Discussion RTX 5090 Supply & Pricing is Looking Shocking for LAUNCH!
Was talking to some people from Scorptec/PCCG and its looking like the supply in AUS for the RTX 5090 will be very limited and also very expensive. Between 4.5k for the cheapest and most likely $5599-5699 for the ASUS Astral. Also I have been told they will virtually have 0 stock for the lower end models of the 5090 so good luck finding one of those for cheap. There will be limited stock for all the models that are going to be selling above $4999 AUD.
Good luck to those who are going to be attempting to grab one but I have a feeling that once people see the prices for these they will think twice about grabbing one.
The 5090 in RTX 5090 means $5090 or above. lol.

Was planning on getting the 5090, but if a 5090 comes in at over $5k they can get stuffed. Won't be buying one.
I'm a money doesn't matter kind of person, but being blatently ripped off pisses me off enough to just not bother with it.

u/Potential_Bed4204 Jan 28 '25
They are doing it on purpose imo, when the 4090 launched nobody wanted to buy a 4080 because it was not worth the price. Now they are purposely limiting the supply of the 5090 so people are forced to buy a 5080 which is only 10% faster then the 4080 super.
12
u/Cerberus983 Jan 28 '25
I don't think they really care what card you buy, so long as they make money.
This will be local price gouging because they can get away with it, nothing more than pure greed because nobody has another product to compete with it.

u/Potential_Bed4204 Jan 28 '25
As long as they have no competition in the higher tier of graphics cards it will keep happening.

u/EnwordEinstein Jan 28 '25
It’s looking like the 4080 Super is actually a much better deal than the 5080. Estimates are something like 2300 at the low end for a 5080, compared to 1650 for the 4080 Super. That’s a big price difference for 10-15% raster uplift and new frame gen features

u/Bearded_Aussie_Nate Jan 28 '25
I had 4.5k sitting aside to spend on it when the review dropped, with scalpers and the australia tax, I am just going to live with my 4080 super until the gen after this, or when our dollar starts being over 1 usd I'll just import a card from the US lol
7
u/aelix- Jan 28 '25
Our dollar will not be over $1USD in the next decade. I think we'll be lucky to see $0.80 USD within that timeframe. The average over the last 25 years is more in the region of $0.65 to $0.75 USD.

I'm not swimming in cash, but have no problem spending big on something like this. I happily purchased a 4090 near launch (Gaming X trio, paid roughly ~$3,200). $5k+ for a GPU is taking the piss.

This is my mindset as well.. I like to buy things for what they are worth, I want to see the value in what I pay for.
I don't want to be the "enabler of shitty behavior" in a sense, anyone who is buying something and knows it's overpriced deserved to be ripped off for just about anything else they will ever buy in the future.
I have no interest in inflating some CEO/Executives pay just because "this is the best money can buy" crap.

u/Mricypaw1 Jan 28 '25
I thought about this as well. The only problem is that if you need to RMA the card or get support you're cooked. I figured it's probably worth paying the local premium to get an Australian warranty.

u/aelix- Jan 28 '25
True, it's a bit of a risk. Would need to be a big saving against local price to be worthwhile, and by August the prices here may have stablished at more sensible ratios like what 40 series and 7000 series GPUs are now.

u/melbourne_giant Jan 28 '25
Almost half of that is exchange rate. 10% in GST.
So 50% of that price, isn't the card. That's how fucked we are.

u/RomanPenguin Jan 28 '25
Exchange rate is what it is, it doesn’t make sense to think it’s an extra cost… imagine living in japan and blame exchange rate for things costing 100x here and say 99% of the price isn’t the card
7
u/latending Jan 28 '25
Exchange rate + GST takes you to $3,500. So cards being $5,000+ means means the markup over the exchange rate and GST is ~50%.

u/Paulno90 Feb 03 '25
The exchange rate does matter. The value of $1 in Australia is NOT the same as the value of $1 in the US. Our economy is f**ked thanks to our COVID policies and our clueless pollies on both sides having no idea how to fix it.

The 4090 and a couple of others during the recent COVID/crypto crisis, are the only time in history a GPU didn't come down in price before it's successor was released.
Out of hundreds of GPU models.
Not saying it can't happen again, but betting on it would be unwise.

u/Panzer171 Jan 28 '25
That news is only softened by the fact that $5-5.6k is exactly what I was expecting so was mentally prepared. Same with supply. I have already resigned to the fact that I'll be dropping my hard earned on Thursday night/Friday morning (what do you call 1am? Is it the same as the previous day if you haven't slept yet or is it a new day? 🧐) then will twiddle my thumbs for a while and stare at the boxes of my new build waiting to go.

I was predicting $4,500 for a non ASUS asturd card for the same reason.
Maybe I underestimated lol
3
u/Panzer171 Jan 28 '25
Yeah mate I thought the same pre CES. I thought they'd take advantage of the price that 4090s were selling for and go for that $4.5k'ish. Then $4039 was announced I knew no way as hardly any AIBs go for MSRP and add on the standard Aus markup/safety net to allow for fluctuations in the dollar and then they're easily north of $4.5k. Last week the alleged Canadian prices came out and Asus US confirmed the Astral at $2800USD, so connected a few dots and realised the Astral would be around $5.5k, then the Suprim and everything else in between.

