NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
We are doing nothing at present, Zotac have shipped some to us, if Zotac then say no more, that is when we will move to OC.
Really, really hoping some found their way to The Competitor With The Queues. I'm getting increasingly paranoid about the way Palits keep dropping at other retailers, but we've only had one movement in that particular queue that was down to cards shipping rather than people dropping out.
I managed to snag the Palit. It's definitely not the card I want, especially at that price, but if it overclocks well and is stable then I don't actually mind. What's the practical reality of returns at Overclockers, if I open and install it, can I still return it after a few days?
14 days no question asked return as long as you haven't damaged it , if you got a OC version that goes to 600w then will be good as any other 5090 for gaming tbh ... competitive benchmarks it may lose a few points but not gonna notice any difference in games between them Imo

I tried for it but well done!
It's the non-OC basic Palit one annoyingly, but I was planning to just do the usual MSI afterburner approach. Only looking for gaming. On my current MSI 4090 Gaming Trio gets me about 8% extra fps in CP2077 at 4k max, so as long as I can get 5% or so more than standard on this 5090 I'll be happy to keep it.
I'm going to need 600+ to keep me warm...Not sure how anyone could cope with the mere 575W available
Its been shipped todayI believe none have shipped today as I think it was a late delivery so I’d suspect all will ship out tomorrow including yours.
Please post here if it ships, if you don’t have a shipping notification by say 3pm drop CS an email and they can sort it for you.
I see having "just" 575W as opposed to 600W as a minor reduction in the risk of everything going melty-burny.Having only 575W is going to drive me absolutely nuts for the next 2 years

Are they actually in stock? grabbed one as well, but in my rush to order chose the free 5 day delivery option, emailed customer support to see if it can be upgraded, but it probably is a pre-order?
Everyone who successfully ordered and paid for one, got one, they will ship today/tomorrow.

Great newsEveryone who successfully ordered and paid for one, got one, they will ship today/tomorrow.
Amazing! I clicked next day, because the bottom of the page said "get it on the 28th if you order in the next hour". In case it doesn't get shipped today, is it possible to upgrade to Saturday delivery so it still comes for the weekend, and if so is there an email to contact?Everyone who successfully ordered and paid for one, got one, they will ship today/tomorrow.

Dang it just got a DPD shipping confirmation for a regular Palit 5090 from elsewhere. Let's go boys. Good luck to all.

Good thing - My phone has been pinging quite a few times today for 5090 drops.
It definitely seems that more and more are arriving.
Just retailers are scalping the cards too which is the problem - But then they sell out instantly at £2600 for cards which were meant to be MSRP.
