Aha I wasn’t intending to!

It was to do with the website timing out when adding the cards to the basket. I thought I’d added one when actually I’d added two. Obviously I could see that when I got to the checkout, but I could find the option to remove one. So I figured with the clock ticking and the site going so slowly it was either I order both or fall way back in the queue and get neither

I think a lot of us were in this situation, I ordered an ASUS TUF at 14:40 and paid but the website didn’t look like it had taken the payment as it crashed after I entered my card details.

As the website was entirely down or glitchy for ages I had no way of getting to My Orders to check, so I decided to risk it and checked out again with a Palit Gaming (as it’s the only one I could get to load) I put an order in for that at 16:35.

When things calmed down around 8:30pm I logged in and saw 2 orders went out, I called OC the next day and cancelled the TUF order as even though I was much earlier to order it was also significantly more popular as a card.

I suspect a lot of people were like me except rather than cancelling one of the cards they left both in their orders and hedged their bets, then they would cancel whichever one they didn’t get first.

All that being said, it’s still a good call from OC to ask people to cancel one. I’m just saying a lot of people probably had a similar experience to me.
 
I keep on hearing things that the non OC strix still isnt releasing for another month... I hope that is not the case otherwise I will order myself the Strix OC, it feels odd that we know the OC Strix is coming in stock late this week but no news on the Non OC strix... very concerned about that now

Same boat where I ordered the non-OC, I was lucky to even be able to order it with the site not really loading properly so decided to pull the trigger on it. Find it weird Asus launch the OC Strix first rather than non-OC but same time it is their "premium" card.
 
Ordered 4 different cards with OcUK from Palit, Asus, Gigabyte and Inno3D. The race is on!

Folk with multiple orders apparently being emailed and told to cancel all but one:

Well I got an email last night saying it’s now 1 per customer and that I’d have to cancel one, which given the circumstances is absolutely the right approach.

So hopefully this bumps a few people up in the queue
 
Do we have any idea of stock levels of 3090 from oc ? At £1500 we shouldn’t be seeing no where near the demand the 3080 did last week... any tips on Thur so I can bag myself one
 
How much money do you have?

It's for work, we're a video production company.

Folk with multiple orders apparently being emailed and told to cancel all but one:

Bummer. Other retailers seem to not have such a cap (when in stock). I get it but equally 4 isn't exactly wholesale quantities and I'm just going to order 4 when able. Happy to sit at the back of the queue if needed, just can't be bothered to be checking stock every day and re-ordering 4 times when able!

I am seeing if I can switch from the non OC to the OC Strix while paying the difference and still keeping my place in the queue as if I ordered the OC Strix at 15:22 17th September, the time I ordered the non OC... Wonder if they will let me
