It worked great for my kids who never changed any settings in game but would just have GeForce Experience do it for them. I like to look at it and see what nVidia recommends the settings should be in my system.

I just max out the in-game settings and then adjust from there if the performance isn't good.

I'm fine with not being "selected," but I'm not sure why they can't provide a little transparency on how people are being selected, if it is indeed a lottery (it definitely did seem like 4090 ownership was a bias early on in March/April), or allocate at least maybe 50% of the cards in a FIFO queue, which EVGA did and seemed fair, and the remaining 50% for a lottery if need be. And stop sending them out to people who already have 5090 FEs.

If they gave any indication on how users are selected, it would be instantly exploited and we still wouldn't get the cards. It has to be a void otherwise people suck and it'll just be bots and resellers (like the market isn't already dealing with enough of this:rolleyes:).

I'm not sure how it can be exploited if it can at least be confirmed if it's random and a lottery, which is all I was really asking for them to confirm. It did seem like 4090 FE owners were being prioritized in the beginning but it now seems to be random. But the point I was making was that the current system is flawed and existing 5090 FE owners are getting VPA invites, bypassing users who had signed up since February, who are still waiting.
 
Got selected finally earlier this week, passed on it though since I thought I would be still okay with my 4090 FE. Was playing Turtle Wow last night, pounded a few beverages and was heavily buzzed around 3AM, and decided to hop on Microcenter site and see they have the TUF Gaming 5090 available for $1999.99. Broke down and said F it, I can always return it. Pick up the order and find out they gave me the OC version instead of the regular version. So now I really am stuck on what to do lol. It is essentially a free upgrade I feel at this point for me.

Was actually trying to convince myself to get another NAS - UGreen NASync DXP8800 Plus when I decided to look at Microcenter. They have an open box for $1K but I know I would be throwing money since I had no HDD's to populate it with. Somehow, I convinced the wife the GPU was a better purchase hahaha.

Also, I have read some threads on reddit that BestBuy has some 5090 FE that are not being listed due to the crazy bot situation the past few months. Said to call in the store or virtual sales and they would either put you on a list or call you back and let you purchase one. Worth a shot.

Everybody needs a 5090. Keep it!
 
I finally got the email today and of course I don't have the money- I had the money set aside initially, but life happens. If I got the email like 6mos ago I would have jumped on it but I'm good with my 9070xt. $2200 is just too much for me to part with at the moment.

Oh well.
 
How many people got a second VPA invite?

I certainly did. Went through with the order for the hell of it, it actually got fulfilled and delivered, albeit a few days too early for that ARC Raiders promo. Wonder if I can talk NVIDIA support into giving a game code regardless.

I never got one. I checked and it says I'm still signed up. ??? Lame.
