CES 2025 is here and with it the NVIDIA RTX 50 Series announcements! So far, the GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 have been officially announced – but we’re still hopeful the full line-up is on the horizon.

Ordering an RTX 50 Series from Overclockers UK
The NVIDIA RTX 50 Series graphics cards are going to be in high demand. To increase your chances of getting one, we’ve put together everything you need to know about ordering an RTX 50 Series GPU from Overclockers UK.
Timeline:

30th January @ 2pm: 5090 and 5080 GPUs available for purchase
February onwards (TBC): 5070 Ti and 5070 available for purchase
Pre-Ordering and Purchase Best Practise
Summary:
- Limited to 1 per person
- Limited to UK only
- Checkout using Debit/Credit Card directly via the OcUK checkout
- DPD should be your preferred delivery method
- Download the DPD App, updating your preferences and information
- Join the forums and/or Discord channel for stock updates and information
- Do not reach out to customer service for more information, unless you have critical amends needed for your order
- If the product is showing ‘Out of Stock’, sign up for stock notifications via the product page and periodically check back as it will return as a ‘pre-order’ shortly
- Pricing shown prior to launch is inflated and TBC
Purchase Limitations: In order to give everyone a fair chance, we have limited stock to 1 per customer only. Sales are also limited to UK only.
Payment Method: Using a debit or credit card directly via the OcUK checkout is the fastest way of checking out and securing your spot in the queue. We have to wait for Amazon, PayPal, and other 3rd party payment providers to process your payment and confirm the completion before we can allocate the order, which can take at least 10 minutes for PayPal and 1 hour for finance.
Delivery Method: The delivery method you choose does not impact your place in the queue, however we recommend using DPD for high-value purchases.
DPD App: We recommend downloading the DPD app to maximise your delivery success by updating your preferences. Set a safe location, nominate a behaviour, and set your ‘what3words’ location should you live in a new build or estate, or a secluded area.
Pricing: Pricing displayed on site prior to launch date is purposely inflated as UK pricing is TBC. If sales occur during this period as a result of a technical glitch or exploitation, the order will be cancelled, refunded, and queue position lost.
Stock Availability: Stock shortages are expected at launch. Once initial stock holdings are sold out, products will show an ‘Out of Stock’ message whilst we allocate and pick the orders which were placed whilst they were in stock. Once this is complete, the products will return with a pre-order status and available for purchase.
Stock Updates: Keep an eye on the product page for the item you purchased or following locations for stock updates regarding your order if it was on pre-order at the time of purchase:-
If you have not bought a product and unable to pre-order, then please sign up for stock notification emails to be alerted as soon as stock is available to purchase.
Customer Service
To minimise response times for customers, we encourage you to not reach out about the following, as they are unable to advise and will only delay support for other customers:-
- DO NOT ask for your position in the queue
- DO NOT ask for stock status, levels, or ETAs (This will be communicated separately – see above)
- DO NOT ask for your purchased SKU to be changed to another. Your order will be cancelled and a fresh order placed, resulting in your queue position being reset.

Sneak Peak of an RTX 5000 Series in Action!
Loads of tasty game trailers were announced at the Game Awards 2024. The one that caught our eye was for The Witcher 4 – with that spicy watermark stating, “Cinematic trailer pre-rendered in Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU.” Could this be a taste of the performance we can expect on an RTX 50 Series GPU?
