on thursday my queue was 265 for aorus xtreme now its 362 , really OCUK!

It isn't an official queue, it is just a tool made by forum member's data, and a bit of code, giving a best guess. It just has more data (and if estimate of total cards bought rises over time, is getting less accurate)

I was 73 now 70. Guessing people cancelled theirs and updated the list

It isn't an official queue, it is just a tool made by forum member's data, and knows NOTHING about cancelations.

Well it does if somebody who has previously entered their data goes and deletes their order.............
 
This may sound crazy, but:
The main players in the UK could really do with some form of collaboration on orders. With data protection, it may not be possible though.
If you have a **** load of multiple orders placed by customers with different suppliers, surely the stock levels are never going to be replenished on a mass scale!
It would have made much more sense to centralise these orders, then pick your supplier.
Now, I know its business and there is competition, but let's face, we all ordered from whichever site loaded first.
I don't think there should be that much concern about competitors with such a launch. If anything, its potentially damaged their business reputation!
 
Goods news is that not being able to play games on the PC, means I had time to build my new machine. There is something missing though! :D

Beats me? 2 more ram sticks??
 
My read on that was that since order number and the time the system processed their payment are linked, they can't use order number like they usually do because it doesn't line up with order time. That is the same post that mentions that they were still processing payments last Thursday. I can't believe they'd punish people who ordered on the 17th by putting them a week back in the queue because the payment processor's link to their server failed under the load. Though I am biased, since my 15:16 payment didn't actually show up on OC's site till the following Sunday morning.

Hopefully you're correct and I've just misinterpreted it.
 
Think I'm giving it this week for a stock/ queue update then I'll probably bin it off. See where I am in the queue (unofficial 92nd for the Gigabyte Eagle)

As much as I'd love to go AMD this time around, I need that Nvenc chip in the Geforce!
 
soo we wont get watch dogs legion cause they have to get more cards in for the loads of orders they have received?
Well, on their site it's stated that the codes are "while supply lasts", so they can hide behind that.

I believe that Nvidia will extend this time to avoid a riot. But that is just a guess and a personal wish.
The thing is, this has to be done with Ubisoft alongside the deal. Because if users want to play Watch Dogs but their code doesn't work, they'll have to buy the game, so more money for Ubisoft.

I'm more afraid of the fact that between the time we get the codes (via email) and the cards (via parcel) the time to actually activate the codes might expire, so no point in that either.

I would rather Nvidia made a page where we could activate the codes (providing proof that we bought the cards) without the cards being mounted in our systems.
 
Well it does if somebody who has previously entered their data goes and deletes their order.............

All its doing is comparing the order number with the earliest one we know, and the ratios in the spreadsheet. To update for someone cancelling every persons order number would need to be decreased by one everytime that happens. Removing the canceled data in the spreadsheet wouldn't have a significant effect (and only @shaan200 could do it, and the entries there are only time and type, not order number, so it would be impossible anyway).

I stick by my claim! The unofficial calculator cares not about cancelations! For such petty things worry it not! It is pure, wonderful, and majestic (and possibly completely innacurate if any of the assumptions made for it are wrong)
