walmart dropped 5080 oc msi i had it in cart but didnt want to spend 1.3k would rather pay msrp for FE

So wish I waited to sell my 4090 FE.. Would’ve made hundreds more.. Oh well. 😅 Won’t make the same mistake w/ my 5090 FE.

I have a 4090 but I don’t think I’m going to upgrade the performance ratio between the two aren’t as far off compared to a 4090 25 to 30 percent in raster performance is not that special 6090 is the go to for me I’ll wait

do you think best buy will restock tomorrow bro?

First

It’s literally every card. I bought a 7900xt a few days before the paper launch and it’s already up 400 bucks. Wild.

what about GTA 6 though ?

It's been crazy. I have no idea why these people are paying so much more than new MSRP for used GPUs. If you're paying $1300+ for a 4080 why not just get a 5080? I missed ONE 4080s selling for $600 and it's haunted me ever since.

Wait… a 4080 for $600?! How?! Black Ops 6 is also on PC gamepass

Console for GTA, College Football & crossplay off to combat cheaters in FPS. That & I have a 5090 FE for my rig shipping on Wednesday 😬

i accidentally bought 2 4080 supers in october and sent the other back

How much ram? Maybe mine some frennnns 🐸

Mine now

The exception is GTA. Got to get that ps5 ready to game day one!!

From what I can tell, any GPU that can perform at the level of a 4070 or higher is just getting annihilated. I think when the dismal performance of the 50-series cards popped up, and then Nvidia decided to engineer a stock shortage, a lot of people said "screw it" and snapped up the stock of other cards sitting on the market.

The discords helped me get a 5080 vanguard launch edition. Get combo deals if you want to beat bots. I got lucky and psu was out of stock so just got GPU.

Since there are less and less true exclusives, we don't really need consoles anymore anyway. At least that is my perspective on console gaming these days. Last generation that truly made sense probably was the xbox 360/ps3 generation in that regard.

Dang

I think most people would agree it's not the 5090 that is driving prices up. Anyone paying attention will realize that if/when Trump enacts the semiconductor tariff on Taiwan, we will see GPU prices skyrocket. Anyone looking for a new upgrade is trying to get what they can BEFORE this goes down. What would you rather do, spend $1200 to $1400 on 4080 Super today, or wait for a 5080 to come back into stock in March when tariff tax has that card over 2000 or more. FOMO will strike again. It's coming.

As someone that bought a 5080, I kinda feel like I got scammed. But I also feel like it was the best bang for my buck right now. Leave aside that this generation the 5080 is getting scrwd with the fact that it's just not that much of an improvement over last gen. The 5070 TI that's set to release .. is almost as powerful. 10700 cores vs 8900 cores with the same amount of vram. The regular 5070 seems to be a lot less powerful. Meanwhile the difference between the 5090 and 5080 is a whopping 11 000 cores and double the vram. Currently the lowest price you can get a 5080 for in the Netherlands (5080 .. not 5090) is 1850, with most going for 2000eur. All the FE 5080 and 5090 were snatched up by a group of german scalpers using bots. I've seen 4080 super go for as low as 1200 a few days ago, but most try to peddle them for around 1400/2000 some even for almost 3k depending on the partner card type. So if you're building your own PC, the cheapest would be to buy a 4080 super, losing out on 10/15% performance, faster vram, MFG etc. But, strangely if you buy a prebuilt... the prices seem the same. In fact I found 5080 prebuilts cheaper than the cheapest 4080 prebuilts. Ended up buying a 5080 + 9800x3D prebuilt for 2900 (could have gone as cheap as 2700 but I upgraded the SSD and added a MS license that wasn't even included at the base price, or even 2400 with an intel 14700KF CPU or 2500eur with a 7800x3D, I wouldn't take the intel CPU becauase of all the issues and I figured I might as well go 200 more for the 9800x3D which turned into 400 the MS license and 1tb extra ssd space) The price I paid in the end wasn't that much more than I would have spent building a 4080 super PC. But much cheaper than I'd spend if I tried to build a 5080 since those go for 2k. But I'm disappointed with how little improvement it is over the previous gen. And I feel like in a couple of months they will release the super for around the same price like 4000 more cores, making that the real 5080. I feel it's insane to have a card sell at around 2000k and it's barely better than the 5070 TI but I also imagine that the same will happen with the price for those. Shops and stores on the other hand seem to be getting them at MSRP and the prebuilt market seems to have a lot more competition and thus are selling for far more reasonable prices if you don't go for "premium builts" but strangely the price difference between 4080/5080 builts is basically not really there. Meanwhile you might think, well for 2k a card you might as well go wit ha 4090. But those start at 3.1k and avearge around 4k. So can you imagine what kind of prices they will ask for 5090 when they're in stock lol. Again, it looks like the prebuilts will be a lot cheaper. I mean most go for 4/5k but I've managed to found one 4090 prebuilt for 3.3k. How the f does any of this make sense. Even when cheaping out on other parts it's just a better deal. On tweakers (a dutch tech/price watch site) there is currenly one 5090 you can buy, The MSI surpim and it costs 3.8k .. so basically 4k dollars for a 2k dollar graphics card. Anyway, yeah I feel disapointed but even more so considering the 5070 TI isn't that far behind and the fact that I'm certain they will release a 5080 super not long from now that's got 30% more performance or something

