RTX 5090 which will be launched on January 30 is the plain boring version from Nvidia. But if you want the fancy looking version with cool RGB or with water cooling. You need to additionally wait for several months until other brands launch it. Is my understanding correct?

No. Once the card releases, other manufacturers will also release theirs (ideally, some models may indeed arrive later).
Generally speaking different models release at the same time, once the 5090 releases, all vendors release theirs.
Thanks for this info, Best buy is notorious for sucking at stopping scalpers/bots. Watched a video during 2020 where the bots can checkout in mere milliseconds/seconds. I'll be looking at several retailers at the same time, then.

The only reason why you might have to wait several months is limited stock at launch, so it likely sells out quickly.
Was that the case with the 4090 ? I thought the only happend with the 3000 series ?

Is there a time that they usually become available on the 30th? I don't want to be aimlessly refreshing best buy/ amazon (or some other places I'm not familiar with, please let me know what I'm missing) to beat the scalpers

I'm just going to go to microcenter and wait. I feel a mix of smugness and sadness with that. 4.5 hour round trip, but at least I'm able to do that.
It would be nice to get a founders card and water block it. We're rolling straight into a crypto boom also. So it's going to be awful.
Plain boring version? This is the best looking card imo that Nvidia has ever released
Founder is the best looking version 😂
The plain boring Nvidia version is the one to buy - especially if you plan to WC it
