Be interesting to know the numbers on others who got the FE yesterday, on the last drop when I got one we worked out it was around 217 cards or so via 2 batch... one had 70 odd the other 140 odd from memory5090FE just arrived, giving it a spell in the sun before it begins it's long trek in the darkness
Seems this drop was 72 cards by the packaging; not great, not terrible.

It's been 330 pages of pre-order talk, if the mods had a problem, they would have done something by now.
Hinting competitors means 1) naming outright (e.g. Bob's Computer Store) 2) using descriptive words/puns to name the competitor (e.g. the green heart shaped logo, or basil's left knee).
You can talk about competitors existing, either implicitly or explicitly, probably for pragmatic reasons. If I said my XFX 9070 XT had just been delivered, but OCUK don't sell XFX cards, then I must have bought it somewhere else.
Two batches of 72 and 360, total of 432 cards.
So quite a bit more than last drop ... almost double. Let's hope it doubles again for the next lot but I suppose it shows stocks is starting to flow through now
Mine was 36/144. The date of manufacture seems to be 21/1/2025. So it took a while to get here!

Ever the optimist. It was a month since the drop before, so i'm not getting my hopes up. The RTX 4090 FE launch was the a full on tidal wave by comparison. 2 months after launch the 4090 FE was in stock for hours at a time, hence I got one without stressing. The current situation is pathetic. I suspect the supply of AIB cards may increase, if the theory of the 5090 FE cooler being crazy money to produce is true. Time will tell.So quite a bit more than last drop ... almost double. Let's hope it doubles again for the next lot but I suppose it shows stocks is starting to flow through now
Tin foil hats at the ready!
