In your situation and given how terrible this launch has been so far, unless you have a specific reason for needing a 5090, I wouldn't bother.

Assuming you get 1200-1300 trade in, you are still going to need the best part of a grand to buy a cheaper model 5090. Unless prices really start to come down, may be better waiting unless you really need it, like heatonpkmassive says.

I hear you guys, you're making a lot of sense if I'm honest.
Call me stubborn (I can be), but I figure it's just gonna sit there depreciating over the next 6 months unused, I might as well flip it.

The other reason I'm considering it, is that I use the cards a lot for some side work when I'm less busy (which I'll pick back up in 6 months) and can legitimately reduce the overall spend of a 5090 to about £1,600. Does that change things at all?

If you are literally going to remove the 4090 anyway and not use it, may as well sell now while they are still in relative demand.

Having said that, if your side work doesn't benefit from having a 5090 over a 4090, you may as well just keep it and use again in 6 months with no extra outlay. If it will benefit from a 5090, that's a second reason to sell now...:D

Yeh the 4090 is just going to sit there for now - the small side projects I have I can easily do with my spare 1070 if I need to (but nothing that even needs that right now), so I'm leaning towards selling up.

When I get back to doing the more intensive work (design, video rendering etc.) that's when the 4090 would be useful again but TBH I won't be doing that for a few months.

I'll be honest when I get back to it, the 5090 will help me do that work faster than a 4090, but it probably won't be world's apart. But the legitimate tax situation (all above board and vetted with my accountant), means I can sell now for £1,200 and with my adjusted spend being ~£1,600 later, I would get an upgrade for about £400.

I have a distinct feeling that if you don't do anything now, you are going to be having the same conversation with yourself in 6 months time. The only differences will probably be your 4090 is worth less and the 5090's will be closer to MSRP's. Probably best to do it sooner rather than later, you'll only keep revisiting this subject until you actually do it...;)

You're reading between the lines and know me too well already :cry:. I was adamant I was sticking with the 4090 earlier this year, but me not using the card, kinda prompted me in this direction.

Hi there


So today see's the announcement of the incredible NVIDIA RTX 50 series graphics cards comprising of:
  • 5090 32GB GDDR7 512-Bit Bus - Available to Pre-Order from 2pm January 30th (1pc per customer, UK ONLY)
  • 5080 16GB GDDR7 256-Bit Bus - Available to Pre-Order from 2pm January 30th (1pc per customer, UK ONLY)
  • 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7 256-Bit Bus - Available to Pre-Order from February, date TBC!
  • 5070 12GB GDDR7 192-Bit Bus - Available to Pre-Order from February, date TBC!


The cards are now listed live on OcUK and this range shall keep growing larger and larger almost daily along with constant edits to the products further updating/improving their descriptions in the run up to the pre-order date over the coming weeks.

The pricing displayed is fake and is sole reason is because we do not know our cost or the MSRP for the add in board partner products yet, as such we list at an unrealistic inflated price to make it obvious the pricing is fake, unfortunately our webshop has to display a price, so we play it safe, also just in case of any technical issues the price is high just in case the website starts taking orders. If the pre-order goes live before January 30th it is a mistake/error and any pre-orders placed at the inflated prices will not be honoured, the order will be refunded and the queue position lost.







Pre-Ordering and Purchase Best Practise



Summary
  • Limited to 1 per person
  • Limited to UK only
  • Buy just the GPU, don’t add anything else to your order
  • If you require other parts place a separete order
  • Checkout using Debit/Credit Card directly via the OcUK checkout
  • DPD should be your preferred delivery method
  • Download the DPD App, updating your preferences and information
  • Join the forums and/or Discord channel for stock updates and information
  • Do not reach out to customer service for more information, unless you have critical amends needed for your order
  • If the product is showing ‘Out of Stock’, sign up for stock notifications via the product page and periodically check back as it will return as a ‘pre-order’ shortly
  • Pricing shown prior to launch is inflated and TBC
  • FE (Founders) cards are exclusively available from NVIDIA ONLY


Purchase Limitations

In order to give everyone a fair chance, we have limited stock to 1 per customer only. Sales are also limited to UK only.


Payment Method

Using a debit or credit card directly via the OcUK checkout is the fastest way of checking out and securing your spot in the queue. We have to wait for Amazon, PayPal and other 3rd party payment providers to process your payment and confirm the completion before we can allocate the order, which can take at least 10 minutes for PayPal and 1 hour for finance.


Delivery Method

The delivery method you choose does not impact your place in the queue, however we recommend using DPD for high value purchases.


DPD App

We recommend downloading the DPD app to maximise your delivery success by updating your preferences. Set a safe location, nominate a behaviour, and set your ‘what3words’ location should you live in a new build or estate, or a secluded area.


Pricing

Pricing displayed on site prior to launch date is purposely inflated due to pricing TBC. If sales occur during this period as a result of a technical glitch or exploitation, the order will be cancelled, refunded and queue position lost.


Stock Availability

Stock shortages are expected at launch. Once initial stock holdings are sold out, products will show an ‘Out of Stock’ message whilst we allocate and pick the orders which were placed whilst they were in stock. Once this is complete, the products will return with a pre-order status and available for purchase.


Stock Updates

Keep an eye on the follow locations for stock updates regarding your order if it was on pre-order at the time of purchase:-

OcUK Forums HERE
OcUK Official Discord HERE ( https://discord.gg/5KRXAVw)
Product page for the product you’ve purchased

If you have not bought a product and unable to pre-order, then please sign up for stock notification emails to be alerted as soon as stock is available to purchase.


Customer Service

To minimise response times for customers, we encourage you to not reach out about the following as they are unable to advised and will only delay support for other customers:-
DO NOT ask for your position in the queue
DO NOT ask for stock status, levels or ETAs (This will be communicated separately – see above)
DO NOT ask for your purchased SKU to be changed to another, unless you really want to, as this will reset your queue position

I see that Barcode has had Astral LC for a long time (I am happy with my Astral) it is clear that the demand is slowly falling for more expensive models

Crikey, first time time I've seen that place have actual stock available for general purchase. The LC was that price elsewhere last week as well. It's better but I just can't bring myself to pay £1000 over the FE for any card. Hopefully the wait will pay off sooner rather than later.
