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

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.

Half the time is the same card going back into stock on a failed/cancelled purchase. In addition to which each drop seems to be getting increasingly expensive

I've been getting this with an Asus somebody's trying to sell for around £3050 or so on a very big competitor. I was getting notifications every 20 minutes for a good chunk of the evening.

That card was being sold by a retailer not just joe bloggs btw. Retailers are scalping these cards. Simple as that.

Odd that the 5090FE for £5999 at the other shop isn't selling. Been 3 days now. Maybe the market is settling down

5090s above £3k don't seem to be moving fast now and above £3.5k seem to be moving very slowly, if at all. Even the hilarious £4k pre-builds with crap old parts and a 5090 have had to step up to the 12900KF for the CPU... that 10500K just wasn't cutting it at £4k.
 
Well it's certianly a win to Overclockers on securing stock of Zotac 5090s! Not a single shipment from their queue competitor and from what I've seen Overclockers have received two shipments of 5090s from them since launch.

Isn't really of the competitors interest to actually get cards.
They have taken pre-orders in the absolute hundreds on pretty much all cards - Someone is 400 and something for the Zotac Solid.
If they took 400 pre-orders across pretty much all their SKU's with an average price of £2.5K - They are sitting on around £15m gaining interest on a daily / weekly basis - They are making an absolute mint at the moment from pre-orders.
If I was them, I wouldn't even be precuring cards and just wait till suckers cancel.

Today we have received a small shipment from PALIT which will all ship out today.
PALIT RTX 5070 Ti GAMEROCK
There were quite a lot of drops yesterday for 5090s (Well way more than usual) - It seems they are the last company to actually get cards.

Somebody else dropped out of the Palit Gamerock 5090 queue last night (who had a position of 27 or better). Either they got a card somewhere else, or else they've had enough of this particular competitor mysteriously never getting the cards that are flowing through to all the other retailers.

I might just stay in the queue anyway to see what happens to it. I would if I had the excess cash, but going to have to drop out, I am in the 100s though.
 
Cancelled my tuf order. It was great in every respect but wouldn't have fit in with my showcase build.

Fortunately its the 5090 Gaming Trio that looks like it was made for my case the most.

I'm also going to try out a AMD card as well I think.
 
Normal Palit 5090 at the competitor company for £3499 - Better be quick

Only 2 in stock and been available now for 5 minutes.
I have a small bit of faith left now in humanity with people not paying these massive scalped retailer prices.

I almost bought, then I noticed the first digit was a 3, not a 2.
 
I am laughing at those eBay listings asking in the £1.2K range for their Palit 5080’s… No one is buying, so they can keep dreaming!

You're really not selling a bog-standard card like the Palit Gamerock for £3500 now. The competitor in question is about a fortnight late to the party on that.
