5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

Not seeing any at the Denver store and I wouldn't take 2/3 of those AIB models even if they did. $2000 is one thing, $3000 is another thing entirely.

Got lucky during the last BB drop. Broke the F5 key in the process. Beautiful GPU and no ROPS missing.

Best Buy has been a shit show for me. They never have cards and when they allegedly do, I get stuck in the "queue" system and never get to check out. I'm not camping in front of a Microcenter so that's basically a total no-go for me as you can't reserve them online. Newegg only ever has cards available for the shuffle and in stupid bundle deals. Even the bundles sell out in seconds. I've never been able to get through checkout fast enough to get anything. The one time I did, it made me re-enter the credit card information that I already had updated previously. Not only that, but this wasn't the verification code. It wanted me to re-enter the whole thing. WTF is that? No other site has ever made me do that.

I've gotten stock alerts for Wal-Mart and a couple other sites but the stock alerts have too much of a delay to be useful. Everything is out of stock when I get there. I literally have a PC up all day monitoring this shit and everything is out of stock before I even get the alerts the vast majority of the time. Or, the website says its still in stock until you try and buy it.

Fuck this launch.

I've just did not stop trying. I'm a BB Total Tech and have over 50k in purchases still I don't think that matters to them.

Next week they will have another drop I'm pretty sure.

For the Denver MC I have a sales guy that texts me directly when they get inventory since their website has a HUGE delay.

I figured as much. I've bought plenty of items there that never did show up as "in stock" on their site. Personally, I'm only interested in 2-3 5090 cards and they don't carry one of 'em (FE). At MC the only ones I'd buy are the most vanilla possible PNY or Zotac cards that are only $2200.

I just got selected for the "Newegg Shuffle" for the cheap Gigabyte 5070Ti for $970. No fucking thanks. That card isn't worth $750. I don't even know why I put in for it.

I deselect everything but the 5090's for the shuffle. Not that I'll ever get picked to by anything. I never did during the 3000 series.
 
I don't make my living from computer parts. Me spending more than $2,500 for one video card is just stupidity. But I understand the thought process.
 
Anyone who owns a 4090 can sell it and get most of if not the entire cost of the vanilla 5090's. You just have to get your hands on a 5090 and be willing to wait for a serious buyer. Even if you're impatient or looking to hook someone up, you can still get $1500 pretty much immediately.

I got picked for an Aorus 3080 TI in the shuffle back then. I haven't had luck this time around, but I'm not trying that hard either.
 
I got selected for the 5080 MSI Inspire. Already have someone buying my 3090 for $900, so nice little upgrade for me.

Or ill switch it out with my wifes 4090.....decision decisions lol
 
Today's results:

Every fucking time. None of these lists, raffles or drawings have ever panned out for me.
 
All the 5090s are out of stock at the Minnesota MicroCenter, but I don't think they ever had any in stock to begin with lol. At least they didn't at launch.

Even if they did, at $3k I'll hold off for a 5090 FE from Best Buy or directly from nvidia. I guess I'll be waiting a long time.

You don't go for the blender?

Seriously though...i scored a 3060ti, a 3070 and a 3090 from the shuffles. Unfortunately, it was those goofy combos...
 
Man Rubin if it has 2x gpu dies like people are saying might happen holy shit batman.
 
Sounds like we'll be getting newer cards again later this year. Makes me want to wait and not be an early adopter this time around.

Maybe. NVIDIA also has zero competition from AMD or Intel on the high end. They don't need to bring out a new card to dominate or even extend their lead. Plus, the idea of a 5080Ti or 5090Ti is entirely speculative. We have no evidence they are going to do that. NVIDIA didn't do it with the 40 series.

True. Hopefully things will calm down a bit here within the next month or two with the current cards.

4090 > 5080. That's proven with the raster testing. Also the 5080 won't do PhysX so if you play older games that demand PhysX for example Batman: Arkham series, your framerate will go to a crawl on the 5080 compared to the 4090.
