it is absurdly easy to get a 5090 on launch. ive gotten their flagship from their website FE every single launch without fail. from 2080 to 3090 to 4090

Do you have a recipe in mind for preparing your hat for human consumption or is your plan to eat it raw?

That would be true for the 4090, but the 3090 is even more cut down so the 5090 is about 100% faster in rasterization (based on the 4090 being nearly 70% faster than the 3090 and the 5090 being approx 25% faster than the 4090)

The increase from a 3090 to a 5090 would be way more than that.

Certainly worth paying +$1k if you are doing anything that requires GPU power (hash cracking with hashcat for example)
