NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - OFFICIAL PRE-ORDER THREAD!

I notice there are already loads of 5090s listed on Fleabay for over £3500 as expected.
Hard to get hyped for these launches anymore, paper stock levels and they don't end up in the hands of actual gamers. Nvidia stock levels must have been pretty much non existent, didn't see a buy button at any point at over half a dozen retailers. Guess Ill be waiting a couple months more, hope some people here actually got lucky not just bots lol

If it's anything like how I managed to get a 3080 FE back in the day, as long as payment is cleared and your order page is showing 'awaiting picking' - you are good.
Last time it took about 6 hours from purchase to move on to the next status.

Yeah, it's not showing in my orders which took me too long to realise. Waiting game before I can try again in a few months now sadly.

There also a fair few scammers selling a photo of a card for 2K!
 
I ordered a 5090 ASTRAL OC through a competitor as I'm guessing many people are right now, estimated 2-12 weeks. Order is still pending on my account page, no confirmation email yet, but the money was taken.
I'm just gonna chill and hope for the best.
 
I managed to nab a 5080 pre-order from another site. I'm still F5ing Overclockers in the hope I can get one for delivery tomorrow though. Them seem to be trickling in.

Did OCUK even put the 5090 live?

None of them that I'm aware of, it would have been nice to know if they actually had any stock delivered at all, and if it was going to be listed on the site.

The 5080 was quite clear, as the prices were updated, and there was a post on X, but it didn't mention the 5090 at all.

Just gone and pre-ordered from a competitors website. Got the TUF 5090 but apparently the estimated date is at the end of May. Waiting time is 2-12 weeks. I see other people in the same boat from the specific competitor. Not received an email but money taken though (I did however get order confirmation page). Tried with my beloved Overclockers but the page crashed for about an hour on me.

They are advertising a 2-12 week on all of the models. Mine was the same. It's just a default timeframe estimate (covering their bases)... you may (or may not) get lucky.
 
I've had the "buy now" button appear a few times on the FE, but that's as far as I got. I'm not prepared to hand over £2,000+ to preorder a card with a vague 2-12 weeks delivery estimate. I think I'll just do what I've done in the past with mad launches and wait a few months for things to settle down.
 
I got through to the payment stage twice on another site (for a card in stock!), but after authorising it with my bank app it failed, twice. So annoying.
