90K+ When would Nvidia series 50 cards' prices go down?

I was waiting for the nvidia 5090, but seeing as it's price is north of 3L i am a bit skeptical towards buying it.

Any idea if the prices are gonna go down in a couple of months?

I need at least a 24GB gpu, for gaming and LLMs. I already have a 4080S.

Should i go for a used 4090 now and buy 5090 later or skip 5090 altogether?

Thanks

If you already have a 4080S, grabbing a used 4090 now seems like a solid move for 24GB VRAM without breaking the bank. The 5090s price might not drop much early on, so you could wait and see if it's worth the premium later.

Why buy defective things at stupid prices ? Look at below.
Price acceptability may depend on use case, but this thing is broken.

And indian warranty is generally not upto standards, and has a high chance of getting rejected due to burns. Has already happened to a guy here.

Nvidia took out safety features in 4000 and 5000 series, so that single power cable is not safe if not in ideal conditions with small margin of error, esp at high power levels.
It worked in 3090ti as those safety stuff were there.

It might be safer below 250w-300w, dunno.
As per google, 'A 16-gauge single core wire can handle up to15A which is 12*15 = 180W'
There might be some space beyond that and above answer could be wrong too. I dunno.

It's hard to predict about XX90 prices . But RX 9070,9070 XT might effect 5070ti,5070 prices. It's too early we need to look at benchmarks soon and get an idea. AMD has a history of messing up Indian pricing during launches making it not so bang for buck in India. Lets see what happens now.

This is looking like the case cause a few retailers in Nehru Place, Delhi are quoting 95k plus for a Sapphire 9070 XT (non-OC) at launch which is BEYOND absurd

heh, you didn't mention +GST on top of that... The hardware resellers in this country are an absolute farce.
5070ti has dropped a bit to 93k for the galax edition which is just 13k north of msrp. I'd like to think it will drop down till 86ish at the very least in a few month. Don't forget its a 80k card according to nvidia.
 
I think nvidia will launch a 5080 ti/super with 24 GB of VRAM in the future but this is still a speculation without any timeline. The YT channel Moore's law is dead once said this in a video.

Don't want to wait for super. I think I'll just buy a 4090 for now and see about the 5090 in the future

No CUDA has better support, wider community and i already have a 3090

I spent a good few hours trying to the run the deepseek model on my 7900 xtx and couldnt get it to work. it needs so many workarounds like enabling WSL etc etc

If your use case is AI.. i would suggest to stay away from amd.

However going from a 4080->4090 just for gaming is not that big a jump. I would suggest stay with the 4080 until 5090 prices stabilize.

True AMD has a terrible support for ML.

My use case revolves around ML as well so I think I would have to go for 4090

arent there any consumer gpus for ML use case

Depends. You can do ML on consumer GPUs. But at an enterprise scale you need server grade GPUs.

Most startups can make do with 4090s. Or cloud services.

Nvidia won't release a 64gb consumer grade card, it knows that'll tank h100's sales. So they're playing it smart
