Okay, dumb r-slur question
time as I actually want to upgrade my PC relatively soon.
Will the 5090 ever be obtainable for about MSRP? Is it just a matter of waiting a few months, or will it always be inflated?
The last time I got a card it was a 3080

3080 so it's not dire or anything, but I wonder how well I'll be able to run stuff like the new monster hunter and games coming out later this year

Why not wait and see how it performs? Maybe get a used 4090 and save yourself $2k-3k.

You're probably right. It's just that I have monies
and wanted to get the best.
What's the safest way to buy a used 4090 without something wrong with it?

Use ebay and filter by the seller having a return policy. Read their product description. If what you get is not as described, you just ship it back and get your money back. I've hardly had to do this, and the few times I did, I had no problems getting my money. I've bought and sold 100s of PC parts and PCs on ebay.
Also, only buy from people with high ratings. Not losers with 0 stars or a few because it's most likely stolen or a box of rocks.

You'll need to use something like https://www.nowinstock.net/ to have any chance to buy online.

By the time the card is market valued to it's msrp, the value of finding a brand new in box will go up so pretty much no you will never get a better opportunity than at launch for these high end cards if you don't want to buy used

No, because tariffs are going to encourage Nvidia to up the prices or replace the 5090 with a more expensive 5090ti. If you care about value in any respect, you aren't buying a 5090.
