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

I only have so much bandwidth at a time for hobbies. It's either PC gaming, guns or my sports car. That being said I went to the range last weekend for the first time since 2019 and realized I needed more 9mm. I was annoyed to learn ammo is still pricey with the current political environment, ugh.

I need cheaper hobbies, ugh.

Ammo prices pretty affordable atm. I see 9mm for .212 ppr with free shipping foe 1k+

For things like 6.5 cm or 300 wm, prices are way down.
 
I see 5090 in stock but at +50% price. Thank you but I'll pass.
(I would probably pass anyways having 4090 but I would definitely from time to time ponder about amazing experience of having 600W GPU for amazing +30% performance and slightly more VRAM but as it is: LOL ROFL 🙃 )
 
Looks like 4090's my stop unless I win the nvidia email lottery. Kinda nice to get your hand forced and just move on and revisit later when cards are cheaper. I swear if you live 5 years to a decade behind life costs a quarter of what it would to have the latest and greatest. I think I'll deliberately do that. Retro gaming it is lol

This is in stock right now at Walmart.com FROM Walmart which can only mean this is the new retail pricing... INSANE.

Do not under estimate Retro gaming.... I have had more fun on my Voodoo 5 5500 PC the last few months than on my main gaming rig... lol

There's a few retail at scalper price 5090's. World's gone mad.

Well lets see. Pretend you're a retail outlet owner.

You have a card that is currently selling for price X. If you go under that, you will sell quickly and they will up the price and get your profit.

When has it ever made sense to sell something below market price?
 
So in a few days will some 5090s be approaching $4k? It seems possible.

It would be nice if Nvidia still sold the FE at $2k to people on their waiting list since the beginning but we know that's not going to happen.

In a free market where supply and demand dictate the price, this is exactly right.

Retailer has absolutely no obligation to a manufacturer's suggested retail price, if market conditions have changed that. The choice the consumer has at that point is the demand part of the equation.

My Voodoo 5 5500 PCI is broken and needs repair. Didn't have much fun with it 🫣
At the time when it mattered the most I had Voodoo 2 12MB, for a short while borrowed second card to do SLI, Voodoo Banshee (somehow after V2...) and Voodoo 3 3000 (somehow after GeForce 256 - seemed better at the time + more money for other upgrades).
Newer had (working) V4 or V5 though 😣
For retro Win9x PCs I have bunch of GeForce cards including FX 5900XT and Quadro FX1000 (like FX5800 Ultra - with some tweaks) and Radeon x800 XL 256MB (best 16-bit dithering, less compatible than GeForce FX and below)
Anything newer is usually best played on modern systems - though I guess there are few XP only games for which these cards I have should be enough. Have e.g. 7900GTX or GTX 260 216sp along Athllon 64 X2 3GHz (which has VIA chipset so it runs okay with Win9x and has ESS Solo-1 works in DOS)

That said I usually play new games and most funnily on PS5 Pro. Recently started playing Stellar Blade and the game is perfect.
5090 I will buy when there is 6090 at more reasonable price. Right now pricing is insane while value really is having the same card short time earlier 😪

I have never loved my 4090 in any point in time more than I do now, so glad i can ride this madness out at this point... and I really want a 5090.

Same here. I had a chance to pick up an Astral from MC but it was over $3k and since I signed up for the Nvidia VPA I figured I'd just wait it out (Yes I know I could have just bought the Astral and then scalped the FE model if I get picked but I'm no scalper). At this point though with everything going on and seeing how well the 4090 is holding up, I've completely stopped the hunt for a 5090 so either I get an FE model through the email or I'll just wait for the 6090.
 
Yeah with the whole situation, prices, scarcity, and now tariffs... and I am running UW now... Just gonna wait this out with my 4090... my 2080ti lasted me almost 5 years... I am coming up on two now with the 4090. Should be an interesting wait.

Wag - yeah the 5090 might end up being the true 4k card. ;)

In the same boat as many, I was dead set on upgrading my 4090 to 5090. But underwhelming generational leap in performance combined with unavailability made me skip this generation. Cost is not an issue, but it's such a terrible value I would feel "weird" buying it. Having said that, I will get 6090 even at $4K since it is bound to be a significant upgrade over 4090.
 
My god my thread did not age well. The biggest problem is they did not make many 5090's and that now going forward video cards can do so much more the just play games. I bet we see little stock even a year into release. crazy
 
Micro Center got restocked, so check your "local" store. The one in Miami is showing three of the triple fan PNY 5090 in stock.

I am blown away at these prices

Right around 2000 ish the Geforce2 ultra was out and i bought it new for 530.00 bucks and I remember because the wifey was pissed. Inflation since is about 65% making about 875 in today's dollars.

That's more than I paid for the upgrade of my entire PC two years ago, with 4090!

EDIT: and with the damn 42" LG C2 OLED lmao... the total was $3400ish... crazy!

NVIDIA's own marketplace has non-FE cards across 5090, 5080, 5070, 5060 etc. and they are apparently in stock.

However, they are definitely not anywhere near the FE's MSRP.

