Will you buy a RTX 5090?

It can probably be fixed with a BIOS update, but if it can't, I agree

Even if it can be fixed with bios update, the cards that have already been sent from factory would need to be flashed - and people would need to know about the issue in the first place, and then have to flash it after doing the workaround.

Damn that's not alot of test results ! Shows how few consumers have actually gotten a 5090.

While that is true, the results reflect only identical CPU and GPU combinations, 5090's paired with different CPU's will only show up in results for identical setups.

I saw an article the other day that said the easiest way to get a 5080/90 was to buy a prebuilt. I guess if you had the cash and really wanted the card you could buy the prebuilt swap the card with your old 4080/90 and resell it keeping the 5080/90

Can I expect that in the next few months prices of the 5090 will stabilize around 3000€? I'm building a new computer this year.

Hard to say where the prices will end up!
I just read that MSI and ASUS have bumped the official prices in the US; I am sure EU prices are not far behind.

Depending on what silly things Mr. Orange does in the next weeks, I estimate that the prices will either stay astronomical, or they will simply not be available, for most of the year :shadedshu:

Don't think they will be able to get away with the insane pricing the same way in eu, so not sure about that.

I can't think of anything I'd do with it to justify the purchase. My games budget for this year is currently leaning more towards getting a Switch 2 + some games, tbh. I skipped the original Switch and I've cleared my 3DS backlog.

I reckon alot of people feel that way - the list over games that you'd wanna upgrade for over the next 2 years is quite meager. Next game for me is witcher 4, which aint till 2028, at which point there will be a new gen out.

This is what my local retailer says:

Limit 1 per household
This product is not available to buy online or instore.
This product is not available to order

Pretty much impossible to buy them. Why even advertise them lol
I've got a feeling they are keeping them for system builds for the time being.

i know someone with a store that didn't sold a single card and scalped them all in local sites for trading items. And he even bragged about it. But there was something he said i really couldn't counter argue against: if i sold it at MSRP, most likely someone else would be reselling it and pocketing the money.
It's the world we live in.

Lots of 5090's for sale in my country in those type of websites, not a single 5090 or 5080 in any store.

It seems most stores just sold them to scalpers... it's crazy how scummy the world is becoming.

Noice. I get more enjoyment out of my Honda cbr125r than a 5090 could ever give me.

GreiverBlade · Feb 7, 2025

nope, will not buy any of the 50XX series ...

the 5090 would be too expensive (and kind of a joke it seems )
the 5080 is not really interesting since i have a RX 7900 XTX, kind of a sidegrade
anything under the 5080 would not even be an upgrade ...

glad i am not a fan of RTRT or framegen and everything i play run smooth at 1620p60

and also i really like my 24gb 384bit

vigor said:

i don't know about Crysis, the game, would run on it, but i reckon that in a crisis it would run quite good

T4C Fantasy · Feb 9, 2025

I can find 5080s on amazon but not 5090s, also not anywhere near msrp, amazon is a jungle even 3090 and up is double the value....

I own an evga rtx 3080 10gb that I paid $700 in 2020 and i see no need to upgrade.

RTX 3080 700$ @ Die Size 628 mm² Good deal! I bought used for 500€.
RTX 4080 1200$ @ Die Size 379 mm² Bad deal! (it costs way less to produce but actually is 72% more expensive)

The times when nvidia profit goes from high to extreme!

vigor · Feb 9, 2025

$1800 and up for 5080 on eBay and Amazon :roll:

Tbf a 5070 ti would likely be near double the performance at nearly the same price

Around ~34% faster than RTX 3080 after 4.5 years and still around ~20-25% more expensive than RTX 3080. Meanwhile RTX 5070 Ti costs way less to produce.

RTX 3080 Die Size 628 mm²
RTX 5070 Ti Die Size 378 mm²

I call this phenomenon very simple "green idiot magnet" (Someone should write book about it)

If I could get a founder's at MSRP, sure.

Now everything is on ebay. cards are being intercepted by bots and then put up for blackmail by opportunists. Accept that this is not possible in the first 6 months.

Jeez lol, my only option is amazon atm

If 5070 ti overclocks for 30% more gpu frequency, I can buy it instead of 5080 & have no melting issues.

Radxge · Saturday at 11:15 PM

So let me get this straight:
- Availability is virtually non existent (ignoring BS like eBay, etc.)
- If you miraculously find one in a store, street price vastly exceeds MRSP
- Potential melting issue due to bad engineering
- Driver instability
- ROPs may be missing
- PhyX support is gone without warning
- Less efficient than 4090
- Basically same node as two years old 4090

So worst NVIDIA launch ever, right?
