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

[p3eps]

The API I was using checks every 21 secs.

Sorry - I'm the same (not 30 secs) - I just watched it do a full cycle!

I got a 5090 FE too, I had that GitHub API webpage open on my phone and it went off, lucky I was close by my PC hit the FE page and it was there.


At the end of it my hands were shaking lol, jeez, so it looks as Nvidia have done away with the invites like with the 4090’s.

Apparently nVidia give you 15 mins to checkout once it's in your basket - so plenty of time to get through the checkout etc

Yeah exactly, so as long as you click on Add to Basket in time, that's all that matters - then you've got 15 min to actually buy it.
Ideally this bot would check every 5 seconds. That's a 4x increase in luck.

So I managed to grab an 5090 FE today, so now have a spare 5080 (bought from competitor it's now outside the 14 day return window). Where's the best place to sell other than eBay?

The API is rate limited, so at every 5 secs, it wouldn’t work.

Try Av forums classified.

Insane price on the Palit 5090 on ocuk

 

[Slam62]

£2700 for a Palit is disgusting

There's defo been movement today, the Trio went back into stock for a bit at the indian.

It’s a shame isn’t it, it will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

 

[nVidiaxAMD]

I added it to basket, was in basket, still couldn't check out in time.

Does OCs not allow time to check out once added to basket?

It went basically straight away lmfao.

Ah , now says 3 to 12 weeks, strange as I thought they had preorders.

100% Avforums. Ebay is a massive risk with their new selling rules.

Lots of overpriced 5080 cards in stock at OCUK.

 

[Matthew Hunt]

must have been a drop today of certain cards.
But £2699 for a Palit is taking the michael.

They sold out though within minutes - So fair play to Overclockers.

 

[nVidiaxAMD]

Very bad for OC not to respect when it's in basket. Went through bank verification, still couldn't complete the order as it went OOS. FFS!

 

[Jay-G25]

CNY finished yesterday so I expect drops to be more frequent but agree with others £2700 for a Palit is taking the biscuit... same amount I paid for a Asus Astral elsewhere

 

[Hostile_18]

@Armaigeus it is true, have a look at my complaint in the feedback forum. 100% trust and 100% ebay rating.

 

[Major774]

So many 5080 models in the OC house!

 

[IT Troll]

As I said, it's luck. If they managed to refresh right at the time the API updated, and they weren't getting cached or sent to a different website server that hadn't been updated then it's still possible to get it manually. It's just more of a dice roll.

If you already the Nvidia website open and are hitting refresh, it is very unlikely you will be served a live page showing stock before it sells out.

However, the thermals and noise are always worse than similar priced AIBs.

Similar priced AIBs? Please tell me more.
