I really like this one as well. $3200 OBO. I’m thinking about taking a stab at it. It’s a loaded up Titan GT77 13980HX+4090. Very tempting. I am not sure what my fascination with these machines is lol. But I’ve always wanted one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/387898747117?_skw=MSI+Titan+GT77&itmmeta=01JKKM4VJQX3R57DQNRZBJSKWV&hash=item5a509128ed:g:wfMAAOSwhwpnlUsk&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkTgwgtpf7bbC3f9KQgQqG%2BfBXkeVSfm9ojpRJ6ogDaSoM1IWiuUydboeieYj64WKN4Msxgnvxnx6uvtdmPa3U9Ro%2BdYEgbbI294cV89rnKljFavNXYTNJfZzWXd2TE6CaraHkE9mhA0y9vZ9pgU0tf7HVrVNEQy5Gux2ergISaC1jMDxAY13hg4rqZGpb8d%2BUHGDjePl7nXKuQWeFQ6%2FZ6RjMF8w5OGfSvcvSICyEZEXtuRtaZ2pMnpYgWbKm3e4QBvrXQ24XLmi9fj3aaOT2tieSrMzycgOwh87DYfDhtUA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7y5k_ScZQ

They have a 7950HX3D available as a laptop CPU? Amazing. I had no idea. @electrosoft how much was the new 4090 machine?

I just snagged this HWlabs 480GTX White and it’s brand new! $120.00 shipped. 😃. Now I just need two more! I made an offer to performance PC’s who also has some on eBay. Im going to run (3) HWLabs 480 GTX or GTR’s. In my Lian Li V3000+ I am probably going to just waterblock my 4090 and use it. Running three of these is literally the best of the best. 😃 @Mr. Fox Maybe you’d consider a 4090 trade, since yours is on water already, (Of course only if you were planning to sell your 4090)

Thanks, I’m gonna see what all the fuss is about on these modern turd books. I’m really just curious. Haven’t ran a laptop in YEARS. And with Frame Gen, and GDDR7, I can only imagine these machines are much more capable systems for gaming, than RTX 3000 laptops. But I wanna see first hand, but I do not want to get stuck with something that cost $3,000 lol, nor do I want to be forced to run it for 7-14 days and decide on such a small time frame if I’m going to keep such an expensive and depreciating item.. Are you running any laptops currently?

@electrosoft I’m thinking about grabbing a 5080 laptop from BestBuy when they come available. Performance over the 4080 looks pretty good on these. I don’t think I’ll keep it long term unless I absolutely love it. But, Ideally I’d want to give it a try and just see how I like it. What’s the return policy like with Bestbuy with the $50 dollar plus membership or whatever it’s called? I think I remember you buying some Strix G18 4080 machine and keeping it for a while, then returning it. Wasn’t that the one that had coil whine? Also, are you done with laptops as well?

I knew you’d like that lol. Seriously, I do actually like it. It’s just really expensive. If I had a laptop with a 4090 or 5090 in it I’d use it absolutely. I’d just rather pay much less.

Thanks! I’m going to look in to that machine. Something about the MSI Titan GT77 and Titan 18 HX really just does it for me though, especially the new up coming MSI Titan 18 with that dragon paint on it, man call me cheesy, but that machine is gorgeous to me for some reason. I really like MSI products. lol. Tuning aside, the big Titan laptops just look purely awesome. I’d feel better paying like 3K for it though seeing how it’s a last gen 4090 machine lol. At this rate of how long it takes to get a desktop 5090 GPU, I’ll be able to just pay scalper prices for one with the money I keep saving😂 (Kidding I’d never do that) I have been looking at laptops lately, I like the Scar 18 as well, but those prices are just wild. Asus has bumped their 5090 machines to 4K and 4200+ prices I think 😬 I almost feel like if I’m spending this much on a GPU only, I could splurge a little and just go for a whole 5090 laptop. Not nearly as fast as a 5090 desktop, but I already have a 4090 after all. So I’m considering a high end laptop to play with.

With the prices today it makes overpriced gaming laptops look appealing. This one looks nice. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176822823409?_skw=msi+titan+18+hx&itmmeta=01JKF9MMP55CTQ83GY83B2H7TK&hash=item292b7629f1:g:9zIAAOSw5ABnR9yc&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKk1ZAuWDIokhf89LFusRENAsWuCdq2OuDs9cXwuhkVZDXKkAjHaLVYIJf%2BXZHjz9Oljr%2Bq%2FxRtaea%2FHujhKu3FPDsUFas0XrVHzLKPpImS74BeqMJ46wBYOvdzyQjm%2F5peykJPTAGMRsbhzAnqFKPeHpEdlyaZTc6RfX2cxCGgAr5p9bY7BYqrVMaayzWn%2FT5ErOHl3aALqmJP%2BAniAoj%2FRfF1ygi%2F3vPbf3cCpAR0iNjsCFNRxhsFQLGurdv4wgTX6G0IvJ0i%2BbdvrVVxIh8VoEqyPaJNEOrG8qLx2i2ztQQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4bM0umbZQ

Over $6,000! Ouch too rich for me! 🤕 I’d consider this combo though 😃 comes with a nice OLED monitor too! picture url

It’s easy to snatch a 5080 on Newegg. Bots don’t want those lol. let’s you add to cart and everything.