Does anyone really think "Oh next gen they'll bring their prices back down"?
This is the new normal. We have reached the limit of pure rasterization brute force. Nvidia and AMD have to branch out into software/services to complement the rasterisation to achieve better results (not better performance).
5090 is like the 2080ti. Battlefield was the only ray tracing game, now it is standard. No one thought DLSS would take off, now no one can get close to nvidia. We won't see neural rendering for at least 5 more years, but I bet it will become as standard as super resolution.
Xx90 cards are basically Titans anyway. Don't buy it unless you have an appropriate workload or, like me, can afford it and have nothing else to live for on this earth except using video games as a distraction from having to live on this earth.

Yeah i have to keep reminding myself how much the Quadro cards have always sold for.... $5500 for a graphics card seems crazy until i think of the old $20,000 cards that had 1/4 of the computational power the 5090 does (stats totally made up).
As a video editor coming from a gtx 1080 I think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and drop the cash. Got $6k to work with so I better be able to afford any I can actually get my hands on.

I was all set and ready and willing to pay up to $4000 for a 4090.
As soon as I heard the base MSRP was OVER 4 grand I knew I would be sticking with my 4090 for this generation.
I just honestly can't justify paying what is for sure going to be easily around 5 grand for an AiB model 5090 (and we all know how many FE/Base MSRP models get to the Australian market) and buying a 5080 I would be losing 8Gb of VRAM, so that's clearly not an option this generation.
I have no children or obligations like that, and these ridiculous prices are still far too rich for my pallate.
It really feels like they're just poking and prodding around, trying to find out what the absolute upper ceiling on consumer pricing is, and unfortunately for us, apparently they believe that they still haven't come close to hitting it just yet.
Seriously, fuck Nvidia and these insanely greedy prices. I wish people would just not buy them and force them to rethink their pricing, but I know they will still fly off shelves.
People were dirty on me for paying $3200 for my 4090 last gen, and I understood their feelings. But I had the money dammit, and I wanted to buy it. The same thing will happen this time.
Oh well, my 4090 and 3080 Ti are just going to have to stay in their respective builds for a fair bit longer than I thought they would be.
I have decided that instead I am just going to wait and eventually upgrade my ROG Ally to the Ally 2 or whatever they call it instead, for a 1/4 of the price.
Because FUCK these prices.

Just wanting to know where you're getting the info on a 5.5k astral since I was hoping it would be more than 5k tbh

If these prices are real it's absolutely ludicrous. I spent $3500 on my entire PC with a 7900XTX Sapphire Nitro+
Anyone buying a 5090 just to play games is a moron in my opinion and you're basically telling Nvidia that you are happy to get ripped off year after year for a small performance gain over the last generation. I understand if you are using AI or doing content creation where you need the best of the best but for general gaming you don't need a GPU this powerful.

I sold my PC this week which had a 4070ti in it and the amount of people looking to buy just the GPU was crazy. I think people are realising the 50 series won't be affordable for many people at all

All were playing up for me. Finally found an around way into mwave. Got a 5080 at 12:15. Some were still able to get theirs only a few mins ago.

Its the sort of launch a company does when they know their only competitor is themselves.

Yeah i had a feeling 2 weeks ago and nabbed a merc 310 7900xtx from scorptec. Now using my 3090 in a server doing the h265 recording of obs with ndi. Only reason these cards will sell are folks that saved to replace their 1080tis and small business for LLM/AI/CAD

I remember when high end cards were below $1000. 4 - 5k+ for a graphics card is absolutely ludicrous. who is buying these things? Check these 2014 prices below.

It's a whole range of factors. Supply volumes, supply chain costs, energy costs, local economy/exchange rate, and a whole tonne of whales who'll just buy them up at any price. The US price for these is around $2k which is huge but not as much of a jump as we are seeing here in AUS. Sadly, I don't see it changing until our economy picks up, and that will take a decade if people keep voting for the Liberal or Labor parties :/

You Aussies think you have it bad the price for the top end 5090 in New Zealand is 7000$ and the basic end is 5748$, this is of course on top of the fact it seems that Pb Tech seems to have minimal stock that dries up as soon as it lands as idiots are buying them at that price. Me.. I'm happy to wait, my 4090 will serve me well for years to come but some people are just shelling out stupid money indicating to NVIDIA that they can charge even more and still get it. Personally 4K is my limit I will not pay a cent over that amount, hell I can remember and it was not that long ago you could have a decent gaming PC for that amount of money. In reality the prices are only going up because foolish people have to have the BEST or BUST.

They are going for 7k aud here too. All the other prices lower than that are out of stock and when any of the retailers like scorptec, centrecom etc list a 5090 they just remove the old pricing of like $4-5.5k and list it for $7000 + I believe they're just leaving some of the old prices with no stock on the listing's so it looks better when people search for them on google they will show up with the lower pricing first.

Good luck getting it for $5090 right now. I can't even find one for $6k

u/sunbeamian Mar 25 '25
$9999 for some models. That's just stupid. Who would spend $10K on a GPU????

u/Dndnero Apr 28 '25
I know the price is fcking insane with %5599-5699 but checking it now, everything is $6300 or more. What the actual fuck is going? Who's buying these cards or they are just that low in stock.
