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

Different chip. 5080 uses the GB203, 400 (normally indicating the chip spec), A1 (revision). It's at nearly the top off the spec for that chip. When the 5080 Ti/Super comes along, it will be a new spin altogether, or a cut down GB202 (the chip used in the 5090).

They've probably started binning the perfect chips for the 5080 super already and selling the dross

Queue position 204. I think originally it was around 220 when ordering (5090 Suprim).

The sheer amount of money taken for pre orders must be staggering.

If you figure ~200 in queue for each of the 21 (!) 5090 models, and an average price of £2400, that's £10,080,000. If they hold just half of the money for those preorders in a 6% interest-earning account(s) for three months (which I'm not sure is legal, it isn't in the US for pre-paid goods), that's 75k just in interest.

Didn’t it get limited a long time ago?

Yes and no, in that the 1060 will 'run' everything as such, it's just a question of playability/enjoyability at what has become Low/Medium video options at 60Hz 1080p. TBH I've a busy career, three kids, involved in many organisations and have not dedicated a lot of time to gaming in the last 6-7 years. That will shift slightly, hence the desire to kit myself out with a decent setup once again.

Like many on here, I'm sure we don't mind waiting, it is just the indeterminate nature of the waiting that is frustrating currently. Fingers crossed we get some kind of info trickling through shortly.....

If you buy a £4800 prebuild from that competitor, you get the 5090 Astral OC and it's a guaranteed delivery date of between Tuesday 18 Feb and Thursday 20 Feb. They clearly have either a stockpile of Astrals, or guaranteed delivery dates for this.

Far better to get a 9800X3D, ASUS TUF GAMING X870E-PLUS WIFI, 32GB 6000Mhz C30, 2TB SSD, case, cooler etc compared to people paying £5000+ for just the GPU.

I can’t find this model or any info about which 5090 variant comes in any of their machines. Also all pre orders say 3-4 weeks

The 4080 super has several hundred more cuda cores than the 4080 (all of the 40 series supers do), they can't do that with the 5080 because the 5080 is already a fully unlocked chip. A 5080 super or ti would have to be a 5090 chip cut down, which seems very unlikely as it's on a very mature process and a 5090 chip would make a far more profitable professional card, which is why 5090 supply is already tight.

The current 5080 is basically already a 4080ti (same process node so no improvement), they've not got any more room for super/to without creating a completely new series of chips again which makes no sense for them to do as 3N is already in testing / low power production - and that will be the 60 series. It might come sooner than 2 years though.

5080s are widley available

Not sure why there are more 5080s than 90s coz its the same chip right? but with more defunct cores, only cherry picked chips are used for 5090s?

Also if people are selling it on the bay then its because they cant return it to the retailer for a full refund, needs to be faulty or within a certain time frame.,

14 days to return for any reason, assuming they bought them online in the UK.

Queue update for me: Position still unknown and no ETA on delivery (bought from OCUK lol).

I can't link due to forum rules, though the dates I posted are guaranteed/confirmed dates, I believe they have the cards in stock ready for the pre-builds and the lead time is just the manual labour to physically build them.

On the other website where I pre-orded my white 5090 I was early 30's in the queue. I am now mid 30's in the que so I've gone back some places my guess is when they sell a prebuild PC they get front of the line and I get bumped.... just a theory!

Might be those priority pre orders for those there on the day in person? I dont know, odd.

Could be. Replacements not on hand for DOA units, lost deliveries also etc....
 
Might be the people who attended in person. They had their own separate queue, could have been merged.

Speaking of, bit mean of them to hold a launch event with barely any stock. People who camped out just to pre-order in store are still waiting for their cards.

I stand corrected, i thought there was a dash more in the gb203 die but nope.

I pre-ordered my card on the website on release day, about 6pm, it quoted March delivery. The next day it changed to shipped. When my invoice came through it was marked **event**, so my guess is they actually did have stock for the event that went unsold and they used this to fulfill the the start of the queue for that model (I was like number 8 in the queue for the Zotac Solid OC).
