Yep just noticed on the OCUK product pages it says:
"Pre-Orders for this product will begin after 2pm on the 30th January.
Models will be put on sale at varying intervals after this time."

Like do we keep pumping F5 and hope we hit the right window?

It means the disappointment will be spread out over the afternoon, instead of the first five minutes!

So if we complain more... prices will drop further

Is this your first GPU launch?

Honestly...yes, normally I just grab a gpu when I feel the need but this time it was October so I thought I'd be patient and wait.
If those do turn out to be the prices though then I'll wait. I'd initially said whatever card was less the £1000, then because of AIB's being more expensive and I'd set my mind on a 5080 I upped it to £1.2k, now I'm going mayyyybe I can go £1.3k but that's it, any.ore than that and I'll save a bit more and go find a second hand 4090 or just go down to a 5070 ti (which is what I thought I'd be getting in the first place).
Hopefully these prices are just placeholders still considering there's a £400 difference in one of them!!!

You can only get the FE through Nvidia, which is then fulfilled by a competitor.

At least Nvidia will have more than 10 cards!

 

[pcfarrar]

I'm just going to pay the Asus tax at OcUK and get a prime or tuf 5080.

It's hilarious we still call them 'cards' isn't it when you think about it. They're the size of breeze blocks.

Are these prices just to put off scalpers or something? I don't understand the strategy behind the "list them high and then drop the price" thing.

 

[Steedie]

Seen a retailer have put their prices up for the 5090 already. 2300 is the cheapest for them, which is a Zotac card

I think the £25000 price is an attempt to block sniperbots.

To think we used to have graphics card pyramids, those were the days.
