"I ordered at 1.31 seconds passed release but it says I`m 1020/2000 in the queue ???"
"Gibbo when will I/where is/What if I order* delete as applicable"
"I missed out on the pre-order and now have to wait till July bloody OCUK" (even though its not OCUK fault)"

Wasn't there people crying 3 months later when they didn't get a 3080 and was still in a queue hahaha

The queue went on for much longer then 3 months I seem to recall some people preordering and waiting an insane amount of time. Those heady GPU shortage days.

Yeah it's was crazy the amount of people posting about it. I would have given up after a few weeks.
 
I dont think it matters what price it is. If you had a 30 then a 40 you are going to buy a 50.

I really can't wait to see how much it will cost to run a game world like we get in ready player one...

I had 20, 30, 40, few AMD cards in between and I'm not one bit interested in buying 5k series. Everything I've seen so far leaking (including photos of boxes) suggest no new features, speedups just with more power use, etc. Shapes to be much more like a refresh than actually new thing worth upgrading from 40. And pricing being higher on top - nope, thank you. :)

So about a year and a half? I seem to remember that wait was so long for some people they didn’t even get their 3080 before they were superseded by the Ti and the 12gb!

Dark days.

Something tells me you won’t have a problem buying a 5080 this time round…

I got eventually the 12gb one cheaply but it didn't last long before I swapped for 4090 :)

Needless to say I didn't put an order in! A lot changed in two years.
