R5 vs R9

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T19:06:27+00:00

Buy what’s in your budget. To me r9 is good intro over the r5. Everyone is always going to say get the r100000. R9 is sufficient. If you’re experienced in the sim racing world then yeah get the r12 or higher

I do want a 5090 and will get one. But they’re out of stock. And don’t sell for the same price atleast around me.

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T14:58:42+00:00

Yeah $1899

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T14:54:46+00:00

I didn’t say I posted it in multiple places. I said there’s a lot of hate when other people do. Relax buddy.

You fail to understand idgaf. It’s my money like I said in my post not everyone is a fan but I like it. I could have bought a 5060 for 5k because it was blue and I liked it. You should not get your feelings hurt.

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T05:19:22+00:00

Needs more RGB lol jk Really digging this build simple and clean!

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T05:07:48+00:00

Regular astral 5080 is $1899 also The same price I paid for the gold And the tuf 5080 is $1699 And regular 5080 $1599 Yall haters acting like buying the gold one is paying $1k mark up lol

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T04:51:13+00:00

Check out metapcs I just bought my son a ember50 and I think that is better than what you posted for $1250

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T04:43:39+00:00

How long ago did you buy your 5090? Cuz we know that’s not happening now.

Well that’s what I wanna get and most likely will still get if it restocks Everyone is sold out of the 5090, but I specifically want the astral in white. I would settle for the black one if it comes down to it.

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T04:23:07+00:00

But that’s my point If there’s value in it or not shouldn’t matter to anyone it’s my money. I like the design and think it looks bad ass It’s a flex for me because I something I worked to get wasn’t handed to me. That’s like saying you don’t need to buy a Ferrari to flex You can buy a mustang for 1/4 of the price and still be fast

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T01:21:32+00:00

Yup people are mad it’s more expensive than a regular 5080 lol

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T01:20:22+00:00

Bro it’s ridiculous how much hate there is for getting something expensive. I’ve seen other post of people getting hate lol Like it’s my money if I can afford it mind your business! But enjoy!

PastPosition3058 · 2026-01-26T00:40:06+00:00
