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

No one should have pre ordered. The release is a disaster and everyone has been taken for fools.

Yeah that price is egregious. I get it but there comes a point when you’re taking the pee

It doesn’t matter what the price is all the retailers no they will still sell. They’ve already sold 2. Credit cards and finance.
 
I find it really hard to believe that the 5080 is £1700.
The card isn't even that good for price/performance, if it was say 10-20% faster than the 4090 then I would understand people paying so much for one.
 
Apparently also people are stating on Reddit that on the other place their queue numbers are going up and not down.
I can only assume that if you buy a pre-built you instantly move to number 1 in the queue.

Ooof, but I get it, they get much more margin on the builds.
 
12 days in and the asking prices are in the £1.3K’s for the 5080 on the bay. Previously they were in the £1.4K+ range.

Keeping holding!
 
Wish we could have some sort of idea on the amount of pre orders here on overclockers, i have a Zotac solid o/c on order, fingers crossed its not going to be months

As long as scalped cards aren’t selling as fast, the retailers will soon catch up on the 5080 stock.

Might mean the 5090 though which frankly doesn't seem to exist. It's been almost a week since the last "real" drop anyones heard about.

Pre-builts had priority before in the 4xxx series and 3xxx series. When they promise to deliver these in a much shorter time than a single GPU they allocate GPU's to these because the profit is greater. By how much is debatable but they get more than a single GPU. Also I have noticed articles popping up on my phone saying the best way to get a 5xxx is buy a pre-built. I've seen some quite reasonably priced 5080 pre-builts so you can see why people might go that way. Stick your old GPU in it and sell the whole lot off 2nd hand. Just checked and the 5080 PC's are in stock and the 5090 PC's are 2 week delivery. MSI 5080/5090's.
