Some bought for RRP but not many. Either way, their RRP doesn’t help us here and converting USD to AUD then adding GST has zero relevance.

It's because they are totally clueless. No different from the 4090 launch....everyone thought they'd hit $2500 and below (working backwards…

If they ever get to $3500 it's not going to be for long. Maybe some super sale. Might as well buy for $4000 and get the card soonish.…

Sure but RDNA is so hopelessly behind in Ray- and Pathtracing, what does it matter. This card is for those who can afford to spend the $4k…

Fair enough.... But ordered at launch. Can't see anything in OZ selling the card itself for MSRP. Good thing you finally got it. Congrats

The fans themselves have two plugs, don’t they? One for RGB and one for fan power.

Sell them all. Each one of them will have cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time they leave the house. That's a lot of…

On release day, I assume?

I'm in the same boat but I'm actually happy with the Gamerock. Will have better resale than a non RGB OEM when the 6090 comes.

Just bought from them. Took a while but good service, well built PC, good packaging for shipping and good service

I tried that a while back and the lag was shockingly bad and I’m not on slow Internet.

The 9080Ti isn’t going to be released for another 9 years!

My board and CPU were ageing anyway so it was a good deal for me

$5200 for a 7800 PC with 5090 isn't much more than that.

Agree. My original comment was in regards to the guy waiting for the card to hit $3k.

You're missing the point: the 4090 was a $3k card and dropped to $2700, the 5090 is a $4k card and waiting for it to drop to $3k isn't…

Is that the V1 Palit without vapour chamber again?

GOOD LUCK with that. The best the 4090 ever got was about 10% below initial MSRP (roughly $2700 vs $2950). Waiting for the 6000 series and…

It's my first order with them. I thought it was normal to get that

It's on the Techfast site where you can also download the invoice

You can tell the GPU by looking at the BIOS ID in the diagnostics report but you'll hopefully find out today. TBH, they're all very similar.

Yes, it shipped! Hasn't arrived yet but I'm getting a Palit GameRock 5090 and the Gigabyte X870 Eagle WIFI7 board. What GPU did you get?

Two weeks ago. What a joke. I'm glad you got yours but how there can be two weeks between shipping dates for virtually the same build beats…

Yeah, I noticed there are a few now. Still $1k over MSRP but slowly(!) coming down. I just want my order to finally ship.....

Let's hope so. I don't understand how my build can be in testing for NINE days. If they broke something or it's missing parts then they…

If it helps: I ordered on the 9th and Mine has been Built/Testing for a week and not even shipped.

Mine still says Built. I'm going to Adelaide in August. If it hasn't shipped by then I might just pick it up and take it on the plane

The x870 board? Yeah, $400 for the 9800 is quite an ask but maybe the 7800 is in some bundle.

Congratulations! Did you get the 5090 with the 9800?

Thanks for the heads up! I'm still hopeful.
