Second lockdown is coming, delivery lorries are backed up to funk at Dover, I think we are going to wait a while for our cards unless they come by plane..... lol
 
Henry Cavill, please threaten EVGA into sending cards with your guns of steel.

Surely Asus can drop a nice 4000 down in one plane load to OcUK?

Looks likely it wouldn't take long for an EVGA 3080 as they're the least popular maybe should order one of those too
 
Looking on reddit Nvidia listed some founders edition on their site at midnight in Europe - seems like there's going to be slightly more 'in the wild.'
 
Just checked allocated vs actual vram usage in BFV with my 3080 using the new afterburner beta. It shows using 5.2GB allocated but actual usage is 4.1GB of vram. So 20% less..10Gb is fine at 4k is my opinion until the 3080 can no longer handle 4K.
 
So my patience ended and I contacted the MSI UK team via Twitter (@MSI_UK) to understand the stock scenarios and possibilities of October deliveries.

OP to MSI: I had managed to order an MSI Ventus from Overclockers UK right at the launch hour on 17th Sept! Unfortunately, they are unable to give any sort of timeline for the delivery. As its an MSI card, I am trying to ask for your help to please provide a card/timeline/estimation of stock to help keep my hope alive.

MSI: Overclockers will be the only ones able to do that! We don't know where you are in the queue with them or what their dispatch times are.

OP: Thanks for your prompt reply... I am around #200 in the queue. How often are you providing them the cards.. what is the restock timings? Is it 10,20,50 cards per week? Should give an estimate for me...!

MSI: Again, Overclockers will have the best information on this. I have no insight into how their allocations work, their restock times, nothing at all. They will be able to tell you, not us.

OP: Understood. Overclockers themselves say they have no idea.. they are waiting for MSI.. it seems like an infinite loop. Can you tell me how many cards per week is MSI producing? Msi a million-dollar company and so is overclockers, but our £700 getting stuck for months would really affect people like me...Any Answers/hints/suggestions would really help keep the hope alive of a 2020 delivery!?

MSI: I really have no answers for you here, unfortunately. I don't have insight into the manufacturing process and any such insight would be pointless as the cards dispatch from there to global locations and retailers, to meet demand based on historical regional purchasing. Overclockers will have the latest updates when they are available that will also be pertinent to your specific order. I could tell you a million cards are being made per day, but unless 200 of those were specifically going to Overclockers on a specific day and being turned around on the same day and dispatched, that information doesn't help you at all. Do you see what I mean? I'm really sorry you have to wait, but if I had any information for you, Overclockers would have it too.

Summary, MSI - 'the manufacturer' nor OcuK - 'the seller' have any sort of estimation or timeline! Hoping OCUK can provide us the queue estimator otherwise it could be 2021 before we see the face of any card?
