** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

Ive had my Gigabyte G1 for just under 2 weeks now. Awesome performance. Initiallythe FPS was a bit low on older games but im getting around 120-150 fps on Overwatch on ultra at 1440p. Around 100 on GTA5 on ultra.

And the best thing of all is no screaming fan noise and no 95 degree temps making my room a sauna.

Something really funky going on with the queues then. I was 16th yesterday and now i'm 10th this morning. I can only imagine there is a seperate queue for system builds and less cards are being assigned to it :confused:

Yeah that doesn't sound right! What time did you check it was about 4:20pm when they said I was 28th. They may have still been shipping them out at that point.

well, Monday at 4:30pm i was told that all the cards for the day had been sent and I was position 16. Yesterday at 5:20pm I was told that all the cards for the day had been sent but wasn't given a queue number, even though I asked for one and this morning at 10:30am I was told I was 10th in the queue with an unknown eta for more cards.

Anyone else notice the 4th fan on the X4 or have we settled this one now, haha.

ben @ EVGA or anyone @ EVGA can we have some confirmation on when the first batches of FTW will arrive, I am 70-80 in the queue, can you tell me when I am likely to get the FTW, I am considering swapping for another card. If it is going to be early July then I will wait.

Just found out now I'm now 7th in the queue for FTW. I'm going to wait it out. Did hear the might be in near end of month or beginning of july which is nearly here. I should be first batch at least

I'm now 9th in the queue for the MSI Gaming X (up from 28th yesterday) but they say they're expecting the next shipment in the next 7 days but can't guarantee.

I was really starting to think I would get it by the weekend but it doesn't sound promising now!

I've just been told I'm 15th.

I was hoping to have it by weekend too, kind of disappointed now if we have to wait another week or so to get ours.

Until everyone with strix/other delayed AIB's jump ship and possibly force their way in front when Gibbo says shipment is in, now that'd suck.

I hope not. I've waiting since 27th right after 2pm so there shouldn't be that many behind me. Most of them jumped ship already

Yeah, im not too sure on this whole queue thing though. I ordered an MSI Seahawk within minutes of 1080's going live on the 27th May. 2 Weeks ago i changed my order to the EVGA Hybrid and told i was 40th in the queue. Sounds to me like i probebly just got pushed to back of the new queue.

You did. I did the same, ordering the seahawk originally (may 28th), then cancelling and switching to the hybrid (june 2nd). Was 16 in queue when i asked a few days ago.

According to Gibbo all msi gaming x 1080 pre-orders will be cleared this week. I will be very annoyed if I don't get my MSI Gaming X 1080 this week. I was 28th yesterday now I'm 18th. Only in England you pay £600 and join a queue for days to get your stuff ;)

But seriously the release of these nvidia cards is a total joke. 1080 was launched weeks ago amd OCUK, one of the biggest retailers, got only just over 100 msi gaming x 1080 since launch. That's a drop in ocean. Clearly nvidia sneaky attempt to sell their Flounders cards as people are desperate to get a card. Jm

Awesome. I just know there is a lot of talk on here that if you change product, you enter that new queues position based on the time you ordered your original. But it's conflicting. Some have, some havnt.

Question? Did the hybride exist as a pre order on the 27th?

Perhaps the place in the queue being transferred doesnt work if your order date was earlier than the product going live?

Eg order the sea hawk on 27th, swap today and go to the back of the queue.

Order the seahawk on the 2nd, swap today and go to the front of the queue for the hybrid?

All existing pre-orders at the time he said it. But if 500 people who ordered a Strix or FTW swap over to the MSI gaming then there wont be enough anymore.

yeah, I'm aware of that. which is why queue tracking info is pretty useless

Saying that, there hasn't been much action on msi gaming x 1080 front since Gibbo's update /100 last Friday

I think he said more were coming in Thursday and Friday. MSI has been the only company doing shipments daily. EVGA is the only company that hasn't sent one custom card yet
