Are you guys that are waiting on 50 series cards from Nvidia even considering AMD options at all? I didn't and maybe I put myself at a disadvantage.

I’m absolutely considering it. With that said, if rumors are true that AMD isn’t looking to compete on the high end next gen, I have a hard time seeing myself pulling the trigger on one of their cards, as I’m looking for a “last card” for my 3440x1440 ultrawide, to hold me over until cards get good enough to justify 5k/2k. So as someone who enjoys RT and generally uses upscaling, I’m not sure AMD will be offering any candidates next gen, though I genuinely hope I’m wrong.

Eta: And don’t stress over it now. When announcements start coming out, I promise we’ll discuss them at length in this board, probably in a dedicated thread.

Newest rumors, including from Kopite, have the 5090 and 5080 releasing Q4 this year, with the rest of the stack to follow early next year. As always, take with a grain of salt, but that split wouldn’t be surprising: LINK

How difficult is it to get GPUs once the new series is released?

I've been on gaming laptops for the last 5-6 years due to travel schedule, but that is no longer the case. Finally want to build something (or possibly buy a pre built if it's the only way to get the newest GPUs without waiting). Trying to determine now if I should go with 4090 or wait until 50 series. I'm not in a huge rush now, so waiting makes more sense. But if it'll be 6 months after release before I can actually get a 50 series, I don't know if I have that patience
