    It should be DOA but it’ll still sell out for the next couple of months. Think my 3080 will need to last 2 more years unless there is a 5080 ti that uses cut down 5090 dies.

      I also have a 3080 and will try to snatch a 5090 tomorrow but I know I won’t be able to get one so yep, waiting for 6090 already pretty much.

        Being based in New Zealand, the XX90 cards come with a significant markup and are wholly unaffordable. They’re priced at about 8% of the median pre-tax salary. I built an entire premium sim rig for less than the cost of a 4090.

          What’s “wholly unaffordable” for you is not unaffordable for everyone. Not to mention business use where $2k is NBD.
