I got a notification in GFE earlier and got excited, but no. It was a free month of adobe something or other. Oh.

Right up there with "angry rage gamers" smashing the hell out of their keyboards every other round. pretty much cost of doing business. hell, it may even be a tax writeoff. hahaYeah i could totally see streamers and celebs buying these up - or the people that build crazy rigs for celebs. What's $10K for a box versus $5K for them...
When did you order your card? Mine still says awaiting fulfillment and mine was ordered on the 12th.I did, and it will be here tomorrow Thursday. Website still says 'Awaiting fulfillment', but if you click on it, it shows the tracking number (Fedex Ground in my case).
My choices are limited to FE and Asus due to waterblock availability.
So close to pulling the trigger on the Strix model on launch day, but couldn’t get myself to spend 2k+ this go around.
The 12th, same as you. My also say 'Waiting for fulfillment', when I click on the order it takes me to another page where it shows the tracking number. It shipped the 14th.When did you order your card? Mine still says awaiting fulfillment and mine was ordered on the 12th.
Thank you. Unfortunately mine still says awaiting fulfillment after clicking on the order itself. Hopefully mine will show up and it may just be they didn't update the order with a tracking number. Don't think I'll be that lucky. I do find it interesting that it now says it is no longer available instead of not in stock on the bottom of the page if you try to reorder..The 12th, same as you.

Well of course you could create a situation where there was a small difference but at that point it doesn't really matter unless you just want to drive yourself crazy. Plus the miniscule lead a 13900k will have will be completely wiped out when the 7000 series 3D chips come out. Basically if you have a 5800x 3D then I would not even worry about it until there is a worthwhile CPU upgrade.I actually have somone telling me that my 5800x3D isn't enough for a 4090... that I need an Intel 13th gen core or Ryzen 7000 CPU to not bottleneck it... Does anyone else actually believe this?
It's absolutely nuts. Any CPU upgrade at the moment is a $1000-1200 full platform rebuild for single-digit percentage increase in performance. Nobody in their right mind would think that was worth it.Well of course you could create a situation where there was a small difference but at that point it doesn't really matter unless you just want to drive yourself crazy.

Haha, what's another 1-1.2K when you just spent $1600?It's absolutely nuts. Any CPU upgrade at the moment is a $1000-1200 full platform rebuild for single-digit percentage increase in performance. Nobody in their right mind would think that was worth it.
Sincerely,
-Some dude who just bought a $1600 GPU.
I've "unlaunched" my desire for a 4090.This thread is specifically for those who intend or might consider getting RTX 4090 card soon or in the distant future...
Well fuck me. I had it open on my desktop, iPhone, and iPad.Make sure not to enter multiple queues on same account or it can get you flagged/softban. No opening multiple browsers and tabs for multiple queues.
Single queue open per account/IP or you can get stuck in queue forever.
Is this a joke? There are many people out there for whom $2k over MSRP is peanuts. It could be kids with wealthy parents. It could be successful YouTubers, Twitch streamers etc. Markiplier (who has 33m subs on YouTube) revealed on a podcast recently that he makes ~ $38 million per year. That's ~ $3.2 million per month. You think he'd care about dropping an extra $2k on a top-tier GPU? lol Then again, Asus would jump up and down to give him GPUs for free if he was willing to do a video about it so it would actually cost him $0.I often wonder who actually buys for literally thousands above retail pricing. I mean how compulsive and irresponsible do you have to be to do that. I mean it's not like a collection item or some super rare item.
At least it's the corner and well protected. Hopefully the card is unharmed.GeForce Experience redemption pick up at Best Buy

I agree word for wordI am still waiting on this massive stock that I was promised and by that I mean that I can go online and buy a 4090 any time.
Seems I missed the cut off to have my card sent out this week. Gigabyte got back to me and verified it will be sent out next week so some more patience needed on my part.The 12th, same as you.

No. I haven't seen them carry anything asus other than laptops. That's about it. Their hardware components partners seem to everyone else.Over the past decade HardForums has helped me one way or another; I always find my way back to this little corner of the web. Anyway, does anyone know if BB ever stocked the Strix 4090?
Secondly, I am trying to target either Best Buy or Amazon (perhaps Newegg as well) for a Strix 4090; any recommended discord servers to follow for potential drops?
Thank you. Yeah I have a scout out at the local Micro Center but who knows when the'd get a restock as they are getting random drops here and there. Dude told me on launch morning they had several Strix coming in, but I was caught up in meetings haha.No. I haven't seen them carry anything asus other than laptops. That's about it.

Barely fits!!View attachment 519910
Mounted up the 4090 FE in my 5800X3D “Millenium Falcon” build (looks like junk - an NZXT 510 prebuilt case on the outside - but has it where it counts).
Don’t feel bad they were out of STRIX for anyone that wasn’t there by 6am. I got there at 515am and only 4 sold after me. MN represent!Thank you.

Seems like Micro Center is getting tons and tons of Asus and Gigabyte cards, but nothing on the MSI front (that seems to be BB territory). My MC contact tells me that there is little hope for Suprim X (or Liquid) from MC in the near future. Not sure how true that is for every MC distro, but that applies to Midwest at least (I am in MN).
P.s. If there is anyone here who is selling a Strix 4090 brand new, sealed, I am happy to work with you and pay you a reasonable premium over the retail cost (keyword: reasonable). Cheers!
hey another Minnesotan! Thanks for the encouraging words friend! I am in Eden Prairie. Say "hi" over DM!Don’t feel bad they were out of STRIX for anyone that wasn’t there by 6am. I got there at 515am and only 4 sold after me. MN represent!
Installed and running great! Without a doubt this is the best GPU I've ever owned. Super-fast, quiet, and runs nice and cool. Nvidia knocked it out of the park with this one.Going to BB this afternoon to pick up my Gigabyte Gaming OC. Can't wait to install it.
They are a little bit slow - I got a email from them tonight that it was shipped lolSeems I missed the cut off to have my card sent out this week. Gigabyte got back to me and verified it will be sent out next week so some more patience needed on my part.
Unless it's the water cooled one, Highly doubtfull. The max GPU length that case can accommodate is 330 mm. Most of MSI cards are longer than that by at least 5-6 mm.Anyone here rocking an Antec 1100 and a 4090 care to chime in on fitment? Skeptical if the MSI will fit..
Guess I'll have to wait for an FE, not in the mood for a full rebuild.Highly doubtfull. The max GPU length that case can accommodate is 330 mm. Most of MSI cards are longer than that by at least 5-6 mm.
Me for sure.I was strictly considering the 4090 FE, due to the looks, the size, etc. Third party card designs were even less appealing than last gen, and no white options. Worse, they are usually $100-$400 more.
Though, I ended up getting the Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC from BB, due to how the FE launch went. It was a last minute decision. I told myself I’d return it if I was able to later get an FE. But now I’m not sure which I’d keep or try to get an FE anymore.
To my surprise, despite $100 more, it at least seems to run really cooler compared to most cards, especially the memory. Visually, mixed bag, the backplate is nice, the flow of the fins is nice, but the side and font work is a bit cheap. Overall, it blends into the build well enough.
So again, since it fits, including the bracket, works, runs cool and quiet, I think I might keep it over continuing to search for an FE.
Anyone else have that happen? Desired to only get an FE, tried a different card in the meantime, pleasantly surprised with what you got, and no longer bothering with an FE?
