238 * 10 * 2 + 238 = 4998. Math checks out.

I read that on the German FE-Partner, the API to buy the FEs was already up at 14:20 (40 minutes before official sale) and they were all already scalped by 14:30.
Honestly, I feel like there should be a law that forces webshops to at least try to have an anti-bot protection mechanism.

So you were wrong from the start and the dude who asked you the question in the first place was right.
The point was "you don't need overpriced tools to play the games you like" and "there is no game you can buy today that justify buying this overpriced gpu".
My comparison aimed at showing you that, if you cannot understand it i won't loose sleep over it.

Has it actually shipped? Id be nervous about cancellation
Yes he said you dont need 50 series to play games. And i didnt disagree. I said the reason people buy it is not so they can play games they otherwise couldnt. It's to improve the experience. Just like buying cutlery is to improve the experience of eating over eating with your hands.
You assumed i was telling him he was wrong, when i was only telling him that that wasn't the reason for buying the cards. And you agree, since there aren't any games that require a 50 series, any possible reason anyone will have for buying one is not gonna be that.

Tried. Got nervous when I was in que and then relieved and pissed when they kicked me out. Maybe I should try for a 6090 mid cycle.

Nope, it's not shipped. They said they'll get six cards, and that I managed to buy one of those. And they say it's ready for pick up at the store 13th february. Kinda makes sense since MSI confirmed that their cards were delayed until 6th february?
So i'll just keep my fingers crossed ..
I got a order confirmation a few seconds after the order was done, and I got the invoice a little while after ordering, which should be a good sign.

I’m stuck with my Legion Go and Xbox Series S until my 5090 arrives at the end of February… going to be a long month.
Time to play some older games I’ve missed out on.

I paid £1939 for the 5090 Founders Edition. The 4090 Founders was £1699.
All the AIB models were at least £100-£200 more expensive

It is here in all of its splendor. It's still massive, but much thinner than the 4090. Also, the new box is cool and good for the environment, but the 4090 really screamed POWER at you.

Today Best Buy Canada opened the backorder for most of their 5080 and 5090 cards. it didn't last a minute of course. but thankfully I was able to order 2 cards
MSI Vanguard 5090 and Astral.
Weird they didn't have a policy of 1 card per customer. But anyway. I'll watch reviews for both cards when the time comes and just return/sell the second one. As long as the box is still sealed I have 30 days return policy anyway.
But I was glad I was able to get something. if tariffs really hit, we will never see these prices ever again.

Debauer tested one and tweaked the fan curves and got it much quieter than the FE with significantly lower memory temperatures. Otherwise the stock 'silent' profile and performance ones are pretty bad.

Worse OcUK and some other outlets are flat out scalping themselves. Currys had pretty normal prices but stock was swept up almost immediately by bots.
Good catch on the FE. One of the best cards and actually reasonable price for a flagship.

what really ? super weird coming from Asus.
would like to see reviews and comparisons. if that's the case I might just cancel my astral card and keep the Vanguard. ( the 5080 Vanguard review was super silent and chill ).
I am going to enjoy this weekend watching reviews woot

Curious to hear your thoughts on if the coil whine is as bad as some reviewers mentioned

I only checked Scan and they had cards from £2100 to £3000+, I didn't see anything at the same price as the FE.
I find the 5080 prices even more ridiculous though. Hard to justify if you're getting closer and closer to a 5090.

Jensen got y'all in the a chokehold!
It'll get better eventually, however. Give it a cool 6 months.

I have watched this review that is for the 5090. He said it’s cool and quiet. Under heavy load the temps don’t cross 66 even memory temps. That’s fucking impressive for a 5090.

This was my 1st choice, but I couldn't get one. I hope the Gaming Trio version that I managed to get is somewhere close in temps/noise.

