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

I am in a queue with a competitor, however, I am wondering if you're new to the party how would you get yourself added to the queue i.e. pre-order your card? None of the normal sites allow you to do this. Maybe they want to bag their pre-order numbers, clear those, and then start opening up sales

They are probably trying to balance how many orders they can take in with the amount of cards predicted to be coming in and will open more orders when fulfilled a certain amount.

I wouldn't expect them to open up queues again until they are more sure on supply rates and new prices. Anyone that hasn't made it into a queue already will likely have to rely on alerts and trying to beat bots.
 
This forum post is like a support site for queue updates: thanks for that!

If you are a casual GPU buyer, taking an interest in the latest GPU, this is a disaster: zero opportunity to buy a new Nvidia 5000 series card or join a pre-order queue. No obvious timeframe in sight.
 
Crazy there was only a few hours to join a queue to maybe get a thing at some point but they take the money immediately

Maybe 200 per retailer per SKU and they don't even know when they'll deliver those

Sigh!

You'd hope a queue of, I dunno, presumably over 200 strong would make them reconsider using them for prebuilts but who knows.

Would be interesting to know how many they sold , the position thing they use in that bar makes it look like thousands as even at 119 it's like 5 to 10% along if that :cry: they did have preorders open for a length of time and I assume just kept taking preorders.... I've seen people quoting 380+ for the Zotac Solid but so far .

Yup, 3rd gen in a row its been like this and this might just be the longest i've had to wait to get my mitts on one. Secured my 3080 Suprim on the second week & lucked out with 4090 FE 6 days after release.
 
Well, there's one thing we can all agree on.

In the very near future we are all going to have to bend over or sell body parts.

You wouldn't bet against Nvidia to set RRP at 3 - 4K on the next cards with the way these are selling.

well Nvidia did just lose close to 20% off their company value, probably a sign of over valuation and price margins

Huh, that's strange...

Buddy's 5090 sold for £5K, he's a pro scalper now :cool:

What did he do? He banned from the GPU forum now?

He's banned from the MM as far as I can tell.

Search his name there for the HDD sale that went wrong.

In his leaving post (now deleted), he said he's exiting the forum voluntarily because he's upset that mods voted unanimously (his words) to declare him "untrustworthy" because of him scalping his recently bought GPU and his dealing(s) in the MM.

I stand to be corrected if I got any of this wrong,
 
You are right in that summary, wrong in that I tried to scam him. If you have any concerns get in touch with him and he will explain (he was fully refunded by myself). But lets keep it on topic, I didn't realise those posts were not allowed.

I think they will just directly sell new arrival 5090 to hungry buyer but not fulfilling the pre-order. Pre-order = money in the bag, interest free loan. Money in the bag already, lets open up sales to grab even more

Never said you tried to scam him, I said (check my post), that the HDD sale went wrong.
