Agreed, I get flashbacks of the 30 series launch when we were deliberately given vague information on shipments so we couldn’t determine our place in the queue (i.e large shipment of x, small shipment of y etc)

NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

I do feel vendors were (intentionally) non-transparent or, at best, oblique on supply for this round, OCUK excepted, with the hope people would a) go into long preorder queues, b) tie-in contracts/bundling, c) buy another product (no one wants your crappy, overpriced 5080 
)

So because of yet another launch and another sell out, we as a gaming/tech community have solidified even more increased prices next time. It'll keep going up until people start voting with their wallets. Imagine if not one person bought a 5090 for £2000....
I like the idea of scalpers buying them then nobody buying them lol

Minimum wage salary will probably be 40k a year by the time the 6090 comes out, what with Rachel from accounting in charge
6090 FE for £3k sounds likely.

I have moved up 2 places today too - Either they got 2 in stock or two people dropped out.
Defo 2 dropping out IMO.
Nice one, time for the owners thread. I'm really curious around mfg on your monitor.

ProShop has sold the bulk of European RTX 50 Founders Edition cards to scalpers NVIDIA and retailer have nothing to share yet. Not only has this large European retailer broken the embargo by selling RTX 5090 and 5080 cards before the official release, but the company has also done nothing to...

Only thing I hope is that the same thing doesn't happen with my 3080.
I was like number 80 something on that got down to number 7 and then was stuck on 1 for 2 weeks.
