I was in Queue for 5090 FE 4 or 5 times. I have actually just set up a best Buy bot as of typing this with Auto Verification and Auto Buy. So, I am hoping I can just sit back and buy one now at this point. There was like 3 different drops I think. I saw the 5090 sell out, and come back in a few times. We are contending with scalpers 97%, and 3% people who want a 5090 to own and use. All of these cards just go right on eBay after someone buys one. Pretty sad.

Yeah Best Buy is a joke. I got in line like 5 times, one time I sat in line for 10 minutes or more and I felt like I was going to get it only to be let down. Also ,MSI is INSANE! PS: All of the best buy 5090's and 5080's that were sold today are all on eBay already being scalped.

BestBuy had a drop of 5090's and 5080's I got in line twice. It was a swing and a miss both times. This is ridiculous...

We’re screwed lol. This reminds me of the 3080 selling for $1200 or so. Now it’s just a tier below in GPU class. Give it a few more years, for the “Ultimate Nvidia Dream” #1“Gaming is a high end luxury for the wealthy Per Nvidia” #2 RTX 5060= $699 USD #3 RTX 5070= $899 USD #4 RTX 5070Ti= $1200 USD #5 RTX 5080= $2000+ USD #6 RTX 5090= $4500 USD I hope everything goes well and happy recovery Brenner!

It’s the mild after effects of brain washing is all. I’ve been dreaming of getting my hands on a 5090 Aorus Extreme WB. So when I see the replica version as a 5080 Aorus Extreme WB in-stock. I’m like, I can buy this card and complete my build! lol. But then I started to actually think about it 😂 and was like, ummm yeah no.. I’ll get a 5090 eventually. Though this stock issue is a distraction sometimes.

I think you’re right! This will probably be the only way to go. We’ve got to resort to last gen left overs.

I think Nvidia is making the same amount of GPU’s on launch that they always did. And maybe that’s the issue. And just Nowadays there’s a world full of PC gamers/Streamers/scalpers that we must contend with, and they’ve never really increased that demand. I never would have dreamed a graphics card would become so popular. I almost bought a Aorus RTX 5080 Waterforce WB model with the waterblock. It was $1,509+ tax. But I hesitated and it sold out. I didn’t feel right paying 4090 prices for something that’s not a 4090 at all lol. Less VRAM, and less speed.

We are all gonna be buying xx70Ti cards in the near future. Nvidia is slowly making the “High End Flag Ship GPU” so expensive that only the rich will be able to buy such a lavish graphics card. Scalpers gladly pay $5,000+ for the 5090 already. And this pushes the mid range GPU’s to $1,000+ range easily. So, in the next 4-5 years, I can see the 6090 or even 7090 ranging from $8,000 to $10,000 plus. This will put it out of reach for 99%. And these high end systems will begin to be only for those with high end wallets. I cannot afford a Ferrari, and I cannot afford a 6090 either, so I’ll probably be buying a 6070 for $1800. In all honesty, I was thinking about making some T-Shirts and putting the words “Stop the abuse” with a cancel sign over Nvidia. Because we are literally headed down a path where there is no Return. They’ll be Nvidia dealerships soon where we walk in and put down 20% now and finance the rest for 5-6 years, maybe they sell us a warranty in the finance office since Nvidia builds such shabby products anyways 😂 But yeah, the 4090/5090 will probably be the last hoorah for the avg man.

Very nice GPU! You were so fortunate to have been able to get one congratulations. Did you notice the MSI US Store site always crashes when there’s a lot of activity?

But I’m just using a single Gen 5 cable though, it’s not like yours. Pretty sure @Papusan thinks my GPU will cook.

So, my 4090 is gonna catch fire? I’m just using my stock PSU cable.

That looks like an aftermarket cable to me. I wonder how they are even plugging that cable in to their PSU at all! Its literally shorter than the 5090 is long 😆 Maybe they have an extension or dongle situation going on. @Papusan I genuinely have never had any problems when using a Gen 5 PSU though. I’ve seen my card sustain 670W in Metro Exodus. I just cannot fault it, it has been perfect. I use the dinkiest cable of them all. lol.😂 Before this, I did use a 4x8 dongle. But I hated that thing, it was hideous. It Did not cause any problems either though.

Man, I don’t see the problem with it, even with no fans just open test bench and 666w bios. I have my cable bent slightly and it works wonderfully. It’s yellow on the plug portion so you know it’s plugged in all the way. It just works. Ran this with both 4080 Super’s and this 4090.

You may have misread my post. I use this cable Gen5 to Gen5, no dongles, one cable. Never had any issues with my 666 watt bios since June of 2024 on my 4090 I run that dinky MSI 1000 watt Gen 5 PSU. It doesn’t even get warm. Corsair on the other hand, uses a retro fit dongle which is 2x8 pin to 1x Gen 5. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I’m mistaken here. But I would rather have the single Gen 5 cable like the first picture.

I think a lot of the Corsair units were sold as 2x8 Pin on the PSU side that went to 12 pin GPU cable. So, technically it’s not a real Gen 5 cable on both ends, if that’s what he was talking about. I personally think just a single Gen 5 cable on both ends will work well. No adapters, no 8 pins.

THANK YOU LORD!! This is a blessing in disguise. Maybe scalpers will stop buying them now, and demand will fall. In other news! I got me two of these bad boys! 480 GTX and a 480 GTR, one left to go! 😁for a triple white 480 setup.

Hey that’s a pretty good deal. Sold out unfortunately though. I may do that. I really just wanted something fun to play with is all. Laptops are cool because they are all contained in nice quality feature filled package that’s portable. They look cool, feel cool, and I find them interesting. But, being completely honest I’m just window shopping and browsing around until I can actually snag a 5090 GPU when they come in stock lol. Highly unlikely you’ll see me buying a gaming laptop, unless it was an amazing deal. And I’m just not seeing that. I love the MSI TITAN laptops, but they are so overpriced. Something about their heft and looks is very appealing to me. Not really sure why, I just like them. It’s almost like I need to get it out of my system lol. I went through a phase a while back of wanting a GT77 Titan really bad.

Yeah I really don’t want to pay a fortune on some last gen stuff. Though I admit RTX 4000 series still feels like current gen lol. 😂 That’s never happened to me before.

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.
