I think he’d be more of a fine wine and cheese kind of guy.

Not that I’m speaking from experience of course :cry:

@Dannyr90 @Tykey guys u misunderstood will cost me at most a grand. Due my 3090 having a bath (dam hardline fitting failed) and Evga no longer doing rma’s I had to go through Insurance. But while this happened just before christmas I got a 4080 to tied me over.

Then last week insurance contacted me I now have a £1800 voucher plus the 1k I have in hand

Now that makes a lot more sense

So we get 5 hours to decide what we want to buy vs cost?

Best if you decide before hand. By the time you have decided on release time they will probably be sold out. With limited availability and MSI postponing their release till next week it makes an already difficult to obtain card even more harder. Have a back up option as well already decided. Chances are the one you want will sell out fast and they only have a miniscule amount of cards for certain brands.

Also as mentioned by @Gibbo avoid finance and paypal for payment if you do manage to get the option to buy as they take longer to process and could possibly make your chances of securing one a moot point.

Also factor in the website will be hammered and it will slow down possibly go kaput under the traffic. All etailers websites will be under siege. The question is do you want to use that time on release to try and secure one on Ocuk or from another etailer. This time round OcUK does not have the largest allocation of 5090's. That choice only you can decide. But for me it wouldn't be a official launch date unless I chose Ocuk for the chaos.

Wouldn't it just be more cost efficient overall (can't believe I am saying this in context of a 5090) just to pull out an extra 1800 on top of the 1k you have rather than paying the excess and pushing up your premium?

But this needs to know the relative costs really to make a selection! And will be using Paypal but so be it if 10 minutes down the queue.
