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

[iaowv]

I have a pre-order in for a Astral OC 5080 at MRSP (£1375) at another retailer who say they expect stock on the 14th at the earliest. Whether or not they'll honour that price we'll see.

 

[Kelt]

I'm now 335 in queue for the Zotac 5090 xD Going down 4 a day, at this rate I'll be 100 years old by the time I get mine

Look on the bright side, by the time you get your 5090, you'll be able to get in another queue for the 6090.

 

[DavieJG]

We're British. The queuing is the fun part.

 

[Jay-G25]

Very specific pricing.......attracting no bidders.

Clearly it's the 72 pence that is putting people off snapping up this absolute bargain

I only wish they queued up to take my money too. My money jumped right to the front of the queue and I'm sat here just waiting

I love them. You're never alone in a que.

The first game I'm going to play is queue simulator 2025. Hopefully at 700fps.

Your money was on the VIP list (mine too).

The Astral 5080 is the top dog, what would people consider to be a reasonable normal retailer price?

I would value the base 5080 at around £750 so maybe £850-900 tops for the astral.

I would agree for the top end models, then the lower models should be cheaper accordingly.

Currently the lower models are being scalped for more than £1,375.

I don't feel I have any FOMO. I have a pre-order in at MSRP at a price I'm willing to pay, seems fine to me. Obviously supply will even out eventually, but I'd rather have a GPU sooner than in 6 months+.

Same. I'm in line (40s, keeps moving) for a 5090, and can wait for it to be fulfilled. I played a good deal of Rogue Trader, BG3 KC2 over last two evenings. All three games run very even at 4k on my back-up 6950xt. I stepped away from my desk last night thinking "I'm spending £2300 for what...?"

 

[Nitefly]

5080 as new and launched for £1k seems about right to me.

£1.3 - 1.4k for the Astral / Suprim etc.

 

[Joxeon]

Same. I'm in line for a 5090, hit can wait for it to be fulfilled. I played a good deal of Rogue Trader, BG3 KC2 over last two evenings. Both games run very even at 4k on my back-up 6950xt. I stepped away from my desk last night thinking "I'm spending £2300 for what...?"

I think many people will think this once the dust settles.

+ £18.55 shipping is what did it for me.

That was exactly my feeling playing on my 3050 a few days ago. I thought Red Dead 2 was a demanding title, but at 4k, mostly high settings it looked incredible and was at 60fps+. Don't get me wrong still going to go for a higher end card but not a top end one anymore.

 

[MrE333]

That assumes cards exist in the UK.

ftfy.

I hope i dont feel this way lol. Im hoping itll help run OBS better for streams and help video editing/rendering.

This is the problem with not upgrading GPU very often. I bought my 3060 Ti for £380 on launch and thinking "this is a crazy amount of money for a mid range card, it's more than I paid for my 8800 GTX" and I've been stuck unable to upgrade since because somehow the performance/£ only keeps going down over time

 

[Matthew Hunt]

I use hot stock and now in stock alerts. Seems to miss some drops though. What are you guys using?

Hot Stock only and paid the £4.99 for premium updates.
I seriously doubt will get one.

 

[Madpete]

Well, I'm still 14th in a queue for a Gigabyte 5090 Gaming OC and I'd rather have my card!
