A couple days a go it seemed like Palit were the ones to go for in terms of low orders and they were doing a comparatively decent job at regular deliveries. Without more official info it's super hard to say

I'm with those people who are asking for more information, a bit more transparency would help, there has been some updates in the delivery thread but not many.
To those moaning about pre-orders, the bottom line is that these pre orders are queues, they give you the opportunity if you want it to pay up front and be put into a queue which guarantees that when there's stock you get yours as fast as possible. If you plan is to wait not only will you have to wait for the preorder queue to be finished shipping, but you'll also have to fight over what little stock is on the store after that which will be no doubt be snapped up regularly for some time to come.
If you don't like the circumstances around the pre-order then just cancel for a full refund. Or just suffer the wait with the rest of us, you can talk about competitors all you want but you're not going to magically goto one and get a card faster, all of the stores are bingo on stock and many are running pre order queues.
But still, any more info on expected warehouse arrivals in the near future for the cards would be good. Or an update from the manufacturers themselves on what to expect. Just to help prevent us from going stir crazy! That'd be nice

Same here dude, I just wasn't sure whether to get a Zotac AMP Holo or not cause there's no way I'm paying almost £900 for a 3x8pin Zotac Card. I really want to go MSI as It's a good price for a great card just not sure when I'll get It.
I get that, I'm on the fence about cancelling my zotac pre order (I'm 38 in the queue on the unofficial) and going for an aorus or strix. Zotac have me a bit worried

Yeah dude same here just means we'll have to wait longer for getting the cards It seems! But If Zotac actually put a statement out that they will fix It all and stated what the differences are In each card and they were good I'd be straight at It.
They haven't though, they addressed an RGB issue quicker which makes me believe they dont want to fix it. You can sell more AMP's that way

Followed the twitter thread, very well done Rob..
We need to push on all fronts to get some understanding of timescales....
They purposely restricted the performance of one of their lower cards to make the top, more expensive card look better.
You don't think so? I think it gives you a good idea about what to expect (or not to, in this case). Unless you imagine the UK/Europe is gonna see better volume than the US? Listening to the interview with Tony Tamasi he's saying it takes about 6 months from the time they place an order with a fab and until some cards get put together. Basically if you're not super serious about stalking these sites then don't expect much in terms of finding one before the next big order gets going (in this case January/February).
