I am in a queue with a competitor, however, I am wondering if you're new to the party how would you get yourself added to the queue i.e. pre-order your card? None of the normal sites allow you to do this. Maybe they want to bag their pre-order numbers, clear those, and then start opening up sales

They are probably trying to balance how many orders they can take in with the amount of cards predicted to be coming in and will open more orders when fulfilled a certain amount.
I wouldn't expect them to open up queues again until they are more sure on supply rates and new prices. Anyone that hasn't made it into a queue already will likely have to rely on alerts and trying to beat bots.
This forum post is like a support site for queue updates: thanks for that!
If you are a casual GPU buyer, taking an interest in the latest GPU, this is a disaster: zero opportunity to buy a new Nvidia 5000 series card or join a pre-order queue. No obvious timeframe in sight.

Would be interesting to know how many they sold , the position thing they use in that bar makes it look like thousands as even at 119 it's like 5 to 10% along if that
they did have preorders open for a length of time and I assume just kept taking preorders.... I've seen people quoting 380+ for the Zotac Solid but so far .

Yup, 3rd gen in a row its been like this and this might just be the longest i've had to wait to get my mitts on one. Secured my 3080 Suprim on the second week & lucked out with 4090 FE 6 days after release.
Well, there's one thing we can all agree on.
In the very near future we are all going to have to bend over or sell body parts.
You wouldn't bet against Nvidia to set RRP at 3 - 4K on the next cards with the way these are selling.

well Nvidia did just lose close to 20% off their company value, probably a sign of over valuation and price margins

For a couple of days, it's nearly back up to where it was

I think they will just directly sell new arrival 5090 to hungry buyer but not fulfilling the pre-order. Pre-order = money in the bag, interest free loan. Money in the bag already, lets open up sales to grab even more
People do it to themselves - if there were no winning buyers, there wouldn't be scalpers. :/

Hard to tell if Nvidia are just incompetent or they deliberately limit supply. There's so many factors for either way, it's impossible to say.

They wanted to get some cards sold in the US at a pre-Cheesy Wotsit Tariffs RRP, so they could turn around after prices went up and say "the big orange thing made us do it".
They were probably ready for the 5080 launch. Nothing we've seen there so far is worse than the 3000 and 4000 series launches. In some ways, it's actually not quite as bad. The 5090 is another story.
Given that the scuttlebutt is that the main reason for the non-existence of the 5090 supply is that Nvidia was very late confirming parts of the spec, particularly the power interface, to AIBs, I wonder if the rumours that the 5090 would need two 16-pin power connectors that did the rounds last Autumn were actually not total nonsense at the time.
Yeah, I get the feeling that originally maybe the 5080 was meant to release before the 5090, but the 5090 got moved up due to tarriffs. Nvidia usually do split the release dates up for the 80/90 cards, so this was a weird outlier.
The 5080 isn't the best situation, but I think if you've been following the launch, stock checkers and so on, it was definitely possible to get it, or at least get into a reasonable queue. Meanwhile the 5090 is relatively non-existent, your only hope of getting one is meticulously following stock trackers and not caring which model you get or hope the queues are quick from the brief period you could get into the queue for one.

Are you able to DM me about this?I'll DM you, as I think it might be a grey area....
Proof please, the asrock bit
I couldn't care less about Americans whining; even with tariffs stuff is really cheap over there and they voted for this

As an American, I fully concur. Those who voted for Orange Catiline (or didn't vote at all) have everything coming to them. Instituting tarifs on trading parnters was literally part of his campaign platform.
It will be interesting to see if/when there is spillover in price hikes in other regions. Hopefully, most of us will get our cards before that happens.
