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

I don't see what everyone's up in arms about. With a volatile exchange rate putting the prices up i.e. hedging is the sensible thing to do. Imagine if there were 1000 orders at a price that was no longer economical, OC would have had to take a loss on everyone of those. The fact that no one else put prices up is immaterial, perhaps they had an FX hedge in place protecting them? Perhaps the orders wouldn't have been honoured at the lower price?

No one forced anyone to buy at the increased price.

yes so the price will change again at 3pm like Gibbo said ?

Depends on the market and who blinks first, current instructions are we can take the hit. If the rate drops lower and stays lower that may change.

I can't honestly see the dollar getting above 1.44 anytime soon, so anyone looking to buy should just jump now. Or accept you're waiting a few months, or paying more. Of course, currency speculation is not for the faint hearted, so just do what feels right :)
 
not enough, if any - i was told by customer services that they were delayed until next week

Great.....looks like it will be over a month then eh. if i didnt have a black and white build with a big window i would have jumped ship 2 weeks a go and got a founders.....1st and last time i choose EVGA, poor.
 
I thought the price will change at 3pm mmmm

That was the plan!

I am back on UK soil, just landed, I am going to head to office and sort the pricing properly so bear with us guys as my aim is to pretty much restore the prices where I can, just be patient all shall be sorted in a few hours. :)
 
and just like that, prices are back to normal. Good move OC :)

Ah good I did say just revert until I am in and let's wait until 15:00 and I shall then review of very single product manually yes all 1500 of them and adjust those I absolutely have too but my plan is to try and hold all VGA card prices. :)

As the last thing I want is to increase any pricing and if the wait does not recovery I can check out a huge product manually and see that f we can soak it up or not before moving price. :)
 
Hi, any news on the inno3d card deliveries? waiting on the x3 specifically but have noted a few people chasing on the x4's as well.

That xmas tree is starting to look tempting!
 
I have no idea guys I just got of a plane and am now in a car, will be sorting pricing, deliveries, etc when I get to the office later today.
