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

Just wondering why everyone is happy in what Nvidia has been doing for the past few years, I think the company is to powerful and as a result they do what they want when they want, controlling the market and having zero competition, it harms the consumer and its the consumer that has zero choice,
their competitors has bowed out waving the white flag, there is no red vs green or vs blue, its only green, its like the competition hasn't got the know how and resources to mount a defence, follow the leader or dont and stay hungry.

Its clear now that from now on this is the new norm and it will take years before choice and competition steps in, imagine if BMW was the only car that provided luxury and performance and was the most desirable, and that on the roads 75% of the cars you see was a BMW with the remaining 25% being slower less desirable cars, this is what it is in the consumer GPU market right now with Nvidia at the top.

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.

The buying pre-built notion is undone a little though as a lot of places offering builds make it clear (well those that don't probably should) that you are still in a pre-order system. Now maybe a place will place priority on a build, or may secure OEM parts somehow, but it's not a walk-in/walk-out situation. You could still face a wait.

I've thought of doing the same myself, not necessarily to secure a 5090, just that a 5090 was going to go into a new build anyway. Held off for the time being, and have settled in a pre-order for the GPU for now.

Money fortunately not an issue at the moment, but one thing I won't do is pay over the odds to some scalper.

Zotac solid pre order was placed on launch day from the other place and expected arrival time was into the second half of the year, due to this it was cancelled.
Cheapest Pre built 5090 system from the other place is scheduled to be built and shipped in 2 weeks, coincidently with the 5090 Zotac Solid.

I dont think anyone is happy with Nvidia having a monoply at the high end but for now at least it is what it is. JUntel are certainlylooking to challenge in teh lwer end which will give consumers choice and AMD hopefully have some good cards up its sleeve for the md range which is where most people seem to shop. FYI i dont think AMD have waived the white flagbased on rumours which is all we have AMD will be back in teh high end market either with 6000 or 7000
 
My 5080 arrived from Overclockers today and its been great setting it up. Finally setup request of cancellation from other pre-order queue. Wish you all best of luck on getting your cards soon.
