I see prices have exploded the last 4 days here home. 5090 start now at $4300 and upwards (MSRP). I have to pay $1600 more for my 5090 Astral than what I paid a few months ago. There is still no problem get 5090 cards but you have to pay a lot more for them. This is the real kicker from today's pricing here home... $1300 MSRP for Asus Prime 5070Ti. A real steal🤢 Then you have this... State of play: SSD pricing one year into the AI component crisis — 220% price increases are crippling the DIY market -

Hmmm. Bad deals become even worse. $1000-1200 USD is already awful for 5080. This is disgusting. The situation in some regions has become so bad that retailers are finding new ways to sell the hardware. Therefore, some retailers have started bundling the GPUs with other components. For instance, the popular Taiwanese retailer, Cool PC, has started to sell the NVIDIA RTX 5080 in bundles or through full PC builds. You can't purchase the RTX 5080 as a standalone product from the retailer at the moment. While this trend isn't seen in all regions, it can become a common trend in the near future. Taiwanese Retailer Restricts RTX 5080 To Bundles And PC Builds, As GPUs Witness Another Price Hike "Land of the free"......... The real truth. This?🤫 New Yorkers who want to view Instagram or TikTok after midnight will have to verify their age. Almost everyone uses social media now; it's so commonplace that everyone from the very young to the very old uses it. It's true that numerous measures have been put in place in several countries regarding teenagers and children, as they are... -

Then, why buy now as suggested here in the video? If people can't afford new cards forwards then none/or just fewer cards will be sold. Yup, something has to give. Crap tons of stock everywhere won't sit there forever. That's a very bad business model. We may see loads of GPU bundles with parts you don't want or need. Will GPU bundles with PSUs be the new king? NVIDIA Hikes Graphics Card Prices For The Third Time This Year And By Up To 30%, As Distributors Enter Panic Mode Some retailers who have adjusted their prices are predictably showing a sizable differential. For instance, the 16GB GDDR7 NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti graphics card is now retailing for 10,700 Yuan ($1,581) vs. its price of 9,299 Yuan ($1,374) last week, and 7,200 Yuan ($1,064) in November 2025. Edit @Reciever the forum is awful slow today. Started be like this yesterday. Hope it soon will be fixed 🙂 -

5090's at older prices seems as a great deal nowadays. Same as for the 4090's back then. And the 5080 will probably be equal bad deal as for the 4080's. Graphics card prices continue to rise in China due to the increased cost of GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory. The entire technology industry and companies of all kinds have poured their efforts, time, and money into artificial intelligence. This is not surprising, as artificial intelligence is a booming sector, relatively new in recent years, and with enormous potential... MSI warns: its GeForce RTX 50 series cards have already seen their price increase by up to 20% in China MSI and Colorful are among the first manufacturers to announce a widespread price increase in China for their GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. This price increase affects virtually the entire GeForce RTX 50 series family. This price increase was expected, as hardware prices across China have begun to rise. This clearly indicates that more hardware is being consumed in China and is now being delivered directly from the factory to consumers, meaning the price increases have already been passed on to the consumer. -

The 5090 is a beast compared to the second and the (3rd) last. -

Microsoft confirms every Windows PC is trackable and how it can lead to your arrest Microsoft has confirmed that Windows installations include what is called a Global Device ID (GDID), a persistent, unremovable identifier that links a user to a specific Windows installation. This so-called GDID was a revelation that emerged as a byproduct of Microsoft assisting authorities in catching a cybercriminal, as Microsoft provided the GDID to authorities to help identify a suspect.

HWiNFO adds RTX 50 hotspot temperature reporting, RTSS can display it too No Hot Spot for MSI Afterburner, but RTSS supports it MSI Afterburner developer Alexey “Unwinder” Nicolaychuk explained that he cannot add RTX 50 hotspot monitoring directly to Afterburner for legal and marketing reasons. MSI Afterburner is official NVIDIA partner-branded software, so its monitoring features must rely on sensors exposed through NVIDIA’s supported NVAPI interfaces. Due to some weird reasons NVIDIA still keeps VRAM/hotspot temperature monitoring interfaces for private internal NV software only, they are not open even to partners making NVIDIA bases graphics cards. Every single currently existing tool displaying VRAM/hotspot temperatgure on NVIDIA side rely on reverse engineered private NVAPI interfaces (or even direct GPU access in case of RTX 5000 cards), which doesn’t make green GPU vendor too happy. — Unwinder RTX 50 hotspot data is hidden from NVAPI and can only be accessed through direct GPU register reads, while earlier hotspot and VRAM readings used reverse-engineered private interfaces. Unwinder can demonstrate this access through his independent RivaTuner Statistics Server project, but he cannot include an unofficial implementation in MSI Afterburner unless NVIDIA adds the sensor to its public API. Unwider strongly suggests that someone create a plugin that would allow for easy unofficial support. -

I want it in GPU-Z. This is me from one of the very best days I have had the last two months. Today going out and eat (outside my preferred place). I don't know if I will be the same as before. It will take time. Loads of time before I will/start feel well with myself. I feel broken🙁 They say it takes at least a year before you can feel more confident. The first 3 months after the stroke is critical. After one year you can start feel safer and try come back to yourself. The progress goes slow but steady forwards. Thanks for asking my good friend🙂 -
