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

[Personality+]

Question now is, how much over each card’s respective MSRP will they be? For example, the Aorus Master 5090 should be around £2,500 i believe. But when it has been in stock over the past few weeks it’s been £2700-3000.

Yeah the Master was what I wanted at launch, had to resist buying one today for that exact reason + seeing the ice go for £250 less

How much moolah is waiting worth… hmm.

Well, paying £2600 over two years is around £25 a week…

Your losing a week of ownership for each week you wait… so in that sense waiting decreases the ‘period of ownership value’.

I think… £50 a week. Better to pay £200 to get it a ~month earlier.

I’m going to apply this from tomorrow… let’s see how those ETAs hold up…

This is exactly my logic, I did pay slightly over the odds for an Asus Astral, but card is in the PC now and I am enjoying it. If I kept waiting for the official stock to come in could be months. I just hope nvidia do something like a proper trillion dollar company and make it easier to get one for the real fans.

The difference is the price, their Solid non-OC was £2,099.99, £200 cheaper than OCUK. I think the OC was an even bigger saving.

Being the cheapest has it's downsides, I think in a normal launch (e.g. 130,000 4090's) it wouldn't be such a long wait.

The problem is hindsight. What will the 6090 launch be like? Will the difference in price be worth it next time?

I don't think I'm going to preorder from anyone next time. Even in the official "worst ever launch", I managed to get a card I want at a price I'm happy with within two months of release, so why pre-order?

i get that. my TUF 5090 that i ordered from the barcode site was a great price but time is money for me and 2 months wait while only going down 48 positions in the queue is pathetic. yes Overclockers prices are higher but they are getting stock constantly while we can see the other site is getting **** all. I'm pretty sure i would be waiting another 3-4 months at the rate it was going which would have meant 5-6 months total wait (of course this is just an estimate). There is an extremely satifying feeling getting the card you want now and just being done with it until the next big gpu lands in 2 years or your next upgrade in 5 or whatever years. i also understand people who are in positions where money is tighter and cant just spend hundreds more just like that. this whole launch was awful but i have a feeling 6000 series will be just as bad/worse.

Let see where we are at the end of this week: the uplift on the premium range cards is disgraceful, and the supply sporadic and purchased 'first come first served'. A pre-order queue has its place!

Some reports of ~20% prices increases on Zotac cards in the US. Doesn't seem to be mirrored here, from what I can see. Tariffs, or are we just going to get the same price hike tomorrow?

Yea, i posted that earlier (may have been in the other thread). There is no reason for it to apply here, but manufacturers are greedy, so who knows. It a normal market that would kill all Zotac sales.

I may have just been at the right place at the right time. I logged onto my PC this morning and checked the notification site, and it had what I thought was a stale notification from earlier/yesterday that I was going to dismiss. I read the notification and saw that it was for a MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G SHADOW 3X OC at MSRP of £979. I hadn't heard of that model, so I clicked the link and it said in stock. I purchased it, had confirmation and now it says dispatched, arriving tomorrow! I'll just have to check the ROPs when it arrives.

I got this 5080 model I'd never heard of this morning off Ali Express for £779 !

Well, they are the ones paying the 20% first to Trump and passing it on to the customer. If I was Zotac I would sell everything in Europe/Asia so I don't have to frontload all that tariff cost just to then also **** of my customers by charging 20% extra.

OCUK was slightly cheaper than that on launch day. My Solid non-OC was £130 over(deducting shipping costs as I get that free here) what the other place was selling. Don't think I regret paying a bit more though. I think I'd still be waiting for a long time otherwise.

I've moved up by like 30 places in just over a week to 65 for the zotac solid in the queue place, hopefully that progress keeps up and I don't stall out again, starting to lose a bit of patience I'll be honest.

I'm 62 in the queue for the 5090 Zotac solid. Also, I am losing patience at how slow the stock is arriving. Constantly keeping an eye out for it appearing here and elsewhere.

 

[R0b1n]

Well, looks like my new card is arriving today. Lovely

 

[R0b1n]

To any Zotac 5090 Solid OC owners: any suggestions for undervolting settings?

Cant seem the find this, but I do reckon buying my whole last build and 3.4k so far of my new build constitutes as loyalty if I do say so myself haha

 

[chiller15]

There is a really good honest review on that website from another buyer. It’s basically a low end model, nothing fancy, minimal overclocking headroom, SFF ready and it’s supposed to be priced near MSRP.

Ah yeah. Tbh, I'm not really that bothered about OC or RGB. I've had a 3080 FE that wasn't overclocked or anything. My main concern will be that it's a two slot card; will the cooling be up to snuff for a higher power draw? Realisitically, a higher model for a few hundred more, I'm looking at what, a <5% performance difference?

I've just been compared the spec sheet between the SHADOW OC to the VENTUS 3X and they are identical except for the model numbers and weight (presumably shroud and backplate), with the same clock, boost and memory speeds.

I'm 2 places behind you now, I'm still hoping I get lucky on an FE at some point but that seems unlikely considering they sell out instantly. I agree this is getting frustrating, there's been a shipment of 10 cards (split between 2 lots of 5), I started at 116, the rest has been cancellations.

Thanks for hightlighting, I missed this. I had a couple of free upgrades recently to next day as I just forgot to select it. When I emailed them to change it, they said it was already marked next day, this must be why. I had linked my forum account previously.
Obviously, not realising this, I paid for next day on my last order this week...

Pretty sure that card is close to not existing . Queue place has had 0 stock according to their daily updates. It was my original choice, looks a great card!
