I just decided in the last few days to see about getting my hands on a 4090 GPU. So far everything showing sold out. Been checking sites off and on, signed up for the in stock tracker this morning and have been checking that out.. they showed Ebay, so I checked that link. Obviously a scalper - 4090 FE for 2250 dollars. That card retail is 1550 dollars. And get this, he shows to date has sold over 50 of them. That is like 35k dollars plus in profit. Sheese I hate scalpers with a passion but damn that is a lot of money...
These guys are the reason, there is never any stock. They eat it all up. Looking at Now In Stock looks like when someone gets some in they sell them out in less than 5 minutes. Unbelievable.

We got an unexpected check today out of the blue for almost 4K bucks, 4090 here I come! Now just got to find one at retail pricing I ain't supporting no scalper. They can all burn as far as I care. Trying the Now in Stock up but new to it and it is a little convoluted to say the least lol.

The cheapest 4090s over here - which are in stock in a shop - sell for $2388 today (Gainward GeForce RTX 4090 Phantom HDMI 3xDP 24GB). Actually nearly $500 cheaper than my Asus Strix OC 3090.
Saw on Reddit that several are running these cards using 750w psus with no issues - and it has been tested work with no perceivable performance reductions. I don't think 3090 owners need to worry about getting new psus for a 4090.
Adding 75 - 85% more performance should be awesome for the Aero. You'll get better performance with the Aero + 4090 than I've got with the Index + 3090 in all games and apps, even apps and games requiring native Steam drivers.
I'd prioritize 4090 too if I was using an Aero, good luck finding one.
I've completed Hubris, so I don't have any new PCVR game in sight needing more performance. Next up for me is the Sony PSVR2, already ordered one. And the kids are warming up the PS5 with Astrobot, lol.

Thanks Rune. Yeah whilst I am now anxious to get my hands on one, I am still going to be selective and what make and model, and not a chance of paying a scalper. So may take me some time I reckon.

I tried that Now In Stock app but that thing was way too convoluted for me to wrap my feeble mind around. I know there are some guys that swear by it. Mostly what I was getting was notification on cards being scalped anyways. Burn scalpers burn.
Patience.

Hmm thought I had update this earlier. Got a Gigabyte 4090 OC at MSRP and could not be happier, has made a huge improvement in my flight sim VR performance. They have worked majic on these 4090's been gaming hard with mine over the last couple of days and the warmest the GPU has got was 58c. Amazing for an air cooled card.
I happened to catch the Now In Stock app just as some inventory apparently came in at NewEgg. Had the card the next day ( Wed). Been running it hard last two days.
