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

Been keeping an eye on prices for my 4090 on CEX (where I would prob sell mine over ebay) and noticed they are offering more now than the 5090 launch date.
If I wanted to buy a used 4090 from there, they are wanting £250 more than I paid for it new over 2 years ago!
My 3090ti has gone up by £40 on there which is nice as I've not chopped it in yet. Once again the lazy and disorganised approach pays off for me!
 
With AMD about to launch the 9070, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sudden influx of cards and a steady decline in prices.

NVIDIA have effectively shutdown consumer GPU production. Even the early shutdown of 40-series cards last year supports the theory that every resource is being put into AI by any means necessary.

Looks like queue place updated the ETA for my Zotac 5090 Solid Non OC to 2025-03-19 some time after the 5:30pm update. I guess Zotac is starting to let retailers know when shipments are being sent now.

Is this overclockers or the other competitor with a queue? My ETA is still June at the other place.

Which is really not surprising as we are talking about 7% (and shrinking) of gaming revenue. They had a choice of produce more, sell cheaper, clog production capacity vs produce much less, sell more expensive and still get same revenue whilst freeing up resources for actually profitable production. No brainer for NVIDIA, really.
 
Gigabyte Aorus Master 5090 just dropped for £2499.99 - Sold out instantly.
They have an email notifier that actually tells you when an item will get in stock before it actually happens on the website by about a few mins, that's how people knew and it was instantly gone lol.

Does overclockers have a queue system? I do not have any ETA or queue number for my 5070ti from OCUK

No they don't.
They just have a pre-order system but they also didn't take anywhere near the same amount of pre-orders.
The other company have taken in the 400's on some cards if not all cards - Some of those people won't be getting one this year.

Ah okay makes sense. So I guess the 2-6 week estimate is all we got to go off?

I don't know how many pre-orders on each card OC have taken but Gibbo has stated they stopped taken them when they had achievable numbers.
The other place took absolutely hundreds so they could gain thousands a day in interest - I have seen some people state they are 4 hundred something in a couple of the queues - Surely there is no way these people will be getting them this year.

The Inno3D 5080 OC is currently listed for £1280.. but the non OC one (not in stock) is listed for £1300. This doesn't seem correct..

It's getting to the stage where you wonder if they should/ could spool of the Geforce brand and sell it off so that they can fully concentrate on AI and enterprise solutions.

The 50 series has been absolute hilarity.
