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

[CauseanAffect]

Man, I thought I got my FTW when I saw this:



but when I checked, it was just another item I ordered which was shipped instead I am in the 2nd batch though so am still hopeful for next week!

 

[Smffy]

No update from Smffy yet, hope he gets it sorted.

So I spoke to them this morning, basically some thermal paste in the order was nowhere to be found in the warehouse so it was held up due to that. Ben @ OCUK just called back to confirm they are allocated and refunded the paste so the rest will arrive Monday as planned!

So it's all good it seems...

 

[Del-Dredd]

Good for you, nice to hear you getting card finally

Hi all, yesterday I caved, and in store I swapped my ftw order for a standard palit gamerock edition. Was told there were 40 cards unallocated, so I could walk out with it there and then. The 6 super jetstreams were allocated unfortunately. Service was very good, and before long it was in my PC and boosting to 1949mhz out of the box, eating up games for breakfast. I have no regrets, it's an awesome card. someone else can take 73rd in the queue!

Just a shame the gamerock was only £550 when you preordered your FTW.............

Well pailt/gainward and MSI make better 1080s than Asus so I dont blame people for picking them

I would have changed to the Gainward already if it wasnt 2.5 slots wide (I plan to SLI)

Starting to wonder when the 1080 Ti will come out. Might just cancel my orders altogether.

Yep, that's true but I weighed it all up and decided to do it anyway. I think it was pretty good value for what it was anyway. There was that pressure to wait because the original price for the FTW would be honoured, but now i'm off to play games on my 1080. can the people waiting on cards say that?

Good to hear mate.

Good to hear mate.

Still doesn't say shipped but it's time to relax with a barbecue, beer and the F1 quals... The GPU can wait

And then start this whole game again from the beginning?

I'm sure the email will come late afternoon.

Paid OCUK ~1300 quid via PayPal - Debit Card, not PayPal credit - for Xtreme PP and Xtreme, 3 weeks ago. Only reason I used PayPal is my bank like to decline my debit card on large orders, despite calling them multiple times to sort that out. PayPal, however, is never declined by my bank.

Anyway. Xtreme PP is at OCUK HQ, allocated to my order. Xtreme will be another 2~ weeks.

Due to paying with PayPal, OCUK "can't" split the order (i.e. send me the PP first) without me spending even more money (700~) to be refunded at a later date, as well as losing my place in the queue for the second card.

You live and you learn, I guess - don't use PayPal for multiple item orders!

 

[imfrostee]

yeah, sure makes it harder to switch.

As long as you have another card to use while waiting, you're fine. People who sold their cards and have nothing however ...

Person who sold his old card, reporting for duty. Got high hopes for Monday.

Sold my 770 on 4th June Been sitting with no games to play for over a month now

 

[thedozyone]

Just heard from customer support. Looks like no Strix cards arrived so I'm still 110th in the queue

 

[10kgigawats]

ASUS are really having trouble :'(

I've been waiting 42 days.

1080 STRIX OC.

£620.

You are exactly 100th in the pre-order queue for this card. (07/07/2016 11:40)

 

[CrazyArsedMonky]

You guys waiting over 40 days should just switch to a different model. Who knows how long you'll have to wait. Asus seems to be extremely slow this gen? MSI Gaming X 1080 would be my second choice or if you look around a EVGA SC.

This absolutely, just to send a message if nothing else! However, myself and quite a few of the moaning ASUS crowd are on a £620 pre-order, which, as a scotsman is worth being patient for.

Someone mentioned ASUS GPUs not being great, in my experience they have been awesome. I am still running a 670GTX and it still runs anything i throw at it (except Ashes of Singularity thinking about it) quite well.

I just hope it is worth the wait and the bad PR is not making them rush an unfit product, as that would be the final nail in their coffin!

Scotsman here too so it's far too much trouble (and money) to change to another gpu. At £620 the strix is a steal but the wait is killing me slowly Also has a gtx 770 and it worked excellently for me until the day I sold it!

My 1080 FTW turned up a few hours back. As hoped for it's amazing, everything maxed on 1440@60.

For those still waiting, hold on, it's worth it!

 

[Serial45]

Lmfao just as I get my ftw edition delivered Today. I've just got a dispatch notice from Amazon for the Asus 1080 strix. Considering the price I paid for the strix (£589)is £20 less than the ftw edition from Overclockers I think I'll keep the strix!
Isn't it slightly hilarious that Amazon have got the strix in before ocuk? The power of these .coms!!

Either that or sell it, even with all the fleabay fees these cards are going for a premium.

Awesome!

My EVGA 1080 FTW comes Monday. My Acer 3440x1440p ultra-wide will be perfect
