I would rather just keep my current 4090 and not buy a 5090 at all. But I am going to try and buy one of course. Hopefully I can get one. If I can’t, I may very well waterblock my 4090, and use it in my build with new case/distro/etc and just keep it for a few years. I game for about 4-8 hours per week, and every time I play a game I think how fast this GPU is. But I know Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is coming soon. I want to be ready! Though the 4090 is probably good enough.

It’s just unfortunate that the RTX 5090 is only 35% faster than a RTX5070. My theory below: We know that the RTX 5070 matches the RTX4090, and the RTX 5090 is 30% faster than a RTX4090. So the RTX 5090 is only 30-35% faster than a 5070. 😂😂😂😂 ^ I think this statement has blown a massive hole in Nvidias statement that “RTX5070 matches 4090” 😄

I loved my 4080 Super Suprim X. The quality is really good, so yeah, I will probably just grab a 5090 Suprim. I am considering trading in my 4090 on Newegg. I just hope this does not slow the process somehow during check out. Newegg is offering 1,350 on trade-in for any 4090 which is tempting. Then I won't have to post on OC.net forums and get all the 5070 is faster replies lol. 😄

I got my funds ready for 5090 day. I should have enough for a top AIB model + taxes. (Fingers crossed) Looks like the 5090 will be at least 35% faster than a 4090. I’m surprised it’s only that much. Goes to show how strong the 4090 really is! The one thing I am wondering is how the RTX 5080 will perform. I just can’t see it beating a 4090 or even matching one. No way…. Unless I’m crazy here, it’s just the gaps between 4080 Super and 4090 are absolutely MASSIVE. Unless the 5090 is even faster than we think. 🤔 I don’t know how a 5080 is going to fill that distance.

Yeah I think a new RTX Titan is coming for sure, and I bet it’ll be at least 48GB GDDR7!! I have no use for one of those my self though (thinking about it now, I’ll be content with a 5090 if a Ti/Titan launches) I know it’ll probably be $3,499 maybe even $3,999 🫠. But hey many people will snag one! Nvidia’s feature set and drivers are really too good (as always) I’m amazed the 5090 is 512Bit bus. We haven’t seen this in a LONGGGG time. Thats gonna be some really GOOD bandwidth for 4K gaming with all the settings turn up. I just scooped up a bunch of EKWB fittings, and PETG hardline tubing for my Lian Li V3000+ Plus! Never done hardline before.. But I feel the case deserves it. This build will be kinda RETRO+MODERN spin being that it’s a Xeon 3175X, Dominus, RTX 5090 and all that etc. I offered $130 for the lot, and he accepted! Now, I’m just waiting on the Distro coming from Singularity Computers, it’s coming all the way from (42 Wallabee way Sydney 😂) Singularity Computers is an Australian company. Anyways, then I just need radiators and fans. And I’ll be set. I haven’t decided on which fans. Thermaltake’s Noctua knockoffs in white are looking pretty good though. https://www.overclock.net/threads/16mm-od-bitspower-acrylic-tubing-ek-fittings-monsoon-accessories.1811440/?post_id=29413597#post-29413597

The RTX 5090 better be good for the $2,000 dollars it will cost. Would be cool if they slow down GPU launches to 36+ months now that they literally have no competition from anyone. They could sit on a flagship for years 🤣 Just like the 4090, the only thing that beats it is a 5090.

The RTX 4090 is PURE ridiculousness in power! Mine was about 40% faster than my overclocked 4080 Super Suprim-X. If the RTX5080 is as fast or faster than a 4090, then I highly recommend getting one especially for the new tech or grabbing a 4090 for a good deal and using that. I know for a fact you'll see a large boost coming from a 4080S to 4090. (Not sure what the 5080 will be like though) I just know the 4090 is a 4K BRUTE! As for CPU bottleneck, I run 4K/120HZ and I'm using a very old Xeon w3175X. So, using my current RTX4090 there is definitely room for GPU growth. Most games I play are always GPU limited unless it's an older title with DX11.

I hope we see some models with factory water blocks installed. That would be really cool! I would snag one of those real quick. It's so easy to get a GPU with a block already mounted. Just unbox and go! No waiting on water blocks to come out, no installing the water block either. No that this is an issue, it's just that most water blocks are expensive when they first come out, and you have to wait a little while.

I have gotten some funds ready and have been deciding how much I might need. Looking at prior behavior it seems like the Asus and MSI AIB's will have a 20-25% mark-up over the Founder Edition models. So, if the RTX 5090 FE is $1,999. I can only assume the Asus RTX 5090 Astral will be $2,499 at least and possibly $2,549.99 for the Astral OC model. I feel like the MSI Suprim OC Liquid will be $2,599, and the MSI Suprim OC Air will be $2,399. So, with taxes I think I will be okay with $2,700 USD to grab pretty much any AIB available on Newegg. (I am assuming this is correct thinking) I would love to get an FE model, but with past luck that never happens for me lol. The cheapest ones always sell first. Then the most expensive ones go next. So, I feel like I will be forced to just buy an expensive AIB 5090 to get one at all. I really like the FE, but I am not dead set on one. I will have my BestBuy window up, and certainly if I can buy one, I will grab one. I am unfamiliar with the BestBuy process. I tried with the 4080 Super on launch day and had no luck. Newegg may be my go-to! I hope they do better with all of the bots buying up GPU's. Oh and yeah, I am a sick puppy. The fact that I think I need this at all. 🤣

