Glad to see being on their Notify list works...never got one and I'm on it lol
Yes but were you on the list to be notified by the notify list?
I’m starting to think that they go by how often you shop there. They aren’t my first go to, but I use them occasionally. I put in to be notified once they appeared on their site and haven’t gotten anything from them.
If you get a 5070ti Founders Edition, you should flip it on eBay because it will be the only one in existence. ;-)
I just remember it giving me three card options to select for interest and I selected all three.
No idea how good a company this is but microcenter has a pre built with a 9950x3d and 5080 for less.
That is Micro Center's house build brand so they are solid for sure! $5500 for the 5090 variant (when in stock) - we have them at the St Louis Park store.
Seems like a solid deal
Nah, they just covered up the 5070ti with a 5080 sticker
Wait, those are in stock to buy?
depends on local pick up stock, I can add a few to cart
I haven't seen the non ARGB PNY 5090 drop in a while.
But today it showed up on Walmart at $3200.
Yup, PNY kept it at $2000 for quite a while. Then it suddenly shows up at $3200.
They handled it longer than the big boys ASUS and MSI.
Asus loves their prices higher than everyone else. Gives them that "superior" feeling.
I'm curious to see a breakdown of some of the hardware from other companies to see if they deviate from the baseline in the way that some Asus models, particularly the Astral (and before that the Strix / Matrix 4090 etc) did in terms of VRM. Don't get me wrong I think the prices are insane, but if I'm going to spend $3000+ for a 5090, I'd rather it be the highest end one not just in terms of performance or cooling, but VRM and other component safety. I vaguely remember a Buildzoid comparison where they showed that the Asus Astral tried to make up for some of the problems that were commonplace in the FE's power delivery, but could only deviate so far from what NVidia seems to demand (otherwise, an AIB could split it properly a la the 3090 era). Have there been any updates breaking down the differences in hardware, cooling, PCB design, VRM and power delivery etc.. between various 5090s? Last I had seen ther wasn't anything reputable aside from thea forementioned Buildzoid video, but maybe there's something more recent.Asus loves their prices higher than everyone else. Gives them that "superior" feeling.
If anybody is looking for the lowest priced 5090 that will be the Zotac 5090 Solid OC at $2900.
thats insaneway below scalper prices. Hopefully those dudes have to eat a big loss here soon.
Still up at 0515CST 20250426
Wow, after 9+ hours, still available. Looks to me like demand is trending downwards and supply keeps increasing or perhaps holding steady. I guess we should all wait.
Microcenter has had 5600ti, 5700, 5700ti, and 5800 all in stock since the 5600ti came out (none of them lower than at least $100 over MSRP, but they're in stock), and only the 5800 occasionally was going out of stock over the last few weeks.
both plus its mostly down to those unwilling to pay these still stupid prices.
It's been in stock for at least 19 hours since this post, which is quite unusual considering that both the Best Buy Gigabyte and ASUS, despite being priced higher, sold out quickly.
+ wavering demand + people saw the thermal gel drooping down issue when mounted vertically. Gigabyte claims it is from earlier batches and has been addressed.
