This launch sure is a test of patience but I'm not that worried myself. I only ordered late on the 18th so my estimated queue number is in 4 digits, but I knew full well that I'm in for the long haul.

Price is locked so fix a drink, hands behind head and with a bit of luck it will be here before Cyberpunk. (and with more than a bit of luck I'll manage to snap a FE beforehand)

Fair enough. Annoying to see the eagle shipments not coming in, wish the UK would have a bit better distribution in these dark times.

I know its to keep customers happy but why on earth do retailers say " we are only getting 3 or 4 shipped in " surely that would frustrate folk more than settle their nerves. :D

They can't win.

They say nothing? Complaints about no info, other people will sometimes receive a card, other customers pick up on that and start complaining even more.

They say they get loads of stock? Complaints from customers about not receiving anything despite the supposed stock.

They say they get very little? Complaints they're saying they're only getting a few shipped in ...

I just fully finished my new build... just sadly staring into the void that should be filled by a nice 3080 and F5ing my life away. xD

Mine did the same when I ordered last week, it came through the next day.
 
Its still Covid, I'm working from home, this waiting and lists and uncertainty is all good stuff to pass the time. I wonder if I will miss it next year when my card arrives?

That's not voting with your wallet. That's cutting your nose of to spite your face.

Let's face it, people are over a barrel here.

This. Cancel and you lose any chance of getting a 3080 this side of xmas. Keep it and you're minus +£650 for an indefinite amount of time.
It's about the only thing I've ever pre-ordered that I had to pay full whack up front for.

Wow that sounds really nice! I've got the 10700K with 16gb 3200mhz (figured for now that was enough? Dont know whether I should get more...) and of course no GPU... Got the noctua nh-d15 to aircool it and have to say im really impressed. Also the case is a corsair 275R Airflow. Quiet but deadly ;)
