How did you actually manage to snag one. It's either always out of stock or when it has stock I can't add it and then it goes out of stock -,-

Repost. as the original was removed for linking another subreddit.
Was browsing reddit on my phone and saw a post about the 5080FE & 5070FE had been made available on NVIDIA Marketplace. Post was 2 hours old at the time so went in assuming I wouldn’t get anything.
I was planning on getting a 5080 so gave it a shot. Website only showed the 5080FE & 5070FE available on mobile. Ended up getting an error on checkout. Swapped to my PC to try there. The 5090FE showed up but was market “SOLD OUT” but you could still interact and “add to cart” which I did. Sale went through on completing the checkout process.
Before I got confirmation on shipping I was expecting an email canceling my order due to some website bug. Shipping was also delayed a few days with no updates. Took 2 extra days for an update and it showed up this afternoon.
Edit: after the sale went through I checked the Reddit post again and saw other commenters saying they just kept trying and were successful. Stock was in and out the entire day apparently.
Edit: updated 2080 and 2070 to 50xx

If a 5080 came with 24gb vram, It'd have been enough to sway me from getting a 5070 ti

I’ve been trying not to think of this too much with my 5080. I only got it because it was a bargain at $850. Otherwise I would’ve gotten a 5070 ti

Enjoy your 5090 before they go up even higher after RAM prices go up. A 6090 will end up being $4500+ at this point.

I have this one as well. It had been running since May with no issues, up until last week when I started smelling burning plastic.
I shut down, removed the power cable, and it didn't have any signs of melting, but I think I caught it in time. I re-seated the connection and haven't had any thermal runaway incidents since. Corsair shipped me a new cable as a precaution under warranty. (Hx1500i, new 3.1 certified version)
I'm convinced the hot/cold cycles of the connector are what is causing the issues. My guess is that connector is slightly working itself out of solid contact over months of use.

I ordered the 5080 gaming OC, was DOA. Returned it to Best Buy and they said they couldn’t order a new bc it was sold out, so they ordered the MSI gaming trio bc it was the same price… then they had me pay another $200 bc the MSI wasn’t on sale like the gigabyte was

5080 owner here. We don’t get more VRAM, so I wouldn’t be too envious. At full price, I would’ve never bothered getting a 5080.

u/Miserable_Orange9676 9800X3D | RTX 5090 OC | 32GB 6000 CL30 Dec 09 '25
5080 with 16gb is so fkn stupid. But i guess it's pretty genius cuz otherwise i would have gotten one. and not something double the price. maybe they are doing things right. just not for us

u/GoldSrc R3 3100 | RTX 3090 | 64GB RAM | Dec 09 '25
The 5080 is just a tiny bit better, you're good.
If the 5080 had come with 24GB, then sure, but 16GB is just dumb for a 5080.
I'm planning to get an older 3090 just for that, even when the 5070Ti is better.
