There is a lot to be said about the 50 series so far:
reviewers by en large are extremely fed up with this situation (msrp is a value, street value is way more inflated. This skews a lot the review process)
people simply cannot get them (mostly scalpers for now I would say)
if we check in a vacuum the msrp and performance between 40 and 50 series, in the same segment is not an impressive uplift
the 5090 PCB is a massive fiasco (if you do not know what the problem is, check buildzoid video on the 12x6 connector and PCB issue). And by the looks of it, 5080 might suffer the same
My opinion regarding the pricing issue is going to be decided in the next months. If people cave for scalpers or pre scalper prices, price anchoring will be in full effect for next release. If people as a collective get a back bone and don’t cave in, prices will have to be more normal than this nonsense.
Still the connector issue for 5090 really needs to be addressed in an official capacity for nvidia to do something about it.
