Which 5090 are you looking to get? How far away is your closest Microcenter?
I'm trying to get that waterblock shyt. I'll even go for a FE and get a waterblock from EK or something. I don't even know if it's worth it. This shyt is crazy. I'm not spending $5k or $6k for a GPU. That's just too extreme. shyt is crazy. They don't even have the GPU I want on ebay. I don't know how to buy it. There's no way. They don't even have it for sale on resellers. And the price keeps going up and up and they have no stock. This shyt is out of hand. I'm done with it for the time being. Maybe in a few months I can get one, but right now, shyt is crazy. shyt is absurd. You can't even buy this shyt on ebay. Plus, I'm seeing people paying $5k or $6k for a 5090. This shyt is absurd. I'm done with this shyt for a few months. PC gaming is getting too fukked up. I can sell my unopened 4090 for more than I paid for it. What's going on? How hard is it to get a fukking GPU? These scalpers are the worst people ever. fukk them.
I'm done with this shyt. I might just buy a water cooled pre-built. The company I wanted to buy from no longer exists, which is a problem, but at least I can get the latest GPU for a reasonable price. This shyt is too fukked up. This shyt is unreasonable. I'm done with it. I'll come back in a few months, but until then, fukk them. This shyt is terrible. Just release more GPUs. Just release them.

The Aorus Waterblock cards only came available last week. A lot of models are late to market because of the shortages. Unfortunately Gigabyte doesn’t sell direct so you have to go through Newegg or Amazon. Amazon is a waste of time because of all the bots. You can possibly cop from Newegg but they’re only selling shyt in bundles. The card you want is currently being bundled with a motherboard for a little over $3k. Here’s the link:

Set up an auto notify alert and be ready to cop whenever they restock.

So after much thinking, i decided to keep my 4090 and not sell it off. Gonna toss my i7-14700k in the bushes and cop AMDs 7800X3D(better single cores for gaming), new case, new fans, new motherboard(obviously), and new AIO cpu cooler. This ought of fix my yearly upgrade craving for a while.

I gotta upgrade my MOBO man…can’t go beyond AMD4 CPU’s 
I’m pretty much maxed out as is and it’s fine for all the games I’ve been playing but I’m on the clock

Have you done a 4k gaming comparison between the 14700K and the 7800X3D? You might be wasting your money.

Only game that i play that relies more on the cpu then gpu is warzone. So i should be good there as most games are gpu reliant. Plus the 14700k is more work station related where 7800x3d thrives better for gaming.

Let Apple stumble into a perfect-storm situation where their in-house chips are suddenly in demand for AI development at 20k a pop...watch and see how fast their other business gets de-prioritized. Personal computing isn't the focus for Nvidia at this point, inflated scalper prices or not. They could scalp their own product and not make the same profit.

Apple sells a shyt ton more of iPhones, iPads, and Macs that uses Apple's own arm chips than Nvidia sells GPUs total. They're really good a forecasting their sales, that's why they don't run into serious supply issues.
About to pull the trigger and pre order the new 5090 MSI so that I'll have something when I'm on the go.
Made the mistake of getting a 4050 a couple of years ago and couldn't run Indiana Jones beyond low settings. Cut it off as soon as I saw that shrubbery.
I'm future proofing this go 'round.

I'm checking Reddit and the Microcenter discord....people are really camping for a damn mid-tier AMD card 
Considering it's price and performance, it's a solid card but not worth camping for

Well my AMD build comes in tomorrow. Kind of nervous because the last time i used an AMD motherboard/build, i had bad experiences before going strictly intel build. The cpu was great (fx 8 series) but the motherboards always had problems from bios to audio issues. This was back in 2012 so hopefully they got their shyt together
I believe they have ironed out the issues since then.
I just got a 9070 XT, it was a damn layup, no camping necessary
That said, now I need to move my 4070 Super and my 3060 ti. If anyone is interested in either, let me know.
