Best way to secure a 5090 FE at Launch?
Posted in r/PC build as well.
US based. Curious if y'all have any recommendations based on past experience.Building a whole new PC for 3D Animation and AI Image Gen and I'm really hoping to secure a 5090 FE on the 30th for the new build.
I'm willing to go to some relatively extreme lengths. Here are some of my assessed options so far:
-Best Buy Website: I've heard that their queue system has worked pretty well on past launches, can anyone verify this? If I stay up until midnight of whatever local time the card drops, could I get one this way?
-Microcenter: I live within a couple hours of a microcenter. I've never been before, but I understand that they'll have at least some sort of stock at launch and will be giving out vouchers in line. How early do people typically arrive? Should I plan to camp overnight? Take the day off work?
For reference, while I've heard about the mess of the 40 and particularly 30 series cards, I myself have been rocking a 1070 founders, so I'm not really sure what launches are like these days
Would love some recommendations. Thanks!
