I shared this almost a week ago. Even if doesn't work there are enough discord trackers to get notified almost 20-30 mins in advance and hacks people use. You won't be lucky each time but the sheer amount of people posting success stories with FE cards has increased quite significantly past 3-4 weeks.
Bought a 3090 FE from bestbuy during covid times, would upgrade to a 5090 FE. 2k seems kinda gross still but I also remember getting pissed at $1.18 premium gas....get off my lawn
Bro reading is not your forte. 5090 is available everywhere. If you want an FE, try your luck as drops have increased lately.
Aren't you the guy who, earlier in the thread, said you had an Nvidia FE 5090 invite, placed and then canceled the order claiming it was too expensive for a video card? Or am I mixing you up with someone else?
What's up with the PNY hate. I've owned a few and they were solid cards but just not as blingy.
They are, indeed, awesome. Just had to RMA my 5080 OC and it was a great experience.
I don’t hate anything except maybe Zotac coz I have had a 100% coil whine galore experience.
It's the price you pay for Paris - New York, baby!
Sell your 5080 and get a 5070 or something. Still a great performing card. With what you outlined why bother?
Exactly, 5070 ti undervolt and overclocked gets to roughly 3% of stock 5080 performance. Also I can totally see 5080 being sold at pretty bad depreciation once the supers come out, while 5070 ti keeping most of their value. 5070 will probably be worst hit in terms of percentage loss, but at actual dollar amount might be lowest.
Inertia of rest , already have a launch 5080 fe so now in wait and watch mode..and yes the 5080 super will be a travesty, should have been a 24 gb card at launch with 10% higher clocks and power limits so it would have almost equaled the 4090.
Inertia of rest? I get that. I don't really upgrade my main rig unless I feel a need for a performance improvement anymore. Built my first rig in 1997, and after 28 years I'm far less inclined to mess with it unless I feel a need for a performance improvement.
Ha, I do the same in my office / gaming room. Portable AC unit for when I am gaming or if it is really hot outside and central just can't keep the room cool when working.
Nope. Until their revenue from gaming GPUs starts to drop, I don't see them abandoning the market.
oook...dude, not all earn your way and not all value the way you do
My wife and I travel every year to somewhere we have never been before... that being said, my 5090 is cheap compared to other hobbies and life's adventures. Plus, if gaming isn't a primary hobby, its not like most people need to drop a ton of money on the absolute best components. I do it because its one of my primary hobbies and love top of the line tech. Didn't make it this far in life on my end to skimp out on parts, when in the end, its not gonna matter anyway!
You think shareholders want them wasting precious silicon on gaming cards? If you can make a card that will instantly sell for multiple times what a gaming card goes for from the same wafers and fab space, how does it make sense to build gaming cards? It doesn’t. More and more of nVidia’s engineering, programming and wafer resources will be going towards AI. It’s simply good business sense.
As a shareholder of nVidia (and a gamer since the 90s), I stated before, and will state again, I believe nVidia will just shift to AI. Plenty of 5000 series in the wild now, they do not need to lower price with absolutely no competition on the high end. Those cards can sit as far as nVidia is concerned and they can shift manufacturing time to the AI cards. After all, nVidia already made its money selling them to the distributors or AIBs
So this statement isn’t really true. Recent discussion talking about how it’s not a zero sum game, but rather a coordination and total component supply bottlenecks that dictate AI chip manufacturing yield, not that “gaming gpus” take away from the total number of AI chips a company can sell.
AI and GeForce generally used different node for the silicon. GeForce normally uses a lesser node so it might not even effect AI production. If Nvidia can get more capacity allocation then yes I can see them dumping gaming cards.
Not much recently, Lovelace/Blackwell shared very similar node I think, unlike say ampere that had Samsung (gaming) vs TSMC (A100 line) going at the same time. A bigger current example is Switch 2 gaming for Nvidia, being on old 2022/2023 die made on Samsung 8++, why not ?
