For those who don’t know, FX for CAD to USD is ~1.43. So Founders RTX 5080 will likely be $1,400 or $1,450 CAD + tax

 

My take… if you’re upgrading, go for founders or “entry” level cooler like Zotac or Asus TUF.

 

Whoever is considering to pay $1,850 CAD + tax for a 5080 should probably take a deep breath before making that purchase

 

5090… no comment XD

Well if you sell a kidney better get the 5090! 16gb vs 32gb

Seems like raster performance isn't up to snuff according to a few reviews I see around; namely this generation relying on improved FG and DLSS4 (and whatever iterations come next, apparently). Seems like a mild side-grade compared to 4080 Super / 4090. But I dunno... I mean if you want it, go get it, eh. 

 

Any thoughts on performance by anyone in-the-know and/or first hand experience?

Speaking of AIB pricing, what is ASUS smoking?

Anyone have luck securing a card? It was a total disaster on my end, with queues and websites crashing.

Paper launch.  Newegg said their website was sold out within 20 minutes.  One of the streamers camped microcenter, the microcenter store only got 5 5090's.
