Following a phone call from a very helpful person had to change GPU due to no stock, had a choice of two manufacturers or could wait a number of weeks for more to become available but no set dates when they would be available. Chose the cheaper option rather than one that was significantly more! System to be built tomorrow

That doesn't sound very hopeful for those of us waiting for zotacs.

That's a bit annoying. Prioritising over people who paid well in advanced for those buying systems later and getting that delivered on time. I understand the business behind it, more profit but ethically wrong imo. But happy for you either way :p

Guess there's zero way to prove you should have priority. There's 2 queues, seemingly one of them is a second class queue and all that's guaranteed is that you get your card ahead of the other guys in the second class queue.

NVIDIA launches Verified Priority Access for GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 - VideoCardz.com

NVIDIA is doing ‘something’ to fix RTX 50 availability Better late than never. Perhaps NVIDIA knows that RTX 5090/5080 availability won’t improve in the near future, and they are tired of reading mean comments (and reviews) about how overpriced their cards have become. Perhaps they are just like...

Only US, but at least Nvida "seem' to recognise their issue? Hope for UK?
 
Pre order on other site went from "Awaiting Despatch Date" to giving me an ETA of it being dispatched in a day or two for 5090 TUF, when I asked their support they said it's not accurate and means nothing :cry: why did they change it in the first place
 
People have seemingly lost their collective minds over this generations release.

I don't understand who's buying them, or even buying the old gen, at inflated prices.

People need to just stop panicking into crazy FOMO.

You've had over a year of being able to buy any of the previous gen at RRP ( or even below in some deals).

If you didn't buy them and are waiting for the 5xxx series, why not just wait a bit longer till stock is abundant and you can get them for RRP!?

Madness. Is it PTSD from the 3Xxx release/the crypto boom?
