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

That's what I'm waiting to arrive from the queue place. If you can let me know how noise and temps are, that would be fantastic.
Its currently 3 days late and they can't tell me how long I have to wait, despite me dropping from 40 to 21 in the queue with over half of them being cancelled.
Currently considering looking at a 9070xt if I hear nothing by the weekend from them
Yeah I will test it tonight hopefully.

Main reason I went for this over AMD was VR support.
 
Bunch of 5090s dropped at another reseller. Windforce for £2700... Just shameful, I'm embarassed for them.
One of the other places that has no shame has 3 gaming oc 5090s for £3k. It’s had them sitting around for quite a while by the looks of things.

Just tried to live chat the place with the queue and the link doesn’t seem to work.
Has anyone else tried?
I’m guessing they’ve disabled it again because they know they’ll be inundated?
 
I'm in the same boat. I have a confirmed FE order from this morning, plus I'm in the Palit GameRock queue.

There's no chance I'm going to cancel the pre-order until I've installed the FE and checked that it works and that the ROPs are correct, etc. Once that's clear I'll cancel the pre-order.

I wouldn't want to risk a potentially long returns / RMA process with nothing as a backup.

The retailer that dispatches FE cards keeps ample stock for returns. My 3090 FE lasted around 2 hours before literally going POP. I had a replacement the next day and they arranged DPD collection from me the following day for the faulty card.
 
Tracker keeps going off with the same place so either they're reposting the same stock because it's not selling or they just keep getting stock. Not paying 3200 for an Astral though
I think it's different cards - lots of different models. That particular competitor is among the worst on scalping. Curiously enough, they get a lot of stock.

They definitely keep stock around for RMA’s. I got my replacement 3080 FE within a few days because of excessively high memory temps, which caused the auto fans to run at 100% when gaming.

They had a palit for just under 2300 as well. Decided against trying to go through checkout though, maybe I'm being a bit too optimistic the zotacs will finally come next week that are a bit cheaper than these lol.

The Palit cooling is just very meh for an AIB card. According to a review yesterday runs 1c hotter than the FE on the GPU core when noise normalised, which is not good at all.
