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

Same. I really want a white 5090 but I'm not paying these ridiculous prices for products that just aren't worth the extra.
Will give it 6 months and see where things lie, would consider 4090 2nd hand if prices start to normalise

This is exactly what should have happened people who actually registered an interest should have been given a link to buy one, rather than leaving scalpers to get them.

Could not agree more with you.
If you look on eBay for the FE model what sold and are still for sale you be forgiven to think there was no shortages of the FE 5090.
Nvidia knew that would happen with the bots, so why allow it to happen in the first place, give the cards to gamers who actually what to place it in to their PC’s and use them.
Ho well, just means waiting.

I've cancelled my 5090 Suprim order today. Was 92 queue position, so some of you should go down one! The person I spoke to on the phone was really clued up and seemed to think it would be June/July before I'd get my card, based on what he knew of MSI deliveries. He only said this once I'd past the point of no return and fully cancelled it however! 
Decided to try snag a FE over the next few weeks/months. I'm having a blast going through all the Metal Gear Solid games on my PS3/PS5 Pro currently (replaying some and playing some for the first time) and have many other PS5 games that I want to play in the meanwhile, so have plenty to get on with.
Also don't feel the Suprim (or any good AIB card) is worth the £700+ extra, unless it enabled you to get a card launch week. Realistically, it will probably be May/June until these are 'easily' available and by then the 6090 could only be a year or so away.
Hope the rest of you in the queues get your cards soon!

Hard to imagine 400 5090s rocking up anytime soon.
Especially the "msrp" model..

I will keep my preorder in for the Astral even though i am at no:119 , like you in the mean time will try and get the FE when ever it decides to drop but will still keep my preorder till i have one in the hand so to speak ... i will give them a call on Monday and see if they can give a rough eta for mine as they seem to do ok on Asus stuff stock wise.
Yeah if you need a card ASAP then staying in the queue and trying for a FE is your best bet.
Oh meant to say, problem with Astral at the other place is that they use the Astral in their pre-builds. They also prioritize pre-builds over pre-orders, as obviously much more margin in it for them selling a whole PC.
I'd either swap to another model there or get you pre-order in elsewhere.
If this is accurate this doesn't actually make any sense as I was 116th on launch down now I'm down to 104, I don't understand how you're only down to 111 unless the first day was a bit buggy with where people were supposed to be in the queue based upon order time.

How does a mass manufacturing PCB company stay in business if it can't get 100 boards to a major UK stockist within 5 months!?