Well, I’m just hoping we can find some sort of pre-waterblocked 5090 that is not much more than $2K. The problem is AIB’s are wanting to overcharge. If the premium 4080 Super is $999.00, then the crappiest and cheapest AIB’s are starting their price at $1,050. The 5090 FE has gone fully moduler, the GPU boards can be quickly repaired from the looks of it. It almost looks like the GPU+GDDR7 are sitting on a standalone master board. And if someone broke the PCIe slot or crushes the whole thing it would be a really cheap fix. Unless I’m mistaken here. Other AIB’s may not have gone that route. So the FE does seem to be some interesting engineering. While AIB’s are still going to cost more than the 5090FE models.

Man! I’d love a 5090 with a factory installed waterblock!!!! 😱😱😱 I hope they’re not some crazy price. $2299 would be very reasonable. 😬 Hopefully not something dumb like $2,599 or $2750 🫠 I’m already nuts for considering this.

I hope it’s a good launch with inventory available. The strix models will probably be $2,500 or $2,700 with tax no doubt lol. I think this is where the $3K predictions come from. Are you going to buy an FE model? I think I’d like a Strix OC model or something really good. I’ve learned my lesson with buying one just to get one due to availability and pricing. I really want to be one and done!! Ideally it’s going in my Lian Li V3000+ Plus, on air possibly on water and staying.

I have CSM enabled on my Dominus. I wish I didn’t have to have it on. The post screen is ugly, and much longer load times. But, if I disable CSM and run regular UEFI, my Bluetooth does not work in Windows 11. I really need Bluetooth because I own some Bose QC45’s, and also use a wireless mouse and Xbox controller sometimes. Or quick file transfers, and enabling hotspot and things like that are useful. I’m thinking about getting one! But now I’m seeing their real performance gains seem not so amazing. I guess it’s like 20% in rasterization, and sometimes as low as 8% depending how high the 4090 power level and clocks are. Of course the best feature set will be DLSS 4.0, double frame gen and things like that. I know these features are gonna be good! And they will allow the 5090 to be a BRUTE in 4K/120HZ gaming. But my 4090 is already amazing. I’m really torn. I’ll probably get one. And if I don’t absolutely LOVE it, I will just return it. I never had any issues with a single PCIe Gen 5 cable even with 675 watts rolling. But I am using a good quality Gen 5 PSU. This amazes me, because we could never do this in the past with our 8 pin PCIe power supplies. I know if I ran a RTX 3090 FE, and I plugged in one single PCIe 8 pin, and then plugged both of those 8 pins in to it the 350 watt RTX3099 this system would power off using a completely stock 3090 with 350w TGP, or reboot due to load. We would have to plug in (2) 8 pins in separate ports on the PSU, and run separate 8 pins to the 3090 for reliable gaming.

It’s a big case at almost 67 pounds. I think It’s from all of the metal with no plastic anywhere in sight. Even the HDD racks are all steel. I’m trying to get a discount code from Singularity to save some money. But yeah distros are a bit expensive. But so are most pumps+reservoirs anyways. These custom case distros from Singularity are made by hand and use real flat custom gaskets and not O-Rings, nice tool steel stainless hardware and engineering to be case specific. The one I want has mounting for dual D5’s for $260.00-$280 which isn’t too bad at all. It’s a reservoir, and distro, and a pump all in one. But some are ridiculous. EKWB makes a Distro for my Lian Li V3000+ Plus and it’s only single D5 distro and it’s $589.99. This pricing is pure ridiculous lol. I think a distro for a case shouldn’t exceed the MSRP of the case it goes in lol. So all 5090’s require 2x Gen5 PCIe cables? Do you think I will have a chance of getting a 5090 on launch day if I’m ordering online? I know you typically always get items on launch day. But I’m pretty terrible with this stuff.

Yes, I really enjoy guns as well. I only own two guns though I have a Glock 30 in 45 ACP, and a AR15 in 6MM ARC with 1-8 scope. Guns are a lot Of fun! I also enjoy motor and cars as well. But they really are way too expensive for me to play with other than owning a used something cheap for basic transportation. After lots of debating and thinking I have decided my direction with the Lian Li V3000+ Plus. This is one serious case, and I was getting overwhelmed with all the stuff I needed to feel like I’m actually doing it some justice. I’m going to order (2) German Watercool brand 480mm stainless rads, and (1) cheaper 480mm rad for the basement that isn’t seen, then I’m putting in a dual D5 distro plate made by Singularity Computers. And I’ll do push/ pull with some white Lian Li fans. I don’t think I realized the budget I’d need to blow on just building in this case and doing it properly Honestly lol. I’m trying to be cheap with it which is proving to be a real challenge lol. But I’m going to pull it off and make it look cool. I’m probably gonna keep my 4090 and put a waterblock on it. It’s not feasibly realistic to buy a 5090 right now. I may grab one in 6 months or 1 year though as an upgrade to incorporate in this exact same case/build/loop.