I legit just built a new PC around my 4090, went all out too with a 9950X3D, 4TB PCIe 5.0 nvme, mobo, brand new fans, case, 1200W PS, etc... my signature. Cost basically what the MSI Suprim 5090 i want costs after tax. Ridiculous IMO.

I looked back, over 2 years ago I paid roughly $1800 for my 4090. The 5090 is at best times 30% better than my 4090. So ur saying for 30% more performance I pay 100% more in price? Naw, that's really starting to convince me its a poor choice. I was all about the 5090 at first, and the longer I go without one, the more I'm convinced my 4090 (which is still 2nd best BTW) will last me another couple years if need be.

The 5080 pricing, in particular, is insane. I think cardmakers are specifically marking up that one because there's a group of people who would have been willing to shell out about $2K for the 5090, but weren't able to since those are impossible to find at MSRP. Granted, not all of them are willing to settle for a 5080, but those people in general have $2K to spend on a high-end card, so the cardmakers guss up the 5080 to just under 5090 MSRP and make a killing on the folks that are willing to drop the cash on an almost-5090. To me, frankly, it doesn't compute (har har) but maybe to the folks who prefer the aftermarket coolers and O/C cards anyway, it works out.

I personally prefer the FEs and always have, not just due to price -- I prefer the form factor, build quality, and the look. You have the FE's incredible 2-slot design on the one hand and then the totally mundane, every-card-looks-the-same 3-fan 3-slot non-FE cards, and very little in between. Can't imagine shelling out $3K+ for an Astral... just, why? It doesn't even look that interesting. At least with some of the cards they have an LCD built in, which is dumb but still cool and different.

People are still buying the 4090 for over $2400 on eBay and that doesn't include the sales tax... that is actually an incredible opportunity for any chad sitting on a 4090 right now. If you have a 4090 presently and you don't really need it--e.g., you were only using it for gaming and not rendering or local AI or whatnot where the VRAM matters most--my advice would be to sell it for that $2400 ASAP and wait for your VPA invite to roll in:

  1. NVIDIA seems pretty serious about fixing their supply chain issues, and
  2. Non-FE 5090s and 5080s are technically available, and a couple of the 5090s cost about $2400 and (all?) the 5080s cost way less, and
  3. People are still getting VPA invites for 5090, 5080, 5070 FEs, albeit slowly, so there's still hope, and
  4. A 4090 is going to be worth much less when the 5090/5080 supply catches up with demand, and
  5. There are tons of great games that don't require beefy hardware and can be fun even on low res settings (of course, this is subjective)

So yeah, best case scenario, you get your 5090 at MSRP then flip your 4090 for $2400, ofsetting the majority of the cost (or even all) of your 5090. Next best scenario, you flip the 4090 first, wait briefly for an opportunity to get a 5090/5080 cheaper, then that VPA invite/add-to-cart button rolls in and you're back in business and still saved hell of cash. Less good case scenario, you switch up what/how you're playing for a few months, maybe try something new or different, then supply catches up with demand and you locked in the crazy good value on that 4090 and already have the cash to spend on your 50-series card. Worst case scenario, you sell your 4090 for $2400 then add that to half of the $2K you were willing to spend on a 5090, now you've got about $3300, and you go grab yourself that dumbass Astral.

The 5080 is poorly priced because it is worse than a 4090 in every way if you take out MFG, which isn't going to help you if your base frames are lower than what a 4090 can do. I actually believe 4090's are going to keep holding value until the 5090's come back to reality a bit. The only people who are looking at 5080's are those with 30-series or older cards or a low end 40 series card.

In terms of the FE cards, they look nice this time, but I'd be worried about long term reliability. I heard the DDR7 runs at 90C on those, and while within spec, that could have long term implications. The AIBs from what I have seen in reviews tend to run A LOT cooler and also much quieter. The multiple PCB design of the FE cards too is interesting, will be curious if that ends up having any issues over time, or ends up just fine like how laptops are assembled.

I wouldn't worry about the mem. Lots of people made a big deal about it on the 30 series cards and unless you were mining they were 100% fine.
 
I believe we will see a decent reduction in GPU pricing soon across the board. The supply right now at the Houston Microcenter is the most I've seen in many months. Other than the 5090s everything else is selling very slowly at current pricing. Even select 5090s aren't really moving like the MSI Ventus. They had 25+ a week ago and there's still 17 in stock atm. They're currently sitting on loads of 5080s, 5070ti and 9070XT and they're hardly selling.

Any GPU >$.01 MSRP I ain't buying. I'm standing my ground.
 
Well, you have about 25 of them and I guess now it does look that’s what it takes to actually keep the 5090 in stock. Just look at those prices dude.

I bought a 5090 from Newegg.ca last week and it was easy. The cards were available for nearly 24 hrs.

It seems that the demand has suddenly died down. I’ve been trying everyday since launch to buy one, with absolutely no luck. Weird that the situation suddenly changed? It was on May 14th, actually.

Anyway, the scalpers are going to get fucked now.

There is simply a limited market that is willing to spend $3k+ on a video card for entertainment purposes.

There's plenty of 5090s available. It's just that they are comically overpriced right now, and finding one at MSRP is very difficult. I'm glad you snagged one, though.
