Ordered strix oc, demand shouldn't be as high as it is for others cards, don't you think?

Idm the wait but im worried about email confirmation, should have received my order confirmation email by now :/

I ordered on launch day and it took a few days to receive my email confirmation, so it could still be the same. I also ordered a strix OC

Could be waiting for payment to clear. Have you used the unofficial calc? Will give you a very rough guide of how many ahead of you.

I tried to but i need order number which is found in order confirmation email, so im just waiting for the email.

I really don't think it will work for an order placed now - it's based on an order period where nearly all orders were gpus, and we can guess at the percentage of that total queue was each card. Orders placed now are not at all predictable, and I would suggest (for any order not placed on the 17th-18th) completely ignoring the unofficial queue.

FWIW, we've estimated a pretty large queue for the Strix OC - and given that it's not had unit one dispatched yet, you're probably looking at a decent wait time.

I ordered the STRIX OC on launch day and im not expecting the card to come until mid October at best

50th in the unofficial queue

Depending on the card, you could have a long wait. They've been taking pre-orders since launch.

They must be one of the only ones still taking preorder as I've looked at a few others and they have turned off the ability to order.
They must be supremely confident they can supply any outstanding orders in a reasonable time or don't care knowing they can't order anywhere else.

The fact they can't even tell us what orders they're expecting would have me worried if I just pre-ordered.

Yup And If i had order pass 19.00 on 17th I'd not expect to get card this year. Maybe for Xmas MAYBE

Well, I've generally worked on the backend systems. But I've worked on interfaces from accounting/logistic backend systems integrating with webshop systems.

These "standard" webshops (as in not in-house stuff) can be customised beyond recognition. If that is the case adding the feature into the standard system might not be so easy. Which might explain why there's talk of emailing queue position.

Looking at what comes from the website I think I've identified which one they use. Not going to say which one here, anyone that knows how to look can see for themselves. As such, it might not be "that" easy to add the queue to this software. I've not worked with this particular product myself. So, can't comment on how easy it might be.

At any rate. While it would be nice to know how far back in the queue I am. I'm not THAT bothered by it. I mean I'd like to get one by November. But understand that might not happen based on demand vs supply. Certainly I don't feel the need to pressure the company to provide such queue information.

As long as you have access to the database it sits on you don't need to modify the web shop in the slightest, you just need to hardcode a brand new page which interacts with the database to do a count for you, literally all you need is the database credentials to connect with, that's all. All that requires is understanding the back end schema, what tables are in there and where the data is stored, then how to join the tables to get the information you want. Even if you had no idea of the web shop schema you could infer/learn it in like 30 minutes, most systems like these even very old ones tend to have pretty sane schemas that are easy to read. Remember all you're doing is doing an SQL select which is counting the results of a query, you're not integrating, updating or changing anything in situ, you can do a completely new page in the account section for this easy.

Work in IT as well :p
I'm guessing here that they're not trying to rush things - as its probably an older system, and possibly they're not working on the website etc in-house, it takes time to go through the dev cycle.
We work with quite large organizations - to implement something as simple as an additional button on navigation it can take over a week - User Stories -> Dev -> Test -> QA -> Release Window Opportunity.
User Stories and Dev take the shortest time.

Yeah I mean this is the kind of cycle you'd have for some new major uodate to ensure it rolls out safely. But you don't do that for a single new page which has a single feature which is simply a text field that is the result of an SQL count on the database. Just can just write that, dump it into the account page and you're done, no need for a release window or a user story, it's pretty much the simplest feature a web dev could ever write, to return the result of a single query to the screen.

For the record, I am patient, I've not bothered CS other than to have the address changed on my preorder as I was rushed to hospital for an emergency operation and ordered the card to a friends house while recovering on the ward, luckily now I'm out. But many people have done, some claiming they'll call or leave web notes every day until they get an answer, so it's kind of in their best interest to sort this out ASAP, if nothing else to give some relief to their CS. This isn't my first rodeo, I've been buying video cards for 20 years, I can wait, it's just my experience with development tells me that this is a really trivial thing. Maybe there is some really obscure problem stopping them from doing it, like some kind of licencing thing...I just severely doubt it.

Yes, but then you need to work on the authentication. The webshop has that handled, but an outside page connecting to the SQL wouldn't. If they don't have the expertise on-hand to integrate into the existing authentication mechanism then it's suddenly an overkill job just to provide queue positions.

Like I say, I'd like to see some idea of when (or even if, since it's an EVGA) I'm likely to see my 3080. But, to be honest I don't think they should expel THAT much effort unless it's likely to be useful again some time.. Maybe it will and maybe it is. But I'm just saying it might not be the totally easy proposition if it's to be integrated properly.
