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

[MieszkoT]

My queue position changed today from 35 to 25 for 5090 Solid OC and estimated dispatch yesterday from end of May/June to 2-3rd of April. It seems that things are definitely moving there... I paid £2299 for mine on 30/01.

I think you just snuck in on that batch My queue position dropped from 15th to 10th for that model with an early April ETA (instead of May June).

 

[Major774]

The stock situation is getting better for the 5080 models, I see more in stock and a mixed bag on pricing (some good, some ugly).

 

[gotenson5]

queue place update. 5080 queues are expected to be clear end of the month. 5090s nothing.

Is it the same block as the 5090? I don't actually know the MSRP of the 5090 version but sounds like it should be £2400ish.

 

[Gibbo]

5070's are now in stock from £529.99

 

[Awahwah]

Another big drop of Astral 5090 OC incoming in a couple of minutes.

Just when I was on a meeting.

i dont really understand where 450gpb extra coming from for AORUS GeForce RTX™ 5080 XTREME WATERFORCE.
surely wateblock can't be that expensive to make?! Alphacools Wb are 200gpb, and i'm pretty sure doesn't sell them at production cost, so where 250gpb coming from?!

 

[dualloop]

Another place beginning with N and ending in h have the

MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC in stock for £2999.99…​

Seems expensive for what it is

I guess it's a little less than that as I think the card underneath is essentially the Aorus Master. So they are perhaps charging 250-300 for the block which is high but not outrageous as some of the aftermarket blocks are close to £300.

I'd be happy with £2400ish for the 5090 version. Probably very wishful thinking though.

The longer they sit there unsold the better

 

[dualloop]

NGL, I was tempted but when it’s almost another grand compared to the zotac 5090 solid, there is no way I could justify it.

Insult to injury, someone is sitting on your money earning interest.

I'm ready to jump on the first card that comes in at £2400 or less, but those have been virtually illusory. My new 9070xt is serving me very well at present, but I'm positively repelled by the thought of buying another PC component for a while... I'd never buy one again, if I had the choice, after these abhorrant launches. This used to be fun, and I happily forked over money in the regular upgrade process. Now, I'm buying a 5090 so I don't need to deal with the absolute tripe and codswallop as much as for the performance.

Did you have to buy a 9070 because you sold a 4090?

 

[Rusty0611]

I’ve dropped 2 places in the Aorus Master queue in 1.5 months. Diabolical stock sourcing. At this point I’d rather they give me the option of paying more and just getting in the next batch rather than keep waiting. It’s just miserable. And I still don’t even have an ETA. Useless all round

 

[LeBeast]

If I sell my Gigabyte 4090 and the 5090 FE, the profit would probably enough for me to get an Astral 5090 at MSRP but it's probably too much hassle lol.

Coil whine or temps not to you liking on the FE?

It's actually not bad. But it just requires lots of airflow. I posted my impressions here, https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...cal-general-discussion.18985861/post-37721817

But the Astral has better safety features. The FE doesn't report even if there is a power delivery issue.
