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

In fairness, they are basically offering the chance of a better queue position, and a shorter queue, for a premium.

Some of the competitor preorders were open for hours. I wouldn’t like to be at the back of that queue…!

How do we know? Do OCUK release exact queue positions so you know where you are/how long you’re waiting?
 
I'm queue position 39 for the Suprim. Currently estimated dispatch of 7-8th Feb, delivery estimate 10-14th Feb. I'm hoping it comes around then as I fly to NYC on the 20th :cry: :D

I got the MSI 5080 VENTUS 3X OC for MSRP it should arrive today. There isn't any reviews of the card that I can see so I hope the cooling is adequate. They have been making the Ventus 3X for a while and there was a 4080 Super version of it and it seems to be okay. I'll post the temperatures later for anyone interested.

Wel looks like I will be sticking with my trusty EVGA FTW 3090 a while longer, if im honest it plays games totally fine anyway but ya know, shiny stuff and all that!

Interesting thanks. Order tracking is now live so if you check that, we can figure out if the payment authorisation time made a difference.

P.s. there is a difference between your email time and the payment authorisation time (you’d have to check web tracking).

Just checked mate, no 39 in the queue. Claims it will currently dispatch 7-8th feb and be with me 10-14th feb :)

I'm in position 99, RIP :cry: Estimated Despatch Date 7th Feb - 8th Feb

My bank was blocking the transaction, had to call and make the payment using paypal in the end, order was complete 16:06

185 for me and that was having ordered quite a bit later - glad I can sit back and stop caring now
 
My 5080 Zotac Solid OC should be delivered today. By the looks of it, it's a big boy! Excited to try it out but not excited to have to disturb the delicate ecosystem that is my PSU cabling to add in the new cable.

if it's where I preordered mine (the shop that sells the FE) my payment was authorised like an hour after I paid. also the date changed from 30th march to April after I paid, and they wouldn't tell me if my ETA was march or april.
Better be March or before. as thats what it was when I clicked...

Although in my order history it says it's being sent today. lol clearly it isn't.
How can a launch be so badly handled by everyone?

That outfit's updates are intentionally designed to keep you guessing on fulfillment with some dates hinting at immediate delivery, others giving an estimated date. The goal is to hold on to your preorder (and money). All they need to do is update a few date fields and messages, but they've done the same for years (check out posts elsewhere going back to the 2000-series at least). It's a racket.
 
To those asking re: queue position, I didn’t order from OcUK so I can’t be super specific (forum rules).

The retailer I did purchase from has a ‘track order’ section of their website. By putting in your invoice / order number and postcode (or email address) you can see which of the 4 stages of the order you are on. There is within this section also now a new link for ‘live order tracking’ this shows me in queue position 45. This is a Suprim 5090.

My dispatch times have also been updated:

Estimated Despatch Date: 7th Feb - 8th Feb

Estimated Delivery Date: 10th Feb - 14th Feb

Edit: this has since changed to TBC.