If you can manage to get the Vanguard, its very impressive card. the Trio X is ok .. its not a ventus thank god. but its not great either.
Vanguard though is impressive. even Steve from hardware unboxed was impressed with it when he reviewed the 5080. with 15% increase over the FE with less noise and heat.

The Vanguard was not even listed for sale here. Only Suprim and Gaming Trio.
I'm just happy I managed to order a 5090.

I only tested it quickly after installing it. Case open next to me, it's definitely noticeable but not loud. Definitely wasn't there with the 4090 and 3080 FE. I don't think I'll hear it with the case closed, but I need to do some more testing.

newegg pulled some sketchy shit last night where they clearly limited selling their stock to force people to buy bundles but they were all only 5080 bundles. i got to the point where i had a bundle in my cart a few times just to test it but i need the 32gb so not interested in the 5080

Yes i posted this video in the review thread. basically unless they release a firmware to lower fan speed to be minimum speed all the time, all you have to do is unplug the fan connector. luckily you dont have to open the card to do that. but doing so not only your db will go as low as 38 compared to 40s for every other card in the market, you will also not gain any increase in temperature either.

I received my card today. I'm going to return it because these 5080 cards are frankly dogshit.
This card is only about 2.3x faster than my 6 year old 2080 Ti yet it cost 20% more than that in my local currency. That's not to mention the 16GB of memory which will 100% become an issue in the next 2-3 years and I've already seen some signs of it. And I'm not using a 4k monitor but a 3440x1440 one.
This a repeat of the 8GB RTX 3070 that nvidia swore up and down wouldn't be an issue. It only took 2-3 years and the same is going to happen with these cards. Only they don't cost $500 but up to $1300+.
I'm offloading this trash and getting something for half the price. Hopefully a 4070 Ti Super.

What's games are you unable to play with the 6 year old 20 series? The answer is 0 but doesn't mean you won't have a better experience with the 30, 40 and 50 series.

A 5080 was worth the buy if they had used a 384bit bus and 24GB of VRAM. The way it is now, definitely not worth it. I'd wait some months for nvidia to fill the enormous gap between 5080 and 5090.

Yap, the only to "fix" this, is for nvidia to feel generous or forced by their DC partners because 4nm is too hot, and move to 3nm, shrink the GB202 die from 750mm -> 580mm, which is a bit smaller than Ada.
Then sell the castrated GB202v2 as 5080Ti 24GB with 384bit.... in 18 months time!
Knowing Jensen, he will sell the 256bit using 3Gb nand.
Then another 30 months later, we have Rubin 3nm and repeat the same shit.
Amd is shit.

Yeah, the current humongous die size doesn't help, it's such a small upgrade compared to the 4xxx series. And on top more consumptions and more heat due to that. Never been less excited for a GPU launch in many years. But they've nailed it on the software side at least, thanks to the new upscaling models.
The 5080 definitely reminds me of the "unlaunched" 12GB 4080 from a couple of years ago.

The comparison with the RTX3070 is very bad. This card was released at the same time as the PS5 and had less VRAM than that console. It was a recipe for catastrophe
. The RTX3070 was VRAM limited from day zero.The RTX5080 should have more than 16GB's considering it's price (VRAM is relatively cheap), because when PS6 ports start releasing on PC even 16GB may be not enough to match the PS6 settings, but right now 16GB VRAM is still plenty. Most games use between 9-12GB VRAM even at 4K. There are very few PT games that can alocate more than 16GB VRAM (PT increase VRAM a lot) at 4K native, but not even the RTX5090 with 32GB VRAM has the power to run Cyberpunk or Indiana Jones with PT at 4K native with 60fps. You need to use DLSS in these extremely demanding PT games regardless of what GPU you have and then even 16GB VRAM is enough.
With the recent uptade to Alan Wake 2 mega geometry decreased VRAM allocation by about 1.5GB. I see around 11-12GB VRAM allocation (and that's not even usage) at 4K DLSS balance with PT, but let's pretend that 16GB VRAM is a real problem.
