The 5090 targeted audience isnt enough to warrant camping out at the store.
From everything I've seen on forums, I dont think people will be flocking to stores by the masses to get a 5090. Its price is out of reach for an extensive % of the community. Maybe the 5080 for most users but with only 16gb I expect lots of people will be waiting for 3rd party benches before even considering it.
I'd wager when the 5070/ti drops we'll see more of a black friday PS5 line outside the building.
There may be good lines, but theyre not all out to buy a 5090. They're out there for a 5080 gamble. Come back to this thread on the 31st and let me know!
Guaranteed OP is camping out at his MC and is just trying to convince other people they don’t need to.
Facts.
Literally what I’ve been saying about all these posts talking about the lines at the upcoming release
I’m going to line up/camp for it. I did it for the 3090 and 4090. Maybe I’m weird, but I actually enjoy doing it. I’m old with a family and no gamer friends. It’s a chance for me to relive my younger nerd days.
Honestly going to camp for something reminds me of the days of midnight launches when I worked at Gamestop.
You’re underestimating how many people have credit cards and the willingness to go into crippling debt
If you are gonna line up expect over reference card cost as they are very limited. When I went for 4080, there were 3 reference cards matching fe price and rest were all over fe price point by a couple of hundred
Nice try bro. See you there.
Most ppl can’t shell out 2000 to 2500 for the Asus rog which is correct
I really hope MC carries the new Astral OC edition 5090. That's the one I'm gunning for
