Can I ask a seemingly obviously question, what games are you all planning on playing with the new cards. I've the amount of people selling 2070 supers and 2080tis suggests it can't be about performance increases from much older cards. I would hazard a guess that the majority of people won't be looking to go 4k, feels like what you have now will still be more than adequate for what you need for the next 3 months, the crazed panic buying here has caused this issue and promotes bounce bot scalpers and in turn everyone complains about supply shortages at launch. Bananas.

Can't speak for others but it's a pretty damn big upgrade for those of us who skipped the 20xx series. My 1080 has served me well but it's starting to show it's age and my ego won't allow me to turn down settings... :p

Plus RTX and DLSS screens of Cyberpunk 2077 look damn sexy.
 
I think we can only sit tight at the moment until we get more of an idea about stock coming in for each card. The script could then be adjusted to give more of an estimate on wait times (unless stock intake is unpredictable for a given card, which is likely). We really need more information at this stage, and the ball isn't in OC's court right now.
 
I am quite low in the Zotac queue, 7 according to the calculator. I also Have a MSI trio ordered else where which I managed to order at 14.19 so I might be quite low there also. If the Trio comes first, I would be happy to sell my Zotac for what I paid if anyone is interested, otherwise I am just going to return it.
 
Hey @Gibbo, appreciate keeping us informed so far.

Are you doing anything to prevent scalpers from nabbing your stock next time? if so, what are you doing?

I see some competitors are starting to implement Captcha, etc.
 
You picked ASUS TUF OC
In your card selection queue number: 553

Yaay - I'm screwed :p

What sort of time did you get your order through? ...I also ordered a TUF on Thursday 17th but I have not received an email from OcuK still with an order number so I only have the OC one from the website, I might be able to make a a very, very rough guess knowing your time.

17th at 21:34 - I couldn't access the overclockers website before that time - I was one of the unlucky ones in that way :/

I managed to add a FE on Nvidias website to the cart when checkout crashed half-way through on me -.-

Thanks for that, I got my order in at 17:29. I did of course try numerous times earlier in the day but it crashed on me, once at the Paypal stage of completing the order even.
 
Also.. Does anyone know if they'll honour the price I have already paid? Got my EVGA Black at £699.98 and now it's at £749.99...

I mean not the end of the world paying more, just don't want them cancelling it and then I lose my place...

No whatever price you paid when purchasing, is the price you pay and have already been debited.

Price increases later have no effect on existing orders.
