Yep just got the email too lol was kinda expecting it honestly. My order was complete by roughly 14:05 and since the the orders are being fulfilled on a first come first serve basis, all I can hope for is I’m not waiting that long.
My 1080 will do me fine for another while

Right, so NVidia are hyping up a card half the price of the last generation flagship and good chunk faster than it and they don't expect big demand? Didn't leather jacket man also say something about it being safe to upgrade for Pascal owners? Yet they didn't expect a big demand? The stink of BS is rife.
Considering retailers have been told to keep their gobs shut about gpu numbers this launch seems even more shady than initially thought. It's like an Apple launch where they can proclaim "we sold out" yet you rarely hear how many of then product was initially available. Selling out of about 2000-3000 cards globally isn't much to shout about, no idea if that's even remotely close to the number available, for all we know it's much higher than inventory on hand.

Board partners apparently, somehow were not given enough time by Nvidia, so I guess whatever stock all the online retailers had in was literally all they could get their hands on.

I got my order in just after midnight. I’m going to be waiting until the 4000 series are out!
They could have sold FE variations with their own sticker on, they have in the past unless nvidia no longer gives them that as an option.

Damn man
Mmm I didn’t know about that or how that would work but I don’t think I would be happy with that, I paid extra for the MSI X Trio for a reason.
From what I understand, we might not even get these in October. I'm moving house in November so this may never turn up.....
More importantly if they do send it in October, the misses is gonna be home during the whole month so there will be no chance of getting the 3080 and Ultrawide that I ordered with it into the office without her knowing.

Mine arrived and finally installed, blasted thing is monstrous! Make sure to measure up guys, if I hadn't been able to move my pump/res down a touch the thing wouldn't have fit!
Forgive the potato pics my phone camera sucks!
Holy crap look at the size of it! You could recycle dead ones as house bricks!
