Probably because if nvidia made those those dedicated cards and the mining crashes, nvidia will be left with loads of usless boards and wasted GPU's they can't get rid of as no one else will want them.

RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
Does anyone know, if your order status is received but not shipped, is stock allocated at this point? Ordered CPU and mobo yesterday, all in stock, but noticed today the motherboard is now out of stock! Bloody typical. Really can't be bothered to spend the next 3 days on the phone trying to swap it
Yeah I seem to recall that being the case as oc doesn't have a 'picking' stage like others. Anyway like you say time will tell. Cheers
Linus Tech tips actually did a video on these cards back in 2019:

Parts arrived, just need that CPU now.
Went with a nice m-ATX B550M, 3 Noctua fans, 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz & 212 EVO.
Going to be a nice build.

Please let us know how it goes, I keep trying to be positive here to counter the negativity but the people that get good results don't say much! Maybe I need to change my view

certainly appears that way I wonder if they are outbidding rivals in order to secure stock?
well there is loads of stock now so no excuses for stupid pricing. funny thing is i just seen for example amd themselves saying get the 5600x for 280 everywhere on their official channels yet ocuk is charging £320. same with the 5800x .

Just picked up the 5600x for £280 thats a massive saving for me from £328 with postage from this scalper.
This is not the rain forest btw it's a huge retailer both instore and online before any one wonders why its sold for RRP
Not every retailer is out to fleece us so shop about.
Don't think for 1 minute this has ever been anything to do with exchange rates the difference there would be a couple of quid at most, it's scalping a loyal customer base who are silly enough to fall for their scalping tactics.

Something has really seemed to have stopped the delivery of all 5900x s it seems to me - or the manufacturers greatly underestimated demand
I been sitting in the other places que since release date and still have no idea when I should get mine.
I should have purchased one when they popped up on OCUK a few weeks back at £599.
I am still trying to find an ASUS RTX 3080 OC Tuf, which will most likely be priced at around £800+ when they resurface.
My Worst PC upgrading experience ever, and it looks like we have more PC part shortages to come.

The 5600X at OcUK has made an appearance on hotukdeals lol.
Yep still waiting on mine, low in the queue now but been weeks like this
What demand?
I see how news get away with moulding people poor judgement on a daily basis...There is no "huge demand" of overpriced CPU as there is none of GPU, I mean not going to hold an economics lesson but there are not even the metrics to judge a real supply and demand situation really, 5800x is horrible value and is the one with most stock whilst the other upper two are magically not available, do 1 + 1.

cpu yes but gpu you are wrong. bitcoin has rocketed. nvidia 3080 pulling in 135 quid a month.
