Dal lancio delle nuove schede grafiche della serie 5000 RTX 5000, ho pensato di ottenere un nuovo PC e ho sentito molte cose buone su Alternate.
Ieri ero vicino a passare un ordine per un PC personalizzato basato sul 4090 (poiché le recensioni del nuovo 5080 sono state tutt’altro che stellari). È una carta costosa, ma fino a ieri era 2449 euro, e ora sono 2799 euro (vedi screenshot). Semmai speravo che il prezzo delle carte più vecchie sarebbe diminuito con il rilascio della nuova generazione. /Rant

– Paper launch
– People realize they don’t need a 5090
– Demand increase and so does the price people can ask for a 4090
Scalpers will keep the price high for newer cards, but I don’t know why these prices still stand…
Maybe a lot of people have the same idea as you
For prices to go down on older cards, there needs to be stocks on the new ones.
And you are probably not the only one wanting a 4090 due to poor benchmarks of the 5080. Demand goes up, so do prices.
Also I think the 4090 is no longer produced
Not going to get better.
Nvidia has once again deliberately created an immense supply problem, and people are insane these days and will pay anything for GPUs, especially around launches because FOMO and entirely too much disposable income, I guess.
Frankly dude, I don’t understand how you were even considering 2450 eur for a GPU, but you do you I guess.
Every GPU launch cycle will be like this (and has been like this) because Nvidia has stopped even trying to keep up appearances and AMD and Intel aren’t competing at the high end.
Webshops just follow this and hike prices accordingly. Often multiple times a day.
I mean 5090s have been sold in Germany for up to 6000 euros lol.
Supply and demand ma man
Welcome to economics 101, today we talk about: Supply and demand
Never buy a high-end new computer/gpu when Nvidia is launching new cards. All prices went up in the last weeks, even second hand cards prices rose quickly in the last 2 months. Previous gen cards almost never go down in price when a new gen launches.
Anyway, don’t buy GPU’s of that price range unless you have a real use case for it. It’s a money waste.
I’d rather buy an AMD and have mid performance tbh
They´re not being produced anymore, stocks are low and they use dynamic pricing so they´ll only get more expensive as they sell out. If you settled on a 4090, i´d look for 2nd hand prices. But I´ve seen them go for more than €1700 aswell.
Otherwise just go for a 5080 FE, way cheaper and with a decent overclock it comes close to the 4090, albeit with much lower VRAM.
Alternate is fucking scalping with 5080/9800x3D systems, they are trying to sell them for €4000-5000, more than €2000 over MSRP. so stay away from them. Build your own if you can
demand is skyrocketing,
i have a 4090 supreme x,
on second hand market even those prices raise above 2k
nuts!
Check [megekko.nl](http://megekko.nl), usually better prices than alternate.
When it’s PC parts or concert tickets, it’s called scalpers, when it’s the housing market it’s called landlords.
Tjah
Ze maken geen rtx 4090
Ze weten ook dat de rtx 5080 en de rtx 50xx op zich maar kleine upgrades zijn.
Veel mensen denken nu ‘goedkoop’ een rtx 4090 te scoren. Maar dit is nu een supply demand issue.
Geen nieuwe rtx 4090 kaarten meer,rtx 5080 valt tegen.
Tjah
Alternate wil daar zoveel mogelijk winst op pakken.
It’s overpriced af, and that wont change because people are fine to pay such premium.
With NVIDIA it’s always better to buy 1 or 2 gens before. And get AMD (7900XTX) if you don’t want fake frames or other software gimmicks
I am in the same boat arm. My 3070 is pushing it’s limits. I al going tot wait for 5070ti prices and benchmarks. If it sick i might go for a 4080 (super) or a 4070ti super. Stock is super low atm at european retailers because of the bad 5080 benchmarks.
Gpu prices fluctuate immensely. I got a 3070 card right around the release for a decent price. It was more than double the week after.
You don’t need a 4090 to play Path of Exile 2, i can run it fine on my AMD RX7800
