Don't forget people, this calculator doesn't have everyone's order BUT
It doesn't include the 100s of cancellations either

Very true, as soon as the official queue tracker is up and live (whats the betting that'll crash upon launch) we can all have a much better idea what is going on

I was amazed to see even tiny channels with not great content getting 3080 FE cards during the embargo period

Yep

 

[WesleyBurns]

Oof... That sounds painful

Lol

What have you gone for?


I'm 61 in line for a Gigabyte eagle. Not too bad.

Managed to get the order in at 2.29.

With DLSS on though With DLSS off i suspect the 4k rtx max settings to be only 20fps on a 3080.

You'd be bigger the fool to think RTX will have progressed that much in one generation, to the point of not needing DLSS.

I dont get why everyone is so desperate to get hold of these cards, especially watching cards like the Gigabyte Eagle soar over £70 upwards in price for something that looks like a brick. Performance might be great, but completely overstated how good they actually are and they aren't cheap or a bargain (only when comparing to the Turding flop).

Gigabye gaming oc 158 in the queue, I'm quietly hopeful for next week or the week after

Because my 1080 is nearly 4.5 years old and I'd like to upgrade it?

 

[SniperSmithy]

If the stopped fishing all the cards to reviewers we may actually get one.

Yeah, every man an his dog got one on YouTube. It's pretty agrivating to see when paying customers can't get their hands on one.

Is this why it's now a paper launch because Nvidia just sent everyone on youtube a GPU to become a hype man?

Ok, good stuff. Fingers crossed!

Probably to do with the fact that Pascal is getting old now and the 3080 has far superior performance to even a 1080ti. Also you're getting above 2080ti performance for the same/less price as a 2080.

Very sure, I ran it multiple times, several versions of it infact. It's consistent alright, just consistently placing me over 1000 behind you in the queue It may not mean much though, we really don't know how OcUK are approaching this yet, well unless I have missed something this morning which is a strong possibility as I haven't had a chance to catch up yet.

To be honest, I don’t hold much faith with the unofficial queue counter anyway (although I appreciate the creators efforts). There are too many variables to take into account.

 

[Connorw97]

Inno3D ichill X4 #13 in queue so I'm hoping I'll get mine soon

I'm still using a 970. It's gotten to the point where it's having a hard time with many games, but buying a 2080 would be a waste because I can get the 3080 in a few months for the same price. At the same time, I'd rather not sit on this 970 for too long because it really does struggle these days. So knowing that a 2080 is a waste but having absolutely no idea when I can get my 3080 despite it being released really is quite frustrating.

I get that, but I dont get the desperation to be utterly gouged by e-tailers... Dont get me wrong, I want one too, but I'm not handing over 100's above the £649 touted price.

 

[SniperSmithy]

Why do people keep mentioning this game? 3080 will be way overkill for it. Recommended card for it is 1060 6Gb.

Yeah those specs are probably fine at 1080p 60. Most pc gaming enthusiasts will be aiming much higher both for resolution and frame rate.

Edit: not to mention raytracing!

Because I sold my card mid-August and I’d like to play some games!
I’m also worried I won’t have it for the 19th of November...

Why are you assuming we paid over the £649?
