If the RTX 5090 is $2299, you still buying one?

Topic. USA dollars.

Assuming they will be actually readily available on shelves by the dozens this time, how crazy will you go for 35-50% faster than a 4090?

I have a 4090 and a 5090 won't give me better performance as I already run all graphics settings at max, so personally I have no use for it.

I'm still amazed I paid $900 for a 3080. I can't fathom paying $2000+ for a video card when mine is perfectly good.

No

[Maxis]

For my 1440p Ultrawide based setup? Nope.. I like to have spare power to ramp up the render scaling a bit but even with that in mind todays 4080 super  should suit the current and upcoming sim just fine.

For me ill take a look at a priced reduced 4080 super if im going Nvidias way.

[RobJC]

Nope. 

[stans]

A firm "no" for me.

Convert that to retail price in Australian dollars and it would likely be somewhere north of 4000 AUD - so that would be a no.  But as the 4080 and the 4090 are allegedly being discontinued anyone in the market for a high end GPU may have no choice shortly.

negative.  If my 4090 is still alive in a couple years it will probably make it to my new build.

Not in a million years! A joke!

The cryptocurrency miners were desperate enough to still snap up cards at those prices, but I don't know if today's market could sustain that.

Price listing leak I saw showed $2000-$2500 for the nVidia units … other vendors likely to be $2700-$3000.   I hope they make it to market before the new US Administration imposes 100% tariff on Asian imports as that will double (or more) the price for US buyers.

$2000 to $3000 for a video card?  Guess when my current computer dies, I'm out of the flight sim world.

[Sethos]

Nah, my 4090 was already pushing it and I barely felt I've let it stretch its legs. Don't want to keep rewarding Nvidia for their pricing structure.

AMD have been down playing their 8000 series next gen GPUs.  But, I’ve seen some discussion that the AMD 8000 series GPUs can be setup as crossfire without any additional support from software vendors (games/sims).  Further rumors the AMD 8000 series in crossfire configuration will be $1400 and out perform a single 5090 by a considerable margin.

Of course these AMD GPU rumors are complied from multiple sources and some from Gamer Meld who is very “pro” AMD, so take it with some salt.  So if one is in the market for a new AMD 870e MB, take into account that “Crossfire” might return and you’ll need two fast 16xPCIe slots (at the cost of giving up Gen5 M.2 slot).

But nVidia retaining the existing power connector that has caused so many fires and GPU failures raises a few question marks?  Why stick with a power connector designed that is flawed?
