When you get killed by someone in PUBG in Feb, there’ll be a little part of you in the back of your head that says “Damn I wonder if that guy managed to get a 5090 to get the edge on me there.”

PATIENCE - IF PLANNING TO BUY A 50 SERIES..........
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
500fps for that 3ms frame time will make all the difference.
Looking back at my order email now, I think one of the main issues was I used amazon payments. So the order went through, but maybe stock was allocated in the sequence that payments were processed, not the timeframe in which they were entered into the system.

No, because that was a huge upgrade over turing at decent prices and crypto was the no 1 issue, this isn't even close.

Artificial scarcity to drive up prices when there's no competition? Surely not......
@Gibbo I've reached out a few times and via CS (Which havent confirmed with any certainty) with regards to what is meant by UK in the pre order limitations.
Does it include Channel Islands, or other Crown Dependencies in Britain etc?
I really dont want to waste time trying if we are excluded from being able to order. If its a no that's fine, albeit disappointing, and I can focus my efforts elsewhere!

Sitting it out seems like a fine option, except the possibility the prices will shoot up past the launch RRPs due to shortages like we've seen with the 9800X3D (GBP vs USD exchange my buttocks).

Nvidia will sell their FE stock for MSRP and the AIB Partners and Retailers will profiteer to the maximum with a drip drip supply and when stock stabilises the prices won't come down

The cynic in me sees this as a brilliant reverse psychology card played by Gibbo. Could ocuk really have a large amount 50 series incoming but are playing the scarcity card to hype up the fomo in everyone, and the prices...
Yeah don't be flooding the used market with your 4090's and 4080's just yet kids, thus taking potential 50 series buyers from us. Brilliant!

It seems like plain old incompetence this time. I read a report that said Nvidia failed to provide the final bios in time to ship the GPUs for the launch date. Combined with launching at the start of Spring Festival which is a holiday period in China and Taiwan, so things will move slower anyway.
