Well, bought the LC. In case of my 5000D is too small, I can get the new frame 4000D. I have seen that one working.

It's a big rad, 38mm thick plus fans and extends a bit either side of the fans.
However, it is a thing of beauty, and don't drop it on your toes... ;)

Anyone else’s 5090 shipped? Mine still saying order confirmed. I’m assuming they are dealing with a lot of orders!

Yes huge volume today, they are working late, so shall do their best, but some may not ship until tomorrow, as you can see from webshop we still have 5090, 5080 and below in stock along with 9070 XT in stock so daft volumes today. :)

That's not really how it works. For them to spread things around like that by limiting US price rises would likely mean selling at a loss in the US. It doesn't matter how big the US market is - selling at a loss is not something that will happen (and a bigger market is worse in those terms). If US tariffs really do come in and really do hit GPUs (neither of which is really a given), then prices will increase in the US. At some point, price elasticity will start to limit demand there, which will mean more cards being shipped to the rest of the world. Nvidia could try increasing prices in the rest of the world to offset lost revenue from the US, but those same price elasticities will still applies elsewhere in the world.

Edit: What you need to remember here is that it is reasonable to assume that Nvidia is already pricing globally at the point it thinks will maximise profit. If US tariffs mean it can no longer do that in the US, it's going to make things worse for Nvidia if they throw off the balance in the rest of the world as well.

PS5 price increases by £40 as Sony cites 'challenging' conditions

The digital, disc-free edition of Sony's console has increased by roughly £70 since it first went on sale.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

It's started with the PS5. In fact, seemingly no price rise at all in the US (yet) and despite appreciating GBP to USD rate. Do you still maintain your position?

Thanks as ever for keeping us updated. I’m happy just to bag one, I know you’ll all do what you can.

Until we know more... yes. I fully expect to see a US price increase (and a bigger one than for the rest of the world) shortly, but Sony probably need to work out what the hell is going on with tariffs first, which nobody seems to know right now. I'm not generally surprised to see Sony raising prices, though - they PS5 came out just before the big global inflation surge and has had one price increase already. Plus Sony probably want to set expectations for what the PS6 is going to cost...

Edit: Also, Sony's blog post on the issue cites exchange rates, which makes me suspect that the collapse of the Yen is the biggest factor here.

Not sure I’m going to get mine today, buts it’s all good. The ASUS popped up a bit later, so I’m sure I ended up further down in the queue.

Hundreds of 5090s at overclockers today not to mention all the stock last week. And yet today the barcode place only received one allocation of Zotac 5070s…….

Amazing how many of them seem to have sold too. It’s why I always trust OcUK, they often get the stock in.

Yeah, I do not expect prices to drop much anytime soon. I suspect many of the models had very low numbers, but still. To see several hundred £2.3-3.2k graphics cards nearly sell out in minutes/hours is incredible.
 
Something else worth mentioning re: other retailers…

My ROG Astral came unboxed.

You don’t get that nonsense with OcUK… thankfully!

Yes my 5090 Aorus Master arrived like that from the Indian place on Saturday. Box was half destroyed, luckily the card was fine.

What were they thinking? Cost savings on a £2500 purchase……….
