The good old days when top of the line gpu were $500. I bought 2 gtx580 for SLI lol

[u/TrainDatZombie]

Buy the RTX 5080 while we still can boys these AI bros not like us

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990 → u/TrainDatZombie]

or just wait the RTX 5080 Super to drop

[u/TrainDatZombie → u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990]

Good luck with Ai scalpers I wouldn’t take a chance and I heard no New GPUs are dropping tech bros are talking about how silicon supply is about to get worse for 27’-28’ wouldn’t count on it

[u/Perfect-Cause-6943 → u/TrainDatZombie]

dude I bought mine openbox last year bless Microcenter

[u/TrainDatZombie → u/Perfect-Cause-6943]

I regret buying a RTX 4080 instead of a 5090 but I wasn’t keeping up with the market much then even my 4080 is worth more 😂

[u/hawkdeathpaw]

who the fuck would buy one of these for 10 grand its stuiped

[u/Sashreek73 → u/hawkdeathpaw]

People with FU money

[u/Soleks2000 → u/hawkdeathpaw]

that one person that has to play CS in 1000 fps

[u/ThankGodImBipolar → u/Soleks2000]

Can Nvidia cards even hit 1000 FPS in CS? 😂

[u/Soleks2000 → u/ThankGodImBipolar]

I have no idea. I was just throwing out a ridiculous number that I thought of 5090 would be able to do.

[u/Striking-County6275]

I was gonna be able to afford one in 3 years :( 

[u/Vegetable_Safety]

It was a wrap at least 3 years ago

[u/DrPhilSideSkirts]

There are hundreds available here in Norway.

But hey, they haven't really been "available" for most people for ages anyway.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990]

I'd much rather just wait for the RTX 5080 Super (24GB) to come out than buy a 5090.

[u/species__8472__ → u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990]

There are used 4090s going for $3k right now. A brand new 24gb 5080 would easily approach that price.

[u/Better-Beat-8062]

As a 5080 owner its great that i can say "i got the best GPU a money can buy"

[u/Perfect-Cause-6943 → u/Better-Beat-8062]

great card honestly best money I spent

[u/FeelingPrize67]

[u/PalamariVarkari]

Oh noooo I just had 8k saved to get one!

[u/uptheirons726 → u/PalamariVarkari]

NewEgg still has them if you still want to be an absolute moron with your money!

[u/CorruptDictator]

I have to think a lot of retailers do not see much reason to even stock them anymore since the demand from regular consumers at the current price point has to be pretty low.

[u/rolandguy85]

I might try and grab one of those 24gb 5080s when they drop and just stop buying any upgrades for like 8yrs

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990 → u/rolandguy85]

The RTX 4090 is always an option as well

[u/rolandguy85 → u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990]

100%, I have a 9070xt desktop rig now and it’s great. But a 24gb 5080 would be way more future proof. But I will say 9060xt 16gb, 16gb ddr5, and a 9600x is the best value desktop rig you can get right now as far as I’m concerned if you’re building.

[u/Motor_Perception_648]

No one is buying a 5090 as a gamer. 

[u/thatkidwithagun → u/Motor_Perception_648]

No one is should buying a 5090 as a gamer.

FTFY. But the sad truth is that people will spend all sorts of money if they have it and just want the "best". Just ask my friend who had a 4090, then bought a 5090 only 8 months later for more than double what he paid for his 4090. No hate at all, but the value proposition of these cards make no sense if all you do is play video games.

[u/Valkanith → u/thatkidwithagun]

That’s the definition of somebody just trying to impress people with buying the latest and greatest has nothing to do with using a computer “look at me everyone I have 5090 now after selling my 4090 am I cool now?”

[u/thatkidwithagun → u/Valkanith]

Here's the funny bit about that; His 4090 is sitting in his closet, he won't even sell it.

[u/SteepStep → u/thatkidwithagun]

I don’t blame him. Might as well sit on it like gold if the value just keeps going up.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990 → u/thatkidwithagun]

Why would he not want to sell his 4090 and make back the money that he spent on it?

[u/12amoore → u/Motor_Perception_648]

Pleb poor comment tbh. These types of comments are such a brain dead sheep like comment shouting the same shit they saw someone else post. People 1000% buy these for gaming GPU’s. It’s literally a much better card than a 5080 for more FPS, plain and simple

[u/Valkanith → u/12amoore]

But why is this “gaming card” freaking going up to $8000, might even go past $10,000 ffs just tells how awful the market is

[u/12amoore → u/Valkanith]

We get the market is awful no one is saying otherwise! But to say it’s not a gaming card when it was marketed to gamers is pure cope. Can it be used as a workstation card? Yeah sure

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990 → u/12amoore]

The 5090 is not a consumer gaming card bud, it's a workstation and computing card. You want to know who is actually going to benefit the most from a 5090? Video editors, 3D artists, and data scientists. Not gamers. Stop with this elitist mindset that a 5090 is apparently needed for gaming, it's not. It's completely overkill and everyone knows that.

[u/12amoore → u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990]

Marketed to gamers when it released bud. It literally is for gaming lmfao. No one said it is absolutely needed for gaming. But saying it isn’t needed for gaming is flat out incorrect too.

[u/Valkanith → u/12amoore]

If you only buy it for gaming then that is a stupid decision unless you’re filthy rich and made out of money

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990 → u/12amoore]

Doesn't matter. People who are running demanding workstations are going to benefit from a 5090 WAY MORE than gamers ever will. Simple as that. 32GB of VRAM is not needed for gaming, that kind of memory is needed for 3D work and 8K video editing. I don't know where you are getting this idea that a 5090 is needed for gaming, but you need to stop spreading that idea around. It's complete bullshit and you know it, you just don't want to admit it.

[u/12amoore → u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990]

Ah yes I care so much about my thought process for a redditor. What’s really simple is calling a spade a spade and acknowledging the 5090 can absolutely be used and can be needed in demanding games and settings. To say it’s not needed is cope. Simple as that

[u/hawkdeathpaw → u/Motor_Perception_648]

its all ai garbage who cares about your stuiped ai model

[u/EmpatheticRock → u/Motor_Perception_648]

I am a gamer and have 2. Kind of a stupid statement you made

[u/Motor_Perception_648 → u/EmpatheticRock]

Im talking about the average gamer. Not one in a million.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990 → u/EmpatheticRock]

Good for you, do you want a cookie for wasting money on 2 5090s that you don't need? The 5090 is not a consumer gaming card, it's a workstation and computing card. Do you know who actually needs a 5090? 3D artists, video editors, and data scientists. Not gamers.

[u/EmpatheticRock → u/Puzzleheaded_Dig8990]

You sound poor

[u/Mr_CJ_]

The new GPUs are coming late next year.
