Not many though to be fair. I've seen single digit number of people saying they managed to get a 5090 fe.

I got lucky with mine... simply came back at 2.40 refreshed page and was able to add to basket...
The weird thing was though when it went through to the part where you had to add adress... there was already some random company name and address from Portsmouth that I had to delete out and then add my own name and address..
I think either it was a cancelled order or a bot gone wrong. No idea why i was able to see that info, but bots more than likely got most of them.

Did anyone manage to buy a 5090 from OCUK?

Managed a pre-order of a Zotac Infinity, which hurt a little as it was over £100 more than the competitors, but it was a card I liked the look of so took the opportunity. TBH I've not seen/heard a single person say they got a 5090 from OCUK that wasn't a pre-order, implying that they had basically zero stock to offer the public.
 
I keep trying to gauge where I am in the queue compared to anyone else… my payment was authorised by the retailer at 15:40, having ordered it at 15:20.

Seems to have been a total crapshoot as others that bought at the same time had their payments authorised at 16:00ish… why so much later?!

For what it’s worth, I paid by Amex if that makes any difference.

Just seen that the other place offering preorders put up a live tracking section. I am 129 in the queue for a palit 5090. Took me ages to get payment confirmed. Doesn’t sound too high a number but may be if only getting small stock in. Anyone else seen this?

Yes just seen it now for my Asus Astral OC. I'm position 88. No idea how long that will translate to, but I appreciate having this facility at least.

from OCUK?
 
I'm trying to make sense of the 'blue bar' that is associated with the queue position. Not sure if it will move left to right or right to left....I wonder if it provides a view as to where you are in the queue relative to total pre-orders. Could just be there to look pretty also! :cry:

No - that only went on presale from OcUK much later and I was already back to work.

if it's where I preordered mine (the shop that sells the FE) my payment was authorised like an hour after I paid. also the date changed from 30th march to April after I paid, and they wouldn't tell me if my ETA was march or april.
Better be March or before. as thats what it was when I clicked...

Although in my order history it says it's being sent today. lol clearly it isn't.
How can a launch be so badly handled by everyone?

Interesting thanks. Order tracking is now live so if you check that, we can figure out if the payment authorisation time made a difference.

P.s. there is a difference between your email time and the payment authorisation time (you’d have to check web tracking).
