If I don't have an estimated date by end of this week I am going to have to cancel the order tbh, its on my credit card and will have been a full month since I placed the order, and I cannot afford for the money to leave my account with no idea if I will ever recieve the card this year.

There may be other places I may have been able to pre-order which may have given me atleast an estimated shipping date, so while I very much prefer to get the Asus TUF with OCers, a complete lack of any knowledge of when it will come other than being 1041 in queue means its just not a viable option.

to busy down the car dealer(s) speccin out the 2021 models

I don't know if you are in the UK but I just read that Sept. was the worst month for new car sales for a century! I would wait for the good deals to staert

That is a very valid point mate, Anyone who has paid on their credit card and not able to clear it at the end of the month you will be paying whatever your card charges in interest just to lend OC £700 or more and if eventually you cancel the only winner is the card company

That wasn’t strix that is Tuf cards from ASU’s

 

[Eddy1926]

Right that's it that's the last Chinese I order lol

 

[NoobyMcScooby]

Any updates on the MSI Ventus would be greatly appreciated! I'm so close...yet so far!

Same here my man. I'm 7th in line and hoping we get a surprise batch or something

You'd be in the same financial position even if you did have the card. Poor financial planning if your are in that place.

Hmm, not sure why it makes a difference when you get the card. You can either afford it or not...

Is that today mate, if they get a few more of them I might get mine this year ha?

 

[mrozik]

round 40 cards it seems

 

[Dean Guile]

Guys all need to calm, down this week there will be ZERO, ZILCH, bugger all as it's Chinese national holiday, and their holidays are SERIOUS, they literally shutdown right to bare minimums the whole country STOPS!!! So everyone come back next week. No shipments will be happening anytime soon.

 

[benjii]

Do you remember when OCUK used to get enough cards, prior to launch, to make a giant throne or pyramid? Those were the days.

Seems like that pallet has just ~200 Asus Tuf cards. If it's in Germany, I doubt many of those will come over here.

I know people have asked this, but, i want to keep this card for the next 2 -3 years. Will the VRAM be an issue at just 10gb?

Gamersnexus had a feature on it https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3618-nvidia-rtx-3080-founders-edition-review-benchmarks. Basically no - fast ram can be filled quickly so you should be more concerned about bandwidth. The problem with the gtx 970 was it had 3.5gb of fast and 0.5gb of slow, so performance tanked when you started using the slow memory. 8gb is still fine for 4k.
