I’ve recorded it myself over the past month. I’m subscribed to six trackers (two of which are paid services) which ping me immediately when new stock becomes available. Despite this, I’ve been beaten every time, likely by bots.
The retailers I attempted to buy from were Best Buy, Newegg, Amazon, Nvidia, MSI, and Asus. These were the only places to get any stock so far.
**What tool did you use to generate this visual?**
I remember using several different methods of bots(to notify me of stock not make the purchase) in 2020 to acquire a 3080. Eventually I got lucky late one evening from a twitter bot notification that got sent to my desktop through windows.
Good times.
what site are you chasing it after?
The universe is sending you a message.
And when you finally get one you get a broken one with missing ROPs and have to start over
The last branch will be “met dude in back alley”
The universe is telling you not to drop $2k on a GPU
I suggest you listen!
Don’t buy one. Ask yourself do you really need it ? They are bricking, more power connector problems and they are lacking advertised ROPs.
They should never have released the 50-series but just continued with the 40-series and waiting until they had something decent to release. Really one of the worst line-ups they have ever offered.
Reminds me of when I was trying to buy a ps5.
Lol.
It came out on my birthday and it took …8 months(?) to finally snag one without getting scalped.
IDK about you guys, but I think I’mma give AMD a shot this time with that 9600 for $600
My way of coping with 5090 availability is to remind myself about all of the reasons not to get a 5090 – massive monolithic die that drinks power and is probably prone to manufacturing defects (hence the missing ROPs on some of them), poor power delivery design leading to melting cables, NVIDIA not giving a fuck about pissing off their customers because they know they will buy their GPUs any ways
I’ve seen these charts a lot, what are these kind of charts called?
Stop trying so hard to lick Nvidia’s boots.
Why not run a script? Since you seem to care a lot about this
You are missing one. Order completed, delivered, but card set in flames.
looks easier than landing a job
Truly a dystopia when you have to apply for a videocard purchase like you apply for a job 😂
I doubt NVIDIA’s board will let them spend their valuable fabrication allocation on gaming GPUs when datacenter delivers much more profit per mm^2.
The final strand reading “order cancelled” is so comical.
Oh boy this is kinda pathetic…
ok but how many came in fluffer?
112 attempts at an electrical component that has a much higher chance of burning your house down than anything else you’ll own.
112 attempts by a redditor that actually posted on this.
And people are surprised the card is being scalped for higher
My 5090 purchase attempts:
Check local store website -> see every 5090 is listed at $3300-$4200 CAD and all sold out -> Close website
That almost as much as my car cost. Nvidia can eat a dick. They just raise the price by $500 every generation now.

Time for AMD,
hopefully they will have good stock.
This makes no sense. You tried to purchase a $6000 bundle and said “no thanks” each time?
**What is an “RTX 5090”?**
Nvidia’s new graphics card that has been in [famously short supply](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/rtx-50-series-paper-launch-saw-rtx-5090-rtx-5080-flew-off-the-shelves-micro-center-best-buy-and-newegg-are-all-out-of-stock). There’s been so little stock that many have called it [the worst launch ever](https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/nvidias-rtx-5090-launch-could-be-the-worst-ever-can-amd-capitalize).
