This is giving me 3080 launch vibes. What a dark time.

Hi there

I just checked with people who know internally:

OcUK check out with debit/credit card is the fastest checkout method and should appear in OcUK warehouse almost instantly unless payment declined or other item out of stock, on product launch always best to order the launch product SOLO.

Amazon/Paypal check outs, we don't see these until the API does the callback to us, hence these methods can cause a delay in OcUK getting the order, in times of high demand we have experienced their servers timing out and we never get the order and they can be slow at informing the customer of the failed transaction or never inform them.

Finance, wont get a queue position until it is approved, this can cause a considerable delay in us receiving the order, avoid on new product launches.


In short if your impatient, want to be as high up in the queue as possible make sure your payment method is debit/credit card using the OcUK checkout and select DPD next day shipping.

Ugh, that sucks. I paid with Amazon.

I'm half wondering if I should just bend over for a scalper.

I was going to say, the last time I did a big upgrade was the 30-series launch and this feels nearly as bad! Maybe I'm cursed, in which case I can only apologise to everyone, I promise to upgrade mid-cycle from now on

Great to know for what will bound to be a horrific 5000 series Nvidia launch in a few months lol.

"if your impatient, and want to be as high up in the queue as possible" Sums 99% of us up perfectly

i'm genuinely tempted to get a 4080 super now because I can't even bear the thought of a Nvidia launch again... my 3080 is great, just struggles at 4k with some games.

Give it seven days, as I say were expecting 300-400 in a matter of days if all goes to plan.

We have no vision of 50 series yet, what I can tell you is 4090 is now EOL and incredible hard to get, prices have rocketed.
4080 Super is now going short and prices firming up, we still have plenty of cards online at sub £900 which is some of best pricing in UK.
4070 Ti Super, is very tight now, we still have some sub £700 cards.
4070 Super is going short, unknown on this, think the shortage is just down to pre built PC sales rocketing across the globe, so NVIDIA just struggling to cope with demand and suspect it will continue well into Q1 next year.

I had the same thought, although I'm hoping AMD release a card with similar performance to a 7900xtx with better RT and power efficiency. Which will be available. At a sensible price. Perfectly reasonable... right? Otherwise it looks like my 3080 12gb will be slugging it out for a while yet.

I love DLSS too much to go back to AMD I think, I know they have their own tech, but it just isn't as good or supported by as many titles. but yeah, the amount of Vram on high end Nvidia cards is so low compared to AMD.

This does sound plausible, as when I have ordered things online, I don't actually see that order appear in the ERP until later, but with the old ERP/Website and I am sure its similar with this new ERP that paying using the OcUK checkout with a debit/credit card always seemed to be quickest method.

I know on 3080 launch, Amazon payments caused a huge disaster, as Amazon made it look like people had placed an order successfully, but OcUK never received the order and Amazon never took the funds, but Amazon did not make those customers aware until 24-48hrs later. This was totally out of OcUK's control and was a server issue at Amazon's end timing out.

As such for brand new product launches in high demand I'd always avoid external check outs like Amazon, Paypal, Finance etc.

OcUK has made huge improvements on our own servers and this was proven with 9800X3D launch as our website never went down, in fact it did not even slow down.

Yeah good work. I have to admit there wasnt even a hitch and i imagine the traffic was pretty high around 2!

Yeah, I can't even consider the 4090 because of the prices. the cheaper 4080 super cards are what are tempting me... all the rumours are pointing to a disappointing and insanely expensive 5080, but obviously rumours can't always be trusted.

 

[Rusty0611]

Can’t wait to be furiously refreshing 8 shops for the 5090 launch. Gonna put myself out of office at work so I don’t get caught on a call again like this time .

Back to all things CPU, my order went through at 14:17 paid by card, so maybe this week but probably unlikely. Have an order elsewhere too but not sure when that arrives either, so we wait… impatiently

Is there anyway to know when OcUK got the order if the payment method was Amazon/Paypal? Just having some visibility over what wave I'm likely to be would be a blessing, but appreciate it if that's not possible

...We have no vision of 50 series yet...

Do you know if you're going to be doing pre-orders before its released yet?

I'm not desperate for a gpu as i'm on a 7900XTX but i'd still like to get one of the new 5080/5090s (depending on price of the 90s)

 

[jamie7tcr]

Ordered at 14:11 I'm just going to go with Monday now as the absolute earliest I'll get it and forget about it for the rest of the week and if it turns up at the weekend happy days!

 

[kevcooke76]

Well, this is all very disappointing news. My order time was 13:57 but as I was unaware of the warehouse/payment method I just used what I always do and let it use Amazon pay, which I received my email saying payment successful around 14:57 - so I am guessing that I am not receiving the 9800 anytime soon then

I just called them, they can tell you when the order/payment was received. No guarantees on shipping or supply etc but does give you a ball park when yours was received.

 

[7Nathant]

Ordered ar 14:02:48 and got my "shipped" email at at 04:00 this morning. Woohoo!

 

[loonyk]

I just was told that X870E Nova is delaying my order it's the only sensible x870 chipset motherboard with good pcie lane split....oh well. now sit and wait...
