Hmm, I didn't bother to try and get the 5080 today as I spent the $1000 I was going to use to swap it for to switch back to the RX 7900XT and upgraded my CPU/MOBO and RAM to a Ryzen 5 9600X and 16GB DDR5. I was on the Ryzen 7 3700X and still was on DDR4. To be honest the 7900XT is a great card, I just only have bad performance with ray tracing in Cyberpunk and it's not even worth it in Wukong. Other games I get wonderful performance for the most part.

Tried to buy a 5080 via Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon. All them shyts sold out while I was in the checkout process.
It's a dirty game out here

I tried. Got it in my cart but got kicked out of the line. If anybody snagged an extra 5090 First Edition, I want it.

 

[Womb Raider]

I just want to build my pc man

Struck out on the 5080 fe on best buy. Browser took an L within 5 minutes. App was in line for 35 minutes and just gave up

You nikkas are competing with shopping bots that are set up to buy in bulk for second market resale. You gotta be real lucky to beat a bot by just clicking buttons on a webpage

 

[Ruck]

I should've asked @West Coast Avenger to use his bots for a cop my the 5080

This is such a dope build I had to share it here (it's not mine)

Apparently Spider-man 2 is a big mess on pc. Nixxes could never do wrong, but this might be the first time. I might just build my pc to try it. The whole spider-man 2 release was weird. You couldn't buy it until release day. Steam users are saying even with a 4090 it crashes non-stop. Hopefully this is not the TLOU2 again. I think they may have rushed the release. But I have no firsthand knowledge. So many good games coming out soon. I need to get back into this shyt. I'm feindin, but I think I'll try Astrobot first on my Pro. Maybe, if this Spiderman 2 release is so terrible, I'll just play it on the Pro too. I only bought the pro for anticipation of GTA 6, but it's looking like that will get delayed. We know it's coming to console first, and of course I need to play that day 1 nonstop. It'll come to PC a year later, where it will be much better most likely, but how can you not play the new GTA day 1?

That's a nice build, but I worry about the cooling. That's a problem with small builds like this. I'd imagine it gets way too hot. Even on my old custom water loop build, shyt had heating issues with the 4090, and I had a full-sized case. My new build I bought a whole year ago has 3 radiators in it with a ton of fans. I bought it for maximum cooling. It's big as fukk though. the smaller builds are much nicer to deal with, but the heating is a problem, even on water. These CPUs and GPUs just get so damn hot. I don't even wanna think about the 5090. I just gotta wait for the waterblocks and we'll see.

It's looking like the 5080 is on par with the 4090. The 5090 is obviously better, but how much better? Does it even make sense to upgrade from a 4090? We shall see.

ebay is full of scammers for the 5090, only selling a "picture" of the item. Crazy. I'll wait a few days. Scammers going crazy.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Still no viable waterblocks for the 5090. I'll just wait. Maybe in a month or two

5080 isn’t on par with the 4090. I haven’t seen that in any benchmarks so far. It’s within 10 percent of a 4080 S. The 4090 is still beyond that.
4090 is second to only the 5090 right now in the GPU space.
