Just check your OcUK account. If the orders listed there then it’s safe.

Hi Sparx, yeah its listed and saying processing payment.
Probably means I will need to wait weeks until they get stock, ******* joke of a launch.
 
Ordered at 14:31. Got confirmation about 8pm last night. Website changed middile of the night to order received - not yet shipped.

Who knows
 
Harder than getting a loo roll after the covid outbreak :D

If I hadn't lucked out with a website slip up yesterday, there would have been no chance of me getting anything ordered yesterday.

Well there maybe a benefit to that scenario, if say we get good info on either Big Navi or faster/more vram variants of the 3080 then cancel that sucka and enjoy more choice :)

It maybe the case that there are stock shortages for everyone and all vendors for some time to come like into 2021 that would be the worse outcome imho
 
All websites were being hammered but I have to say OCUK was particuarily bad. I managed to get an order in on a competitor site reasonably easily (had it in by 14:06). I mean jesus OCUK website was down for most of the day!

Yup was pretty awful by all accounts, no matter where you ordered from!

Which model did you go for?

Terrible tbh, never experienced anything like it in all my years of gaming/tech.
Went for the MSI gaming X in the end, actually had a couple in my basket at the same time, took ages to delete them.

Yeah totally might just wait and see, if they say its going to be weeks will cancel and sit this one out and wait until next year when there is stock and more choices.

Nobody should ever talk about OcUK "price gouging" if they are the first to do the same thing themselves.

Nobody.

Bingo!! If you bought one with the only purpose to put it on eBay, then you're a grade A douche. You may as well join Isis and learn a thing or two from them on how to be a good person, because honestly even they have better morals!
 
I went to bed a bit disappointed by it all thinking I’d just wait a few more days for the dust to settle. Was woken up at 4am by one of my children so after he was back to sleep I had a quick look at OCUK site and ended up buying a MSI Ventus 3x OC. Decided on this one vs the Gaming X (mainly due to price and not wanting LEDs) and I could handle £60 over MSRP. Looking forward to it!
