Look this pallet was the hole delivery for the hole planet. Goods gone - Topic over.
Not the first time I post this below a "graphic card is not available" topic.
I'm green - I'm rare - you should have to wait 15 years to get one after an order. So please be patient. Color nvidia green.
(Some
filtered"quality - unbiased" media claimed that maybe someone had to wait 15 years for a car delivery after an order)I. Specifics, numbers! How many 5090s were sold, how many 5080s were sold. How many units were available? People are not interested in the number of word searches or refreshes of website, but how many (in thousands, numbers!) were sold! :D
II. Since the RTX 4090 has not been on production several months, people who need the most efficient cards with a lot of memory have no choice.
Production of the RTX 4090, 4080 ended a few months ago, the availability and prices of even the 4080S have worsened.
In the case of phones for example - we often have the iPhone 15 Pro Max on sale at the same time and a new series is coming out.
At the same time, we still have the Samsung Ultra 24 and 25 Ultra or the iPhone 15 and 16. Both from the manufacturer and in electronics stores or here PC.
III. The difference is that the requirements of games growing all the time (UE5, RT, PT). You can wait before buying which is rational for example, until the release of gpus from other price ranges, AMD.
However, if AMD says that it will not produce/fight for the fastest gpu in the near future, both Nvidia and the buyers know that they are faced with a situation - we have no competition vs. I want the fastest card, I theoretically have one choice.
After the premiere of the RTX 5080 and how poorly it is doing, how small the increase is, it is strange that AMD gave up because it seems that catching up with the RTX 5080 would be much easier than before. RTX 3080 lose to RTX 4080 ~ 33%, RTX 4080S to 5080 just 9%.

RX 7900 XTX 8% to RTX 5080. In fact, it seems very easy, trivial, an improved RX 7900 XTX, overclocked by AMD would do that. But the key issue is improving performance using RT by Radeons.

Nothing wrong with a few months wait, its far superior to waiting for a unannounced 30 second window to order.
Edit: oh some 5090s are up for pre-order, my page can't have loaded properly the first time. End of April seems to be the earliest ETA though!
But I do see pre order for 5080s so thats something, really though there should be unlimited pre orders for every SKU, thats how you clear the demand. Then the retailer also knows exactly how many they need to order as well, everyone wins.
Hiding order buttons makes human nature want it more, so increases demand.
Looks like AIBs prioritising the premium SKUs.
"5080" on scan lists a bunch of 5080 with pre order available.
"5090" lists a bunch of 5090 with notify me available, but then clicking on more will list a bunch of pre build PCs that include a 5090 available for pre order, about £4000-5000 each.
Forget about selling 100 video cards for the whole world. And forget the scalpers.
Why don't you do a Global online auction for all the cards they have. That way, only the riches of the rich can auction all their money. This way, nGreedia can become the first 10 Trillion $ company within an year!
And they should do that for all their new video cards releases. Why waste time and effort shipping 10 cards/store, instead of actioning online all of them at once?
Money is the new GOD. Greed is the new Bible.
You're welcome!
