Question Who will have 5090's available Jan 30th and anyone taking "pre-orders"?

[V8VENOM]

Assume it will be the usual buy BOT approach.

I haven't found anyone taking "pre-orders" other than complete system builders like Origin and they don't have a 5090 AIO option.

Does anyone know who will be selling 5090 AIO solutions on Jan 30th? It looks like:

ASUS have an 5090 AIO solution but no "pre-order" option.
MSI 5090 AIO solution and their "where to buy option" just brings up a ASPX server error.

Anyone else with AIO 5090 ready?

Or, anyone selling a 5090 FE water block?

Rob.

Good question. It’s so early in the game I think something as hot as this won’t be easily found until early March. Hopefully someone can speak on best tactics to secure one on release.

 

[Math Geek]

like literally EVERY release EVER, they will sell out day 1 and be impossible to get except at triple the price from scalpers.

sign up for "let me know", check often and pray. maybe you'll get lucky.

otherwise sit back, wait and get one in a couple months when they are easier to get. or pay triple the price and have one right away.

Microcenter and Best Buy

Yeah, figure this will be another wait until March or April or May although I have been successful at first day buys before … but for the 5090, I don’t want one without a water block … not for a 575 watt part and I don’t want 2+ slot GPU with massive heat sinks and 4 fans.

Looks like late March for the AMD 5590X3D so timing wise, March/April makes more sense. But, still very curious about AMD 9070XT GPU … heard mixed reports of better than nVidia 4090 and 5080 but not as good as 5090 for ray tracing.

I’ll end up getting both eventually as AMD GPUs seem to produce better image quality … not sure why or if it’s just better HDMI/DP output circuits that are higher quality than nVidia?

There's just no way 9070XT is better than 4090.

RDNA4 GPUs, are not meant for high-end.

Besides, AMD themselves have confirmed they won't be making any high-end graphics cards for the foreseeable future.

Not sell out minute 1? Website won't response for 10 minutes and then OOS.

9070XT won't be anywhere near 4090. From all the leaks it seems to be somewhere between 4070Ti and 4080, which is still pretty darn good.

But ultimately this gen 5080 and 5090 in particular are the big guns here at least for this year, it seems.

Other than that, just give it a few months, no point getting skinned now jumping the gun AND you will have much better idea of what's what in reality with that time.

What about physical, in-store, inventory? Has anyone here ever had any luck just waiting in line before the store opens (like old school black friday sales)? I live near enough to several Microcenters and BestBuys. Do you know if they hold inventory for in-person shoppers, or will their whole inventory just sell out online as soon as they open the doors?

Interesting, have to wait and see what the actual reality is … lot’s “leaks” but nothing verifiable yet. For example, a leaked test shows the 5090 is only 15% faster than 4090 without DLSS.

I don’t use DLSS at 4K+ resolution as the image quality is not as good and I really don’t need anything above 60 FPS. Same for AMD, don’t use FSR … AI frames might be nice for those with lower end GPUs, but for me I can clearly detect a frame render that doesn’t match my input device motion. Certainly creative ways to “boost FPS” but I’m old school I guess …

You don't have to rely on leaks anymore.

As of today, we have the official Nvidia benchmarks: 5090 demonstrates a 33% performance increase over 4090:

"NVIDIA has disclosed..."

Lets wait for 3rd party tests.

I will.

In the meantime, i seriously doubt Nvidia would hesitate to disclose larger figures than those, if they had them on their disposal.

Sure, but like... if you have raw 33% more shaders and 80% more memory bandwidth over 4090, that is a number that makes sense.

It should be the very least 30% boost from the specs diff alone.

For whatever device...prelim manufacturers numbers are always suspect.

It may be right on, it may be...meh.

i agree with this its almost identical in specs to there 7800xt. i can see it maybe getting beyond a 4070 ti super.

7800xt was around a between a 4070 vs 4070 super thats if amd figuired out why the arctecture fell on its backside which seems to be a similar affair to bulldozer but in gpu form.

Spying that gigabyte waterforce or master … already having an AIO … thinking a proper closed loop system may make sense … with all this smoke. Haven’t seen any dates by AIBs?

 

[V8VENOM]

Trying to figure out if it will be faster to get a 5090 and then find a water block for it … or wait for a specific vendor (ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.) to provide AIO water cooling solution. I’m guessing the 5090 waterblocks will be available first (as in not immediately sold out) but for what card types?
