Amazon AU has the Palit for $4299 AUD.

How much longer am I supposed to wait? You think they will end up under 4k relatively soon?

Also, anybody know roughly when these "Supers" are going to get released? Am I better off waiting for those to get more price drops?

Shit, might as well just wait for Rubin at this point ffs.

Don’t see it dipping under $4k but who knows. I know I’d buy for $4.3k if I didn’t already have one.

EDIT: Sold out on Amazon AU for $4.3k ALREADY?

Yeah, was about to pull the pin. There is one left but going to see where the market goes from here. It seems there is plenty of stock for more price drops. I'll be watching ;)

Buy the Palit and flash the OC BIOS. Man, what an experience. This card is quiet and incredibly powerful, I love it. Rubin is gonna be data center only, I think we might be getting a new desktop GPU by Feynman, or maybe it'll be Rubin but offset by a generation. In any case, probably 2 years off at this point. At least 18 months.

Thinking early 2027 at the earliest the way things are going unless AMD comes out with a banger in 2026, not holding my breath.

AMD doesn’t have anything scheduled until 2027.

With the weakening of the USD I would wait.

I didn't realize amd had a schedule when it comes to gpu's I thought they waited till Nvidia releases somthing to copy their game plan.
 
I tried to get a 5090 at launch in Canada. Was impossible. Managed to get an Asus TUF 5090 OC 2 weeks ago off Amazon. No regrets performance is great, yes it was expensive but so is life

Any water blocks around for it? Would like to get it on water.

Alphacool have one


Fits:-
- Gainward GeForce RTX™ 5090 Phantom (4878 / NE75090019R5-GB2020P)
- Gainward GeForce RTX™ 5090 Phantom GS (4861 / NE75090S19R5-GB2020P)
- Palit GeForce RTX™ 5090 GameRock (NE75090019R5-GB2020G)
- Palit GeForce RTX™ 5090 GameRock OC (NE75090S19R5-GB2020G)
 
5090 just show up in Steam Hardware Survey, currently at 0.19%, with the size of Steam userbase that would be more than 2 millions unit in the hand of gamers (even more end up in AI farm)

This is it. I had in mind to get it @ 2K MSRP. Current prices are over the top for me, but if you're an enthusiast, how is it different from splashing big bucks on a new bike, TV or phone?

Also, it seems to be the only card to offer real performance in 4K in latest titles. I've just tried my 5070Ti + 9800X3D in Oblivion and get <60 fps in dungeons. Jesus wept.

On launch day I managed to get 2 5090 FE's in my bestbuy account (only wanted 1) but given the absolute fuckery of availability I just said screw it and tried to check out, but it was too late and they were out of stock. 2900$ instead of 3629 would have been nicer. Oh well. I was late to the game getting a 4090 but I paid 2600$ for it. A stupid amount of money but in reality had i got a FE it would have only been around a 300$ upgrade which isn't bad at all.
 
GTX 1080 ti is my last Nvidia GPU. I do have a funny history with my PC builds

Athlon X2 5000 BE / 8500 GT
Phenom II X6 1055t / HD 3870
i7 2600k / two GTX 580
i7 2600k / GTX 980
i7 6700k / GTX 980
Threadripper 1950x / two GTX 1080 ti
Ryzen 7 5700g / Vega 8 iGPU
Ryzen 7 1700x / RX 550
Ryzen 7 3800x / RX 640
i5 4690k / RX 640
Ryzen 9 5900x / RX 550
Ryzen Custom APU / iGPU (Sephiroth)

I am just trying stuff. lol

I am thinking of 780m will be my next GPU. I am stuck around RX 640/550 levels of performance since 2021.
 
My history:

i5-4570 + ASUS GT 1030 2GB
FX-8120 + EVGA GTX 1060 3GB
Ryzen 5 7600 + ASRock RX 6800 XT 16GB

Even if 50 series wasn't complete dogshit, I probably won't be thinking about a GPU upgrade for at least 6 years. I play mostly older games at 1080p.
By the time I'm considering a new card for games, 50 series will be dated and replaced by an even shittier generation. If 5060 Ti 8GB prices come down enough, might pick up one of those for non-gaming purposes. So yeah, no 50 series for me right now, and definitely no 5090.

It's such a personal preference thing! I like to play games on max settings. I can afford to pay for those cards. Are they good value? Depends on what you want but then end of the day they hold their value pretty well so it's a manageable cost over two years and I get lots of good fun out of it.

I'm not sure why you're writing here about this, but if Valve gets a little kinder and adds all the 9000 series cards, this issue will become a little clearer.
And why the 9070 is counted in the Vulkan section with 16% and in DX12 with 8% is a complete mystery.
And yes, as it seems, your prediction is wrong.

Thread is asking about 5090 purchase. Steam survey shows whales purchasing at soon as prices start coming down matching my 3 month prediction that prices will stabilize towards MSRP by black Friday? Let me know which part seems wrong?

Maybe I misunderstood you for predicting that RDNA 4 wouldn't enter the chart as well, excuse me for that.

No worries. Some are raising the question on the validity of the survey.

I mean it's the best chart we have even though it's far from perfect valve also uses AMD hardware in their popular steamdeck so the notion that steam has it out for amd is comical at best.

I wish that you could limit the survey to new computers over the last 1-5 years it would be more interesting than how many people from a decade ago still rock a gtx gpu.

JPR is the other place that tracks discrete gpu marketshare and Nvidia has been near 90% for a while.
 
4080 Super
Cost: $1000 (what I paid)
Passmark DX11: 302 FPS
Passmark DX12: 133 FPS
G3D Rating: 34215

5090
Cost: ~$3000
Passmark DX11: 344 FPS
Passmark DX12: 184 FPS
G3D Rating: 39748

Conclusion:


5090 is 13.9% faster overall and costs ~300% more



Alternatively, focusing on DX12 and assuming a "deal" at $2500:

5090 is 28% faster and costs 250% more in DX12 games

If MSRP was real:

5090 is 28% faster and 200% more expensive in DX12 games

So as much as it would be nice to have a higher average framerate than my monitor's refresh rate at 165hz, I'm waiting for the 6080 or 7080.
