Maybe Zotac is too expensive for one "low end" 3080 but it's hilarious. If you ignore the price, the performance difference is literally 2-3 fps in most games in favor of the base 3080. It's still a powerful card.
 
All of these cards are monsters. I feel that the main concern comes from customers feeling that they want the full performance for the part they paid for.

I mean you cant argue with that.

You’re right, at the end of the day a 3080 is still a 3080 and it’s going to perform like one. Unless you’re crazy into overclocking or something you won’t tell the difference

Are you sure you didn’t incorrectly enter your number?
I’ve gone through the programme around 5 or 6 times at this point to see how consistent it is, I started off around 1240~ and today it says I’m 1142 so it’s what I’d say is within error margins.....:D

Yer this morning I was 14th, this afternoon 9th and this evening 14th again, it's a good idea but suspect a pinch of salt to be taken.

P.S. Plenty of salt around just dry the forums tears out for a free bag

I just feel there's a glass ceiling already in place with the Zotac. So knowing I can't really tinker with it and OC to gain better performance stings a bit.

Strix OC - for some reason I had it in my head that it wouldn't be so popular early on, but I look to be incorrect based on the logs we have. Then again, enthusiastic folk are the ones checking in here, perhaps?
 
I have tried a search of this thread only, Tried list, updated list but nothing, Im just wondering is there any way of showing where you are in the queue, I did submit my order number and time etc, not sure if it was added
Thank you in advance

Not exactly, Asus said on social media before launch that only TUF models were being stocked first - Strix stock not landing until w/c 28th September (so next week onwards). I also believe it was said to ONLY be Strix OC models, not non-oc.

Edit: Yep, found it here...

I know the feeling buddy. It's certainly not good.

So many people on these forums were saying that they would be going for the Zotac.... nearly everyone. Then after launch I saw that there were nowhere near as many folk waiting for them as I expected.

Doubt it works that well. The vendors are backed up, the higher end cards will be delayed more than the common folk cards, they sell more.
Click to expand...
This is all true, but the higher end cards yield more profit, and they will want to get them out as soon as possible. The limiting factor is binning the more capable chips, hence why there is more stock of base model cards available. If only 20% of chips make the cut for the "OC edition", and manufacturer does production runs of 1000 for example, they need 1000 high binned chips to start that run...

Looking at the numbers I’m now glad I mistakenly ordered the Strix non OC instead of the OC one. I’m only 120 in the queue for mine instead of 300 or so for the OC one.

See my above post #4348, you might change your mind lol

No good being closer to the front, if they aren't sending any and just the OC models to begin with :D
