New Shiny GPU's Coming Soon - Ordering Process to guarantee highest queue position

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 16GB 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
  • 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

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

As they say in Star wars 'No there is another' you can get fouder edition cards from a OCUK competitor. For the past few years they have been an afilliate partner with Nvidia.

As much as I would love and FE I would never order from them if they were the last etailer on earth and only they had a 5090. I rather slum it on my 4090 instead.

Haven't ever bought anything on launch day, how difficult do you think it will be to grab a 5080 on launch day? Do the new cards usually sell within a few minutes or should I be able to snag one if I'm checking every 15-30 mins?

ok, another silly question - I will need a whole Ai workstation building - will need help speccing it up and stuff - how would I go about that and be able to join the queue for the 5090 card to be part of the build? ( I currently do all my imaging and video workflows on L40S 48GbVram 64GbRam - so thinking 5090 +128Gb Ram, no gaming needed. It will be running local Ollama and Comfyui workflows and probably unix based for ease of loRa training for Hunyuan Video etc.)

on jan 30 th at 2pm the pre orders go live. Make sure you have an account and all up to dat then purchase the card you want whihc will enter you in to the pro order queue.

If you need help speccing up a setup then go back on to general hardware and just amke a thread there and someone will post and you can look at the option and decide what meets your budget and workflow
