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

My pre-order from another vendor (2-12 week wait) just resulted in a 2nd email confirming payment taken, however the estimated delivery time on that email is 31st Jan-4th Feb! I know it is wishful thinking, but I wondered if they had stock afterall. Anyone else pre-order from elsewhere with an expectation of May and receive the same via email?
Same. I checked out at 3.20pm and received the second email at 4.58pm. Long or short wait at least I can relax and wait for the thing however long it takes. Best of luck to everybody.

Order itself just 1 minute earlier.

Check on the order tracking page and theres dates on there. No idea how accurate they are. Apologies, i cant be more specific than that because of rules........ :rolleyes:

Think we're on different pages regarding which outlet we ordered from, nevermind! Feel free to DM for clarification though - thanks chaps

//Edit - right as I say this I get a payment authorised email saying 31st Jan - 4th Feb lol. Fingers crossed but think I'm huffing the hopium here.

I 'think' I pre-ordered on OCUK within a minute or so of the pre-orders going live for the 5090, so hopefully early on the list for that, in addition to the order I made on the 'the other place'. Whichever one can deliver the quickest gets to keep the business.
I pre-ordered from OCUK too, out of curiosity what time did you pre-order yours? Mine was 17:07:21, but I just got off work so no idea if that was close to when the pre-orders went live
 
I think everyone seeing these estimated dates (myself included BTW) are getting swept up in the hype. I don't see any way those dates are corect (mine included). Take a chill pill, at least we have pre-orders in, so every cloud! Fingers crossed for all.

Yeah no chance they'll be here by 4th Feb.

That being said, I noticed the pre-order button is now missing from the other site on one of the cards I ordered - interesting...

likewise I have 31st Jan-4th Feb on email but if I open the order tracking I get 3rd of feb to 7th of feb both dates are fine in my book either way

As I said before, from personal experience the date on the payment authorised email is incorrect. Infact, the tracking on the website wasn't correct either. I was left in the dark until it shipped a month later when I went through a CPU pre-order experience with them.

I would not get your hopes up, and just be pleasantly surprised if it does come, haha.

..and now on OC as well. So at least it seems we'll be in with a fair chance of seeing something this side of Christmas :) lol
 
The Zotac Solid non-OC 5090 from the other site is the third cheapest 5090, after the FE and the Ventus. Also, I doubt Zotac will ship cards to OCUK before the other place, so most likely we'll get them at a similar time (even if it is April/May).

I think it worked out in the end, I couldn't get any day-one units, and I locked in one of the best prices. Hopefully it's not one of those situations where the pre-order is never filled ;)
 
I just talked to a customer service agent from the site that estimated delivery up until Feb 7th and asked it this is accurate.
His response was vague and says these are only estimates and could change but will be updated though email of it does.
He also said people have gone crazy for these GPUs lol.

They added models over time so they didn't all come in stock at once. Consequently it depends what you ordered. I think the first models started being added around 16:50
 
I managed to snag a Zotac from someone. The original estimated delivery was two weeks, but it now shows as between the 31st of January and the 4th of February—though that could just be a system update. It's frustrating that, yet again, Nvidia can't seem to sort out stock issues despite months of planning and preparation.
 
I got the same mail as you guys saying Feb 4th. But there is no way we are this lucky. I don't think I was faster then all the botters. I went to eat and came back and checked and saw pre orders were up so i ordered, but I don;t think I showed up the second they went live. But it says Feb 4th so one can dream right? :D

For what it's worth, my 'payment authorised' time was 15:40. In which case, you may not be in the initial batch... but you never know!

Yeah I went for a Zotac AMP (love that infinity mirror :p) - doesn't look like I was too far off then
