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

Will there be any spares of the astral 5090 for sale?

Potentially yes.

Also will you be opening queue positions again?

Unlikely, we would rather not hold on to peoples money for weeks, potentially months in a volatile market, the world is extremely unstable, prices could drop massively or go up massively, too risky.

Lots of 5090s. Presume NVIDIA repurposing all the ai silicon which has much lower demand now.

Supply is very poor, I cannot see any reseller will have product listed in stock and available for days on end for probably another 2-3 months and am unsure if there will ever be a case where they are also in stock on shelf and easy to buy, like 4090 was, certainly not for months anyway, especially with more and more new cards incoming which production will shift too.

Though with EV car sales in decline, production may improve. :)

Thanks, I would pay that for that AIB card (SFF user here). It’s a hard one to grab because I think it’s not a scalped price by that retailer.
No it seemed to be a decent price and I’ve not seen any of the Inspire in stock since launch. I was incredibly lucky as it didn’t even show on the hotstock app, I was checking the site for something else, thought I’ll check 5080s and there they were. Was 2 drops from the looks of it a 6 and 13, so hopefully more are on the way.
 
Prepare for the wave ...

Jokes aside, loving this news, sadly I didn't buy this card, or from here. Maybe that other store will offer to shunt (similar level) buyers over to the other card if they also get big stock.
 
What's the retail on one of those?

A couple in stock today, I couldn’t pull the trigger at £1,269 in the end.

I will hold on my 5080 preorder at £1,067.

Remember prior to launch when we were gnashing teeth and rending cloths postulating that £2600 top-end cards would be outlandish? How young and innocent we were.

I recall the prevailing rumour around the time of Christmas being that an FE would set you back maybe £2.5k.

Just goes to show what a load of pointless clickbait gets shovelled by ‘news’ outlet!

Yup, I was like £2400 is steep for the Astral and then just last week I spent £2750 on a TUF OC :cry:
