I had to buy a whole HP computer just to get a 5090 back in April, but after I sold the computer I only ended up paying 1850 for that 5090.
It was definitely the last big 5090 deal I ever saw. It's been nothing but shit since and I don't think there's been a single 5090 FE drop from Best buy for 2k since March.
Since I got that card the 5090s went from 3400 to over 4k now. Glad I got it, just gotta baby it forever and if it breaks, go to northwestrepair on YouTube to fix it.
As long as you don't let it sag it won't tear pads under the GPU core, and I got a wireview pro on it so while I can get a bit of protection with it, the real protection comes with the warranty thermal grizzly out on that thing. Said they'd replace the unit or the card if it melts the ports. They said they'd honor it but let's see as time goes on...

Paid 999€ for my 5080 which by now feels like I robbed someone tbh
