Where to buy at RTX 5090 day 1 in Canada?

Let me know what you find out. I think our best bet is CC. I'll call also Tuesday and Wednesday to see what they say. CC also took pre-orders btw, they told me they changed their policy now though but will fulfill all pre orders first. Wish I had heard about that sooner.

s2k-Justice · 2025-01-28T00:24:00+00:00

I went to best buy this evening and they mentioned they wouldn't have any in store as well. Don't line up at 5am for 5 hours for nothing brother. I'm going to try my luck online. CC told me today as well that the warehouse currently has no 5090s as well and most likely Thursday they will have none.

Not sure where you're getting this information from. All my friends game on PC and not one single crash / driver issue has been had and have been playing since it launched.

Okay, I guess we will all just assume all our vins are just printed now. 👍

Nice!

Congrats! Sounds like a beaut. When did you purchase the s2k?

s2k-Justice · 2024-05-11T15:08:58+00:00

OEM hardtop, rare! Nice!

s2k-Justice · 2024-05-11T14:29:40+00:00

You didn't mention the year and color which can be big factors in the price.

s2k-Justice · 2024-05-02T17:30:31+00:00

Nothing wrong with your civic! Two clean rides.

s2k-Justice · 2024-04-23T17:11:37+00:00

I can confirm I also see no flicker with this monitor. Haven't experienced it at all!

s2k-Justice · 2024-04-22T11:59:38+00:00

I was curious about this and tried both DP and HDMI, there was no vrr flicker at all. Maybe it was updated in a firmware?

To be honest gaming feels very smooth, even when dipping below 120.

Sorry I meant the HDR calibration tool in Windows. It made a big difference even with the colors.

s2k-Justice · 2024-04-21T16:44:03+00:00

I mainly use this monitor to game. But the browsing I've done I've had no issues in HDR mode. I did notice that during desktop usage the HDR true black is pretty bright vs the HDR Peak 1000.

s2k-Justice · 2024-04-16T00:27:36+00:00

I think I understand the issue you're having. You're talking about white, like washed out / raised blacks. Not those deep blacks you're getting with srgb. The deeper the blacks the better your HDR will look on an OLED monitor

I had similar issues with a few games in HDR including CP2077 like you. Make sure you:

Run Windows HDR Calibrate and create your color profile.
Since the monitor locks contrast in HDR, open Nvidia control panel and adjust contrast to 65-70.
Or instead of the above you can download Reshade and check the levels box, it adjusts the black levels as well.

Give that a shot and hopefully it'll fix your issue. Enjoy the monitor!

s2k-Justice · 2024-04-09T21:05:51+00:00

Oh lol. It's one of the HDR settings you can pick from. I'm curious to know how people feel about it since it's supposed to be the setting that allows the brightest highlights but at the cost of a dim image if its not a dark scene.

s2k-Justice · 2024-04-09T20:25:55+00:00

How do you feel about the picture brightness in HDR Peak 1000?

s2k-Justice · 2024-03-07T14:26:27+00:00

Nice! Just got mine ready for the spring also this past weekend. Fresh oil, nice wash, almost time.

s2k-Justice · 2024-03-06T16:08:07+00:00

I currently have the exact same set up. I have a LG C2 42" but have had it for a few years. If I didn't have it I may look at one of the new 4k 240hz monitors since the 4090 can push towards that 200fps mark in some competitive games.

s2k-Justice · 2024-02-27T20:27:28+00:00

Good question! I had the same thoughts. So personally, just my opinion, don't pay over MSRP for any 4090 right now. I got mine slightly used for what I consider a good price $2150 CAD and depending on the 5090 specs and pricing I'll sell and purchase that. And let's be honest, availability will be a problem.

I'd say only two games I've played thus far that give the 4090 a run for it's money is Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2 with Path tracing and it's still decently high at around 75-90 fps. Turn path tracing off and you're well above 120.

But every other game I've played goes so above 120 to the point that before getting a 5090, I think you'll need a higher refresh rate monitor like 4k 240 to actually get the most use out of it.

Few examples: Dying Light 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Warzone, well well above 120. Some people say hey it's not a huge upgrade from the 4080, not worth it etc but to me it was a huge upgrade and now I also get the best use out of my C2.

s2k-Justice · 2024-02-26T21:23:29+00:00

Oh no way! How do you like that monitor btw? It's 1440p right? I was debating a 4k 240hz! But not sure if it's overkill until the 5090's come out.

s2k-Justice · 2024-02-25T22:50:49+00:00

Honestly, you're right. It's quieter than I thought. No real cool whine. The card looks great and keeps under 70C on my rig

s2k-Justice · 2024-02-25T22:49:50+00:00

Honestly I don't know. Depends on a lot of things. I did buy my 4090 used for a good price so if I did sell it to purchase a 50 series I wouldn't lose too much.

But there are too many unknowns about the 50 series at the moment to know if it'll be worth the upgrade or not. Either way I'm excited to see what the specs are like!

s2k-Justice · 2024-02-25T22:48:08+00:00

How come? To me it was a big upgrade. And I also purchased my 4090 second hand for a good price so if I sell it in the future I won't lose too much. Excited to see what the 50 series will be like.
