As all recent halo product releases recently have shown, these will not hit shelves for months, but instead will be sold to or given to people who have the right connections initially until they have had their fill. Then it will finally get to actual shelves where you and I normal people can acquire one without going through scalper pricing.

We'll probably be hearing about new prebuilts from Lenovo, HP, Corsair and Alienware. Those 4 will probably get first dibs on the new GPU's.

This isn't the halo card, though. That's the 5090. This is a (pretty big) step down and more the high-end than anything. Will there be decent quantities of this card at launch? Who knows. We will see when it comes out. I'm more interested in the actual price of this thing, since that will hint on the prices of the lower-end cards, too (and the 5090 I guess...). Seller listings pre-release can be very deceiving. They are often way higher than they actually are.

Make it cost $750 and I'll be interested.

I picked up my 4090 the first week they were released. Just gotta be vigilant in finding one.

I would say $900 is a fair asking price but if it performs equally to or even better than the 4090 in gaming I bet it will sell like hot cakes.

Rumor mill says $1400, we shall see.

Have seen anything from 1300 to 1800. The rumor mill is all over. I agree $1400 to $1500 is likely but if they kept it at 4080 pricing they would sell a whole lot better I think. edit: I am hoping for 4080 super pricing but it's just hard to tell on this. If this doesn't beat the 4080 super by a hell of a lot at $1400 it would be a very hard sell.

At the retail price or higher? Took me several months to find one trending in the $1599 retail price.

If it's $1000, I'll probably pick one up, otherwise, a 4070 TI for $800 will probably win (assuming a reasonable generational improvement).

Coming from a 3080, I need at least 16 GB of VRAM and I just can't bring myself to spend over a grand on a GPU.

 

[M0rtis]

From the recent leaks it also looks like the laptop versions of these cards will release concurrently or soon after rather than the usual ~year later. Probably because the 40 series laptop cards didnt get a Super refresh like the desktops did and Im assuming that laptop makers put some pressure on nVidia to release them sooner to boost stagnating sales

 

[giorgiog]

At the rumored prices, they can keep all of these cards. I can't crank all the settings up on my 10GB 3080 at 4k, but at this point the value in the 5000 series just isn't there.

When will we see reviews on these cards?

They can't answer that due to the NDA.

Recent generations point to the day before they go on sale.

$1400-1500 would be an extremely difficult sell for a 16GB card. It's rumored to perform like a 4090. $1500 would only be $100 below the 4090MSRP while having only 2/3's the VRAM. The 4080 comparatively did not sell well at $1200. The Super refresh launching at $1000 is an indication Nvidia was listening and/or wasn't happy with 4080 sales volume.

I fully agree and am hoping for something between the 4080 and 4080 super but the hype train is running hard and it makes me think they will crank the numbers. I think it makes no sense but we will see. Hoping for something closer to that super number because even though I find that number insane, it's not $1500 ridiculous.
