There must be some better way but even if they waited a few months the go from 200 in the Wearhouse to 2000, if they don't setup some kind of verified list the resellers and bots will still get 90% of them. But you'll be able to click on the add to cart for 15 minutes vs. 1 minute, still only to see the "Something went wrong." message over and over.
Asus being Asus again.
I’d love to relive my 9700 Pro days, but I’ve been waiting decades for that high end card.At this point I don’t believe it will ever happen.
Unless AMD can poach the necessary engineering talent or get lucky again and acquire a company that has a product design that can compete with NVIDIA like they did when they bought ArtX, that's not going to happen.
Would not count on that for 2+ years.
I would love AMD to get competitive again.. or Intel even.. Intel is at the RTX4060 level...
It’s market forces though. Clearly people are willing to pay $3,000 for 30%.

Oh it’s no secret, Nvidia isn’t trying to sell these. They knew they were bad performers for the price. They cut production of 40 series earlier than normal, let the channel dry out for months and then paper launch to create fomo. Which obviously worked so far. 5090 being “sold out” really wasn’t a surprise when it’s confirmed they sent more 5090’s to reviewers than retail stores.
If you game at 1440p they are very competitive actually. Drivers have matured. My son uses a ArcA770 16GB and it does the job just fine. And I got the card for $200 brand new from microcenter last year.
You've been banging the wrong women
Yep. Apps/other tools are the new f5 key
. Good advice there for people going for them!
my msi 4090 gaming x trio is going for $3498 on amazon rn.. w t f
My guess is that if it was "really yours", you'd be doing a happy dance right now.
If you love gaming then your 4090 is worth much more than the money you could get for selling it.
Even more true if obtaining a "50" series is elusive at best. Right now, many might argue that the 4090, or even "40" series, could be approaching infinite value. For how long? Unknown.
I am so not selling my 4090 rn... I am spending my $$ on an LG UltraGear 45'' OLED Gaming Monitor, model 45GS96QB-B.. I saw it in person this weekend while visiting my dad in AZ... and wow. I think I like it better than my 42" C2.. I think... The BB in Scottsdale has it for 1200 bucks... going to see if my local BB will price match it. With less pixel density will feel like I got a 5090 too... kinda.
yeah man when I saw that thing I was like "0hhh shit... here we go" .... yeah it's very immersing.
Purchased. Will pick up tomorrow.
AMD has been competitive for the past couple generations except on the ray tracing front, but people still didn't buy them. If you read the internet people want AMD to sell their product at a massive loss and that isn't going to happen. If it did, those same people would start crying when AMD exited the video card business due to those massive losses. They're already selling on a slim 15% margin.
As always the 30% is also best case. A few games were the same-ish as a 4090. Only interested in a 5090 because there is some noticeable uplift and I feel I can get with in maybe $500 or so for my 4090.
They also weren't competitive on upscaling or framegen quality. Plus the usual driver issues.
Both of them have always had this practice for years on high demand products. If I do decide to do anything with this generation of video cards it will be months down the road when all this ridiculousness is done.ASUS jacked all prices of their cards on the egg or egg jacked them. Dunno but paying 2500 for a TUF is a TUF pill...
