Not sure if this image will work, but someone asked me to post a picture of the capacitors of my msi 3080 gaming x trio that I got today.

Are these the bad ones or the good ones? I know nothing about the capacitors:/

There are no bad caps, does this train still have passenger's ?
I can't see the pic but its going to be the same as mine and my card is rock solid ;)

Utterly unacceptable to be letting people change card and skip ahead of others in the queue @Gibbo this needs addressing right now, no excuses.

Is this actually happening? If so then that means my order is gonna get pushed way back till like Christmas.

Really kinda bummed out about this major hold up. People claiming this isn't a paper launch are delusional.
 
So I know we aren't supposed to talk about competitors, so I won't mention the name or stock levels or anything like that. But I saw that a few people mentioned in this thread that another retailer had some stock today (not pre-order apparently) and a load of people went there and ordered (none left now).

Looking at the price they were charging for it, which is significantly higher than OCUK's pre-order price, how is the price they are charging any better than the rip-off prices that ebay scalpers are charging (and being heavily criticised for doing so).

I'm confused why anyone would have bought it? Enlighten me!

Because it was available and £30 cheaper? Why wouldn't we?

An actual shipping date combined with getting an actual product you paid for. I would have now paid up to £800, as this delay is endlessly costing my ability to do actual work. Then combine that with lack of feedback, confirmed queue jumping adding further to unknown ETA and stocks. Yeh if I had known I would have also jumped provider to have a honoured transaction, with a workable ETA.
 
Is there any news on Aorus cards coming into stock here? I saw on twitter ab out the first master cards being released within the next 7 days, and have seen people in Australia have managed to get their hands on the card already.

Hmm, obviously you must have bought from a different place to where I think then. Obviously not going to mention the retailer but it was significantly more at the place I looked at (following clues to find it rather than actually knowing the retailer 100%).

The other place I saw, a well known retailer (but not particularly for graphics cards) was charging much more than that. They are out of stock now.

Higher than OcUK price? It's £30 cheaper lol

About normal price now going with the current 'inflation' that all retailers are charging, due to increased distribution costs using air freight shipments and supply/demand.
