whats also very demotivating is the fact that in China or summat there is a thing called golden week or summat, only just checked online and allegedly it was suppose to be in october but google says china one was already in early this year ? can anyone confirm .?

National Day Golden Week in China is 2nd October through to 8th October,and National Day is on the 1st October, so it's a national holiday throughout those 8 days: https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/china/

I thought that too a while back.. I spoke to a guy who got in at 14.03 and said his was dispatched (didn't hear from him again with a photo/proof) Another at 14.04 says he didn't and is waiting like us..

its crazy. One guy on here beat me by like 30 seconds on his order haha. The forum has been useful to speak to those using it properly and not for moaning and bitching - the unofficial queue brought calm early on.

actually still not that confident as a LOT of orders came inin the first 15-30 mins

Good luck on yours buddy.

May have been me, my Zotac order went through at 14:04 and the payment confirmation was at 14:04:37. I didnt get one from the first 2 batches of Zotac's that came in so I really have no idea, heard nothing further in regards to Zotac since. Having got the order in that quickly I really thought I'd have it by now but honestly its all just starting to **** me off.

This only became apparent after OCUK already took 7000+ orders...

Sites going down because of the order volume, stock being depleted immediately, and all this making headlines wasn't enough to make it apparent?

gotta love people buying stuff they dont have money for. Look at bright side u wont be cancelling now u just payy it off before ya get it buhahaaha

that's a bit harsh ain't it I for one have the money out right for it but went with finance so I could spread the cost and raise my credit rating too , that being said some people can't or don't want to pay a large sum in one wack if you can afford it without any issues think yourself lucky and hope you never fall on hard times.

I got my order in at 14:03 and payment confirmed at 14:03:37 on the Zotac and haven't heard anything since about incoming stock

Clearly not. It was patently obvious and many online YouTube sites warned people not to sell their GPUs as stock was going to be short. Lots of people with 750ti’s for a while it seems.
I don’t know why people think phoning or complaining daily is going to help their case.

The impact of that will be delayed quite a bit. Stock arriving in that week will have been made and shipped long before that.

The shortage was known about before launch. That's why everyone else was bashing F5 at 2pm on the 17th in the hope of getting in early.

Easy to say nearly 2 weeks later. Do you know how much traffic a site needs to crash, because I don't. Everyone on this forum is great with their hindsight.

Exactly.

You're right there is less demand.
And I will stay with my 3090. If I was gaming at 1080p or 1440 I would get a 3080

If someone said to you, wait another 4-6 weeks and we will give you a free RTX 4080 when it comes out, what would you say though?

aw man ordered mine at 17.06...... its really not looking good

Ah yes I remember you saying you got yours in literally a minute before me and the fact you haven't got one either yet.... sad.

My Titan Xp says **** off

Your Titan in that much of a bad shape huh? Poor thing

Anyway, hope your 3090 arrives soon (before you change your mind, again). Enjoy

For anyone asking about of you can swap card. I've been told in email YES YOU CAN and you don't loose your spot. It's down to when you paid.

That doesn't say you won't lose your queue swapping. Just that you can swap.

The ambiguity is real.
