You could get the Aorus Xtreme Waterforce that comes with the block already.Still no viable waterblocks for the 5090. I'll just wait. Maybe in a month or two

Yeah… I might be saying fukk Asus this gen. Gonna have to give MSI a look. They are fukkin’ buggin’!
ASUS reveals launch pricing for GeForce RTX 5090/5080, up to $3,099 for 5090 ROG ASTRAL LC - VideoCardz.com
ASUS ROG Astral at 40-50% higher price ASUS is the only board partner with an official update on which models will be available and at what price. Of course, ASUS is revealing suggested retail prices, but retailers may impose their own margins. Typically, this isn’t an issue immediately at...videocardz.com
Them top two Astrals independently cost more than my entire 13900k/4090 rig
I just read some reviews. It looks like the benchmarks are similar for certain things. I need to do more investigating though. The 5080 doesn't seem like the card to get if you are trying to upgrade from the 4090. The 5090 is king. I'll go with that, if not for the new DLSS options. I'm running a 4kX2 monitor. I need that extra power. Still, I don't think it will give me what I want. I think 1440pX2 is the way to go. I still have my 1440pX2 OLED monitor collecting dust in my spare room. It looks better overall, but the 4Kx2 is bigger. I want that full immersion. If I'm playing a game, I want the best possible setup. I dunno if I can go back to the smaller 1440pX2. I used to game in 3 monitors. It was this shyt. It was amazing. The 4kx2 is the closest thing out, and no bezels to worry about.
I really just want the best. I even bought all of those body suits and tactile shyt just to play Half-Life Alyx, and it was the shyt. I had on the vest, the arm bands. It was an amazing experience. My problem is I want the best, and I want it now. the 5090 seems like something I should buy. I'll wait for the waterblocks. I'll likely buy it, but I wonder if it will do 4kX2, with all the frame generation and DLSS4. We shall see. I remain skeptical. Once these "Real" 5090s hit ebay, I'm buying one. Right now it's nothing but scammers. Maybe I'll get lucky on a drop. Still, the waterblocks need to come out. That gigabytet might be the best bet

Wasn't able to get a 5080 today. Ain't no telling when they'll be in stock again.
Breh, this market is crazier than the housing market. It's insane
Last time I gave the Arcadium community a free 4090, I got screwed. I tried to do a good deed, but that motherfukker (can't remember his name) just sold that shyt on ebay most likely. I even gave him an i9 CPU for free too. Doing good deeds is not worth it. I'm just gonna put that shyt on ebay and see what I can get.
It doesn't really matter though. I'm just gonna throw money at the issue and hope it results in a good pc.
Don't know why you didn't give it to me. Dude didn't even post in Arcaduim like that and I was in second place
Man Imma keep it moving with my 4080 for the next several years.
2k for 10-20% increase in performance

I thought a raffle was the most fair way to do it. Apparently, that was not the case. I shoulda just gave it to you. Sorry, brehDon't know why you didn't give it to me. Dude didn't even post in Arcaduim like that and I was in second place
I think I'm aiming to get that Gigabyte 5090 with the waterblock already installed. It would make things a little easier for me. Still I wonder if it would be a cool as the ekwb waterblocks with the active backplate water cooling (which they have with the 4090s, and I assume upcoming 5090s)? I'll wait on some reviews.

Just bought a 4080m laptop. Didn't think I'd ever buy a gaming laptop but my current situation finally calls for one...
...It's incredible the type of performance you can get out of this form factor nowadays..and this ain't even a full-powered 4080
With my 3090 on ice for a while, and using this, I can probably hold off until the 6000 series
And I didn't think these MFs could take advantage of the 240hz screen in them... but they can do that too

I might wait on the 5090 and get a 4090 PC or gaming laptop on a good deal.