They should have just called it the RTX 5090 Limited Edition. That way, everyone would just be like damn yeah it’s super limited lol.

I keep getting reeled in to the 5090 HUNT lol..I think I am done with trying to get one. I am wasting too much time on this. Just days in and out searching and refreshing and waiting lol. And then right when you think you got it, bots roll in and they crash a website completely. 🤣 This is literally the scummiest thing I have ever seen. Nvidia should move out of the doorway, and let some other company walk through and take things over. Because they just stand there and do nothing. This has been a legit paper launch. These new ways of GPU buying are ridiculous.

It feels like Newegg is a gimmick. All of their URLS are pre-loaded for bot ready. Once something pops in stock it’s bought and sold out. The MSI Store is probably the better option I think. MSI store forces a captcha after like 15 minutes idle preventing bots. Unlike Newegg they just let people have a free for all. I feel like I’ve lost my enthusiasm for the 5090 lol.

Kingdom Come Deliverance II is fantastic!!! It’s a game I just dump hours in. The 4090 averages like 90fps with DLSS Quality+4K. It’s a smooth runner. It’s a pure raster game, but still needs a strong GPU for 4K experimental settings. Probably one of the best first person RPG games ever made I think. They learned a lot keep the fundamentals all the same, improving graphics a little, but the main thing is how well it’s optimized. A game where the GPU usage actually locks at 99% no matter the situation, at all times. I don’t know how they made it run so good. Because the first one from 7 years ago can’t even run this good. Still trying to find a 5090 if possible. These new prices are terrible though.

Daily routine: (1) Wake-up (2) Open browsers for Newegg, Bestbuy, B&H, MSI store, ZOTAC Store, and Nvidia store. (3) Hit refresh until “Add to cart” appears. 🥴

They are some tricksters. Newegg did something like this to me yesterday lol. I thought I actually had one for a minute there!

No love for the PS5 Pro? They look pretty good to me. But I haven’t owned a Sony since I was 12 years old, and that was a PS2 and GTA 3. I’ll never forget saving up the money to buy GTA3 at Toy’s R US, all they had was a used copy and the game was literally broken. 😞 the disc was damaged and you could only play to the part of “My hands are all Messed up so you better you drive brotha” 😂

Well, we’ll be playing KDC2 at least lol. Maybe I’ll pick up a PS5 Pro to play GTA 6. Or maybe I will grab a PS8 by the time this game actually launches😂

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 launches tomorrow everyone!!!!! I have been waiting 7 years for this one. I just read a performance review of the game completely maxed out, and let’s just say the RTX4090 is strong to the BONE 💪 (I only saw a 4080 Super in the performance review, but based on what that thing does with no scaling and no frame gen, running 4K experimental graphics detail, the 4090 will CRUSH this title in 4K 😃 I figured this would be the case. This was really the main reason why I wanted a 5090 first and foremost and for future titles like GTA 6. But now I really kind of don’t care too much lol. The 4090 is still the ultimate in GPU power. I'm tempted to use some of my saved funds to finish my V3000+ case build and throw my 4090 on water cooling and just be done with the whole thing.

Did you win the lucky ticket? MSI sent out emails today at 1PM EST. 😁

Thank you so much!!! Greatly appreciated! 🙏

I was not able to get one. But I’m becoming more patient as each day goes by, I’ve gotten over being mad and now just accept it for what it is like @electrosoft. I spent all of 01/30 searching high and low, I looked a little on 01/31 but didn’t take it seriously knowing they were all gone at that point by bots and scalpers. But now I accept that it’s probably going to be March/April before I can probably get one possibly June to be able to easily buy one at MSRP. I feel like Nvidia could do so much better, and their blatant stupidness to ask gamers how their DLSS4 experience was is absolutely laughable.

Crazy that we have to win to even be able to buy a 5090 at all lol. Man, the brain washing goes kinda deep. I see some manufactures replacing their “Out of Stock” button with a “Enter Drawing” lol. I would be over the moon to win such a prize 😂 “I’m being completely serious”

The reason why Newegg has all of these 3090's and 4090's is because they are heavily pushing the Newegg Trade-in program. Offering people $1,350 dollars for any working RTX4090 is not a bad deal. Newegg then turns around and sells these as "Refurbished" for $1,599-$1,799 range depending on the model. This is a way to feel the void for those that never had a 4090, and after nearly 3 years they can own one for MSRP! 🤣 It really feels like the 5090 was not ready at all to launch. Nvidia should have just waited until March. I do not know why they are so desperate to release a product that is not even real. I thought it was funny that they posted on Reddit asking gamers "How their DLSS4 gaming experience was?" when no one actually had a GPU 🤣 AMD waited on the 9070XT, and I think I can see why now. Maybe they are making a ton of them so everyone can buy one.

You can see in HWinfo what the effective clock is. I’ll see what it is tomorrow. I remember checking my 3090 for clock stretching, and it was always so small. Card may say 2,715 and it’s effective is really 2,670 or something like that. VS running 1.100V and it says its running 2,715, and the effective is 2,700.
