for a favor is legit.

you think i remember what I said here 2- 3 years ago? I am getting old man lmao. I probably did say it because I had to find a reason for myself to do it at that time. But if you asked me to find where I said it, I got 0 energy for that now or look where. I think i had over 100+ heat already, I probably just needed a reason to do it lmao. I think i did get some reward points from Best Buy, but then I kinda got burned out. May be I will try scoring again just to get the juices going.

Well, if you can get a hold of a 5090 at some point and are willing to sell it at MSRP I'd be up for that. As I stated earlier I'm older and disabled, and my days of waiting in line overnight for a hot product are long over.

Best buy has a really good return policy. I could buy as many as I luck would allow (i have a very serious credit limit) and sell them all at 10% markup and any i didn't sell in a month, return to best buy.

250 a pop in profit isn't really enough to motivate me. I have obscene amounts of things to do and any free time I have I value.

Not worth the potential of being scammed or worse, robbed either. Especially for a measly $250 profit.

+1. Exactly how I feel about it. If it was a sure fire gold mine than yeah, but who knows how its all going to go.

Makes me think of fuc*in bitcoin "oh I wish I bought $10,000 of it when it was brand new!" well duh who doesnt.

Anyone grabbing a 5090 and helping the community here is a hero in my book. There are some great people here who are not looking to make a buck but only help out others. Nothing wrong with that as not everyone has access that some people here might have or people in US might have. That is one of the reasons why I have stayed with this community for almost 15-20 years or something now.

Anyways, if someone has a 5090 for sale at MSRP plus all legit fees, they can always message me :).

Demand for these cards will be insane and I will be one refreshing websites to purchase day 1 as I get the use out of these cards that I want.

Depends on the price really. If they go really high on msrp the demand won't be very insane. It will just be the usual low early supply/scalper BS for first month or so.
 
I'm still planning on buying one and selling my 4090 at a super hefty discount to offset some of the cost. Typically 1/2 whatever they're going for at the time. I've done that with my last few cards and it has made someone's day every time.

Exactly correct. Which is why nvidia pricing these high isn't as bad as everyone is claiming.

Old PC gamers are used to being the only big market for GPUs. That's not true anymore and with demand shifting for these prosumer parts, prices are going to be up.

I would love to upgrade my 3090 for 4K gaming, but the cost isn't worth it to me since I don't use my PC for work anymore. Maybe if we get a 24GB 5080 Super/Ti/whatever next refresh that isn't so cut down from the 5090, I'd consider upgrading.

Good to see you Flux. Yeah I would want to upgrade my 3080 Ti for 4K gaming as well. 12GB just isn't enough. But I'm not interested in 16GB for 4K for a card I may want to hold onto for 5ish years. The 5090 will be more than I want to spend, and I definitely won't be interested in the 16GB 5080, but if they do end up doing a 5080 Super with 24GB, I'd be down. Hell I may wait on the platform upgrade and see if Zen 6 shows up when that does. Rumors are 12 core chiplets in Zen 6. So a single chiplet 12-core Zen 6 X3D with a 24GB 5080 Super seems a cool upgrade.

I don't know what people with 3090's are supposed to think right now.

Must seem like the entire market is one big middle finger.

Maybe a good option is to sell the 3090 and try to pick up a 4090 used? That would at least be a solid upgrade, keeps the pile of VRAM, and also gets you out of the 3090 while it's still worth something.

A lot of work trying to make sure you don't get screwed in the transactions though. Very high end cards to be buying and selling used.

I am hoping for a drop in price on titan V cards or v100 cards. Id gladly buy 2 of those for 200 each.

Exactly how I feel. I still running a 3080 10GB, and am not interested in a 5080 16GB because I feel that RAM will be restrictive soon, much like it has become with my current card. But 2k+ for a 5090? eek...
 
I was originally looking for that mythical $699 3080 back when the RTX 30 series came out to upgrade from my 2080. Never could catch one in stock and managed to "win" the Newegg shuffle for my 3090 for 3x that bundled with a PSU I didn't need.

These days I'm glad I ended up with the 3090. Between a bit of mining and selling older cards during the dark days, I broke even on the card long ago. Not being restricted by 10GB of VRAM allows me to hold off upgrading a while longer.

I do also own a 3080 Ti but I basically only play Assetto Corsa in the racing sim which isn't very demanding. I also opted for the 3840x1080 144hz 49" Samsung instead of their Odyssey version that's 5120 x 1440 240hz. I'm usually drunk when I'm in the sim so I don't notice the quality difference, and the 3080 Ti will be able to drive the lesser display for years to come 🤣

Any good BF deals on RTX 4080 was prevented by nvidia cutting off supply well beforehand.
Now the news is that the RTX 5080 will cost 2799 australian dollars.
This is really starting to look like I'll just put my old 1080 Ti to my coming AM5 build. Maybe the 5080 Super will be more sanely priced and have more memory.

I saw a deal on newegg with cashback for $850. That was pretty good, if you wanted to buy so close to the new generation. P. S. The "news" is made up speculation. No one knows the pricing yet.

You saw a deal @ newegg for $850 cash back on a video card? That would cut like 1/3rd off the price?

I'm guessing he meant cash back that made the final price $850. Not a bad deal, but certainly wasn't widespread.

Nvidia definitely isn't widespread slashing anything. At best this was just a retailer clearing out a model.

Can’t you get someone in America to buy it then ship it to you?

A lot of people care when it comes to input lag etc. using DLSS and FG.
Anyways, I don’t care about 5070s anyway, I only care about the 5090.

It's 2x the raw performance from the looks of it. As far as FG, it's virtually imperceptible when using it at 60+ base fps anyway, so I now use it whenever available. Enjoy your 5090, don't sully it with cruddy games like you have your 4090 ;) :D!