Muahahahahahahahahajahaha

I just paid $1800 for a 4090 open box F this industry.

5080 is out of stock and it will remain like that until summer hits, impossible to get a new one right now

Yep used 4090 selling for £2000+ on eBay in the uk

I use eBay ONLY to sell, dummies buy 😂😂

Why are people being morons and buying used card ? For what?? Worst than drug addiction 🤦‍♂️

I paid $3k for the second to last used 4090 white strix on Amazon. I need it for work

lol

So glad i got a 7900xt for 600 used 8 months ago

waaah waaaaaah no card, waaaaaaaaah, who gives a fuck?

I'm not the type to flip my pc parts, but I was able to sell my main pc's 4070TiS at a +$400 net without even really trying simply because prices are so jacked right now. I couldn't resist it. Crazy times.

Those of us with the Legendary 1080ti aren’t sweating this a bit. Upgrading our CPU’s alone is gonna reveal +fps for us.

lmao...it wasn't a good and they still will not get the pricing right

Just saw 7900 XT on Amazon for $650. NGL that's quite tasty looking for people that want to give up on all this insanity for now, and just grab a good mid-high AMD card to game on perfectly well for a while. If I didn't already have a 4070 Ti Super I'd be very tempted by that.

You are 💯 correct. All these youtubers down playing the 5080, yet you haven't been able to even GET a 4080 super for msrp for a very long time, and they have been out of stock for months for new cards. If you have a 4070ti or bellow series card a 5080 is a great upgrade at msrp. I'm speaking about new cards. I wouldn't buy used pc part personally.

I have pre ordered a MSI 5080 on scan (uk website) and i’m in a queue of 80 right now. How long do you think i’ll be waiting if you had to guess?

I got an FE 5090 at best buy. First wave

Bought my 4070 ti super new for 789$ (3 weeks ago) the cheapest I see for my specific version is 900$. Im very happy with my purchase. Ngl the increase in price did make me consider flipping it but I really wanted it

*laughs in 7900xtx*

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN LOOK AT EBAY? ARE YOU IDIOT? HAHAH

Truthfully this generation, or its quarter 1 refresh is my last PC part. I am exhausted, if it lasts a decade i will be 37 and i would have never been fulfilled or experienced the PC promise. Realistically PCs are great because of all the work independent developers in the 90's and early 2000's made, the corps finally got their hands on it sometime in 2013 - now the internet is just cable. Im so discouraged the generation below me will create their internet, or cable, - and the corps will ruin that too that im done, really. its crazy to think i wanted this since i was like 11, and 4000$ wasnt enough.

Its not just the worst time to buy 40 series it the worst time to buy a graphics card... monopoly is a bad thing... hopefully Trumps tarrifs will stop these being bought

I went to best buy. Opened up two tabs for 5090. Ctrl R from 8:45-9:02 on launch on the 30th. On one screen i got the add to cart, hit it in .5 seconds and about 2 minutes later i had a 5090 in my cart. Ship to store was defaulted and I was concerned if i tried to switch it to ship to home some bs would happen. So on Friday I pickup my 5090. I got an order confirmation

I got a 5090 dude

I actually felt a little bad buying my 4090 FE a few months back for about $1800 (back when many people were saying "Worst time to buy a 4090! Save for 50 series!"), but looking at the mess the 50 series caused, that purchase suddenly feels justified and smart

It's a scam .

You are hella late on this. 40 series cards have been EOL for a month or two. The remaining stock has been getting sold even by retailers for scalper prices since and there is virtually zero stock of the higher end cards unless you are buying second hand. Second hand there are actually deals to be had.

I got a 4090 for $1500 and solid my 7900 XTX for $825 😂 and both of those are better than most of the 50 series. not including the 5090

lol. guy thinks you're gonna buy a 5080. lol

it will probably only get worse
