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

[Joxeon]

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

The performance goes up but only if you’re willing to pay more each time you upgrade, this is the new Nvidia reality.

1 more spot down. Happy Friday all

This single digit changes must be people cancelling and dropping out of the queue.

Must be. I can't see a GPU factory simply delivering 1 unit each time. Postie will be furious.

 

[ewozza]

100% its people dropping out. Not really relevant eitherway if someone drops out or 1 item gets delivered. Just means im 1 step closer anyway.

So after my jubilation at securing one of the MSI Gaming Trio 5090's, I've been left disappointed. Turns out the other vendor over-sold the stock, and therefore has cancelled my order.

Luckily, I didn't cancel my pre-orders, but it is gutting nonetheless. I'm back on the hunt and/or the wait!

 

[SuperElectric]

I thought I got one, a 5080 in the jungle. However, the order says "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date." which doesn't sound good. Probably going to be cancelled.

Since the order is still live, it might mean the next drop of this card fulfils the order? We'll see.

It's a shame when the notification pops up for a card at OCUK, and I see the price... £1,499 for a 5080 Tuf

Ruining their reputation. Just throwing it away for short term greed.
They are relying on customers having a short term memory about this.

Proof please, the asrock bit

I couldn't care less about Americans whining; even with tariffs stuff is really cheap over there and they voted for this

Yes £4.99 to get early alerts or £11.99 and it will Autobuy the card for you.

 

[ewozza]

Getting loads of alerts from Overclockers for 5080s. Are these pre-order ones?

 

[Coolasmoo]

Lord have mercy on me. I caved and bought the Asus 5080 from OcUk.

I am sorry to all my fellow forum dudes.

Even alerts have multiple tiers of subscription. lol

 

[antixtreme]

I might just give up on 5090 pre-order, quene not moving. Just wait for 6090

That's a pretty xtreme opinion!

Yes, they let you know about a minute before anyone else.
So you have more chance of getting one - However it seems impossible to get one unless you pay for Autobuy.

 

[Kalibre46]

Out of interest, who else is in the OCUK Pre-order queue for a Zotac Gaming Infinity 5090?

 

[ewozza]

I managed to get a Gigabyte 5080 from OC from the Stock Alerts. Got confirmation email and everything so presume it’s all good? In the end only £100 over my original order from the other place. We'll see.
