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

Afraid nothing 100% yet.

Jeez, so 4 weeks on from preorder and we are still at the "nothing 100%" stage yet, and i am STILL nearly £700 out of pocket.

I know guys will say "well, you shouldn't have jumped the gun or (insert remark here)", but when OCuk use a placeholder of 17th June and Ben knew well before this date it wasnt going to hit then, but left us teased with it as an ETA. That kinda sucks.
 
the inno3d x3 does look nice but no sign of movement on any of the forums i'm stalking. I hate to think how many times refresh has been used to find out just a little info. I don't really want to chase CS as they could be diverted from sending mine out by my query!

The 1080 that I ordered yesterday has gone down in price by £15 - how does that work!? Will OCUK honour the price reduction seeing as I haven't even received the order yet?

Call them. This has happened to me previously and they refunded me the difference. Not saying it is something they will 100% do for you, but it is my experience they are fairly decent with regards this. Would like to think more so given the mess of this release!
 
I have been waiting weeks for the Classified then I moved my pre-order to the MSI Sea Hawk X and I have been waiting 2 weeks for that. All that time I have been playing no games and getting rather ****ed off. Have I to continue to play the waiting game or jump to a FE card. If I manually overclock am I missing much anyway?
I am so frustrated that Overclockers have zero news on any card whenever I call them.

Proof or just your opinion?

Oh come on, fanboys still defending EVGA on every turn they make? PROOF, Gibbo said days before the 17th there is "No chance" of it being in stock then, read this thread for your "proof", but still decided to leave placeholders up. Jacob at EVGA kept on teasing on twitter with "end of June", now Ben gives us "nothing 100%". You think a company taking millions in preorders didnt know until the 16th June that the Hybrid wasnt going to be with OC by the 17th?

Jesus these 1080's are ridiculous... I just read here 5 mins ago "zotac amp extreme in stock now", looked on the site it said "2 in stock", then I took literally about 3 minutes to look at the specs of the zotac amp card... went back to site... "OOS" this 1080 launch is insane they need like 3x the amount of stock that they have currently.

3x? Try 30

Hi guys

Im back as well in the UK and can confirm the above is correct.

Mid/late next week SC and FTW cards on GTX1080 and SC on GTX1070 will land with major UK clients.

Any ETA on the Hybrid? I know nothing for certain right now but do you have an estimate? Early/mid July?
 
I don't think brands like EVGA or MSI can be blamed.

It is mostly Nvidia not giving them enough parts I expect.

But meh I have a feeling that over the next 1-3 weeks there will be a lot of cards and it will be ok.

I think next time I get a card I will just wait a couple of months until everything is sorted and then just get one no problems or waiting!

Completely agree, but if EVGA and OC had updated the ETA to a legit date early on, when they quite clearly knew, i wouldnt have held out clawing at every update. Now it's got to the point where many chances have been and gone for another card, but EVGA keep throwing bait with "end of June" on twitter. They certainly sold me.
