NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

Hoping the estimated May delivery dates are just an estimate and they'll get them out quicker to you guys who've preordered once production ramps up after the Lunar New Year period.
I for one am unwilling to hand over £2.5k and possibly not get a GPU till May lol, will wait and see what happens over the next few weeks
 
I was keeping an eye on things here and other websites at 2pm and it still amazes me how in this day and age websites can't handle heavy traffic and how scalpers/bots are able to bypass checks.

Hope everyone gets their cards soon and hopefully more stock sooner rather than later for those waiting.

From what I saw yesterday - and I had a lot of browser windows open - there was only one website that couldn't handle the traffic. A couple of the others got a little slow, but ultimately stood up.

The scalpers/bots thing has been an arms race for years and, unfortunately, the scumbags always seem to be ahead in it when a big launch comes around. Or did they struggle a bit with the 4000 series? I forget.

Aside from the FE, anyone that was dead keen on getting a 50 series should have at least been able to join a queue… the same queue as the scalpers.

In which case, the only people paying scalper prices will be whales that have absolutely zero regard for money… and there aren’t many of those.
 
Not many though to be fair. I've seen single digit number of people saying they managed to get a 5090 fe.
I got lucky with mine... simply came back at 2.40 refreshed page and was able to add to basket...
The weird thing was though when it went through to the part where you had to add adress... there was already some random company name and address from Portsmouth that I had to delete out and then add my own name and address..
I think either it was a cancelled order or a bot gone wrong. No idea why i was able to see that info, but bots more than likely got most of them.
