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

[antixtreme]

RTX 5090 Founder Edition 1:1 Replica -Insane Details, Movable Cooling Fan, I had to stop myself buying one. Well done that scalp hunter.

I see another one only 30, better colour even with gun metal black frame

 

[antixtreme]

Just had a notification on 5080 fe being in stock, clicked on it straight away and they’re gone. I was instant, how do they go that quick

I heard the notification, could not see the link. So quick

 

[ombadboy]

Damn.. Other place must've received 10 TUF 5090 OCs. I went down from 14 to 4. So looks like I missed the first batch. God knows how long we'll have to wait for the next one!

 

[Steves1982]

I clicked the instant the alert sounded and all gone.

 

[djjuk]

I also got the 5080FE. The only one I wanted was so happy with that.

 

[Zigwig]

Im on queue number 7 on the other one for the Gigabyte waterforce since Feb 7, has not moved at all unsurprisingly. I suspect this will probably take the longest one from all the AIBs to start trickling down to consumers. In the meantime I've been making offers on eBay FEs at MSRP or 10% over MSRP max. Scalpers engage in scum behaviour no matter what way you look at it.

I'm using an older Corsair RM850x that doesn't have the new 12VHPWR connector, am I still good to go with the 5080FE just using the adaptor it comes with?

 

[maddness]

damn, lots going on today

Yep you will just need three pci-e cables from the unit.

There's been like what 5-6 drops of the 5090 so far?

 

[john_smith]

1st time i've managed to get a card in my basket. Not paying the prices but it's interesting to see how quickly they are going.

The one just now at 2250 is starting to get into the ball park.

 

[Rawr]

Well seen inno3d and gigabyte 5090s today so thats two more off the list I haven't seen drops for. Still missing Zotac though, the one I'm waiting on, typical, lol.

 

[Rogueywon]

Kinda wish I'd hung on for an Inno3D, as I really, really liked their 4090. I'll stick with my place in the Palit queue, though.

 

[0121danwilliams84]

All these drops are like 1 card at a time though aren't they, drip feeding perhaps, or more likely a small batch at one store. <10 or something.

 

[john_smith]

100% suppliers are holding back. If they had 100 they would be silly to release them all when you can just add a couple every day @ £3k+. It keeps the demand high.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I managed to get a 5080FE in the drop today. I originally wanted a 5090, but to be honest I'm not that annoyed about spending half the amount of money and not having to upgrade my PSU. Plus I can cover a good chunk of the cost by selling my current GPU.

I can put the money 'saved' towards a new motorbike now

So long as your current cables have Type 4 printed on them then this Corsair cable should be a tidier way to power the GPU.

I have this PSU, which is no longer for sale as I assume it has been updated: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9-ca-267-cs.html

Will I need any extra cables for the 5080?

Is that cable you linked just for a cleaner install?

Just imagine if certain places were actually selling them on eBay instead. Let’s face it they would make even more money.

Places were 100% doing it with Hatchimals

 

[Steves1982]

I'm quite far out of the loop by the look of it.

I have a Corsair RM850x Plus Gold PSU.

Anything I should be aware of if getting a 5090?

Should I look to upgrade the PSU?
