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

[Varys]

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!

You dodged a bullet, be thankful

 

[Jay-G25]

You dodged a bullet, be thankful

The verification was like hmm do you really want to spend £2700 on a Palit, let me make that decision for you

 

[Nitefly]

“We’ve detected some unusual activity - is it really you that’s trying to buy a Palit for £2,700, because lOooOOoOol.”

 

[SuperElectric]

OCUK have the PNY 5080 at £1,220? This must be an MSRP card

I'd prefer to overpay £200-400 and be done with it tbh

Especially since it will be on the bay for £3,500 and still sell

 

[harmattan]

Shameful price on that Palit.

 

[KNiVES]

I see loads of 5080s in stock again today, but the prices are pretty ouch to look at. I went for a 4090 for 1500 the week before launch and I don't regret it.

 

[IT Troll]

Shameful price on that Palit.

Gibbo is so ashamed that he hasn't been in the GPU forum since the launch.

 

[MrE333]

It won't be long until the 5080 is permanently in stock imo and it'll probably end up under msrp.

 

[Finner]

They're likely expecting a delivery tomorrow, but I wouldn't hold my breath getting it Saturday. Like @Finner, you may get the DPD confirm, but it will miss the pick up slot.

yes thats exactly what happened, got confirmation late evening from DPD and card got delivered yesterday afternoon.

5080 MSI ventus 3x, installed, very happy, very quiet, 0 coilwhine.

Nah, he been busy at the local Mclaren dealers.

 

[Finner]

More people cancelling I have moved from 60 to 59 yesterday evening.
I check after 5.30, as look at the daily update - Although all they do is copy and paste the same as the day before.

that will probably be me if you are talking about the 5080 variant

i cancelled my pre order as already got the MSI Ventus

 

[JonRGV250]

Can I interest you in a bridge or two?

That Palit gamerock non oc is or should be a near on msrp card , at release i see it elsewhere for £2080 or there abouts so this is a good £620+ mark up ....

Get yourself on a discord stock alert group and use the hotstock app to be notified of card drops , I could have had a Msi Game Trio at £2500 numerous times but as i already had a preorder in place didn't bother with them . No need to overpay just need to be patient and be ready when you get notifications.

hahaha he generally all over the shop

but on this occasion OCUK staff are laying low

 

[Sleepy Stu]

So the Palit on launch day was £2300 now today they get a restock and it's jumped to £2700 scalping at it's finest!

 

[Jono8]

It won't be long until the 5080 is permanently in stock imo and it'll probably end up under msrp.

That will happen with all the 5xxx series cards.

Give it a few months.

 

[Nitefly]

Anyone tempted on cancelling their 5090 orders and going for a 5080 Astral? It’s almost the same money so that means the same amount of spending gratification, right?

 

[ewozza]

yes thats exactly what happened, got confirmation late evening from DPD and card got delivered yesterday afternoon.

5080 MSI ventus 3x, installed, very happy, very quiet, 0 coilwhine.

A week ago I ordered from OC at Friday 14:00 ish for my Gigabyte 5080. It shipped overnight and was with me in the South England Saturday Afternoon even with Next "Working" Day delivery with DPD. Was super quick

 

[Major774]

To be honest, these prices help to drive away the scalpers, but I just hope the retailers start to drop the prices when they see sales are still sucking
