My PC came last week...... and after a week of it sitting there empty.... I've caved in and bought an MSI Suprim X 3090 off eBay. I will soon be gaming in self loathing!

Well..... it's gone into testing so can only assume it's all good!

Guy on the phone said it's fine and has already been built but he is gonna double check that the PSU in my build is actually the AX and will email me confirmation later. So yeah hopefully it'll be shipped this week. Only bad news is that I'll have to put some more effort into sourcing a GPU lol

I'm just calling now to check. It's weird because just yesterday I spoke to a guy who told me my PSU wasn't available (I had changed it to Corsair AX1000W).

Ok weird, I'm Day 28 and just went in build. 5900X, no GPU. I ordered way back in Nov but unfortunately decided to cancel and ended up ordering again in Jan. In hindsight that was a huge mistake.

Not to the point where it is anywhere close to their flagship product is the point I am making. Anyways, not here for an argument. Just wanted to make people aware :)

Thanks for the basics of capitalism. Does that not apply to the 3080 then which has been in short supply for longer?

The 3080 in terms of availability is like a 5900X, 3090 is 5950X. By your logic, pricing a 3080 above a 3090 makes sense. That's capitalism.

I don't see how that has anything to do with what we're talking about

Yes, that's why they've hiked up the 3080 over the 3090 price.... oh wait no they haven't

I just don't think it's ok to slap on that kind of margin in a way which is very hard to see exactly which part you are being gouged on. Like I said, agree to disagree. If you know what you're looking at it's fine, if not then who cares, it's their business.

If you think pricing the 5900X above the 5950X is not an issue then we'll have to agree to disagree

It's more about if you have no idea what pricing should be. I can imagine there will be lots of people that have no idea it is over £200 overpriced.

I have no clue but obviously it doesn't make sense to put that in your build at that price.

Just having a browse and noticed that the 5900X is now priced higher than the 5950X.... surely that's a mistake?
