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

well theres definitely a GPU shortage worldwide, worse than the mining period, 5080 single digits in stock for super high prices, 5090 no where to be seen, even 7900XTX sold out and nowhere to be seen, theres somthing going on thats causing this shortage, unless mining is back?

What don't people understand about the factories being shut for Chinese New year ????
 
I bought it directly from Corsair a few weeks ago, so I’d imagine it’s the newer version… or hope so anyway!
I got mine a few weeks ago too, but not direct from Corsair. It shows "ATX 3.1" on the front, top right corner, says Copyright 2024 in the small print and shows the included 12VHPWR cable in the contents picture on the box.
I guess you could always open the box to check too lol (I'm waiting until my 5090 arrives).

I’ll have a look at my box. The PSU is in the PC, but the box is in the loft with all the spare cables.
 
There are new 5080s being dropped to retailers weekly since launch from what I could tell.

Don't forget, it's not just making a card. The bios has to be installed, then go through QC, then packaging, then off to a distribution centre where they will sat on a shelf for a week or so. Next they goto the docks where they will be in storage a few days. Then 6 weeks on a ship. Maybe a week in UK customs. Then to retailers, who have to book all the stock in and warehouse. So maybe from start of manufacture of a card to delivery by the retailer you're probably looking at a period of 2.5 months (incidentally many retailers are giving expected delivery dates for end of April/May)

All this is at a time of the 2 week Chinese New Year period when the manufacturers and ports are mostly shut. (Note the FEs are also made in Taiwan)
