pandemic would be my guess...Welcome to the forums by the way
So I'm queue position 1283 in the non-OC Tuf queue. Do you think I would receive a card quicker if I switched at this point to the OC version as they are reportedly filling those orders first? I'd obviously be going to the back of the queue (sore subject I know) but it's theoretically a much smaller queue?
I wouldn't advise anyone to pre order an RTX30xx card at the moment. AMD is about to launch its new line up and there are claims its as good as Nvidias cards, how long the wait will be is anyones guess, but it might prove to be the better option. Then there's the launch of the RTX3070 comming which has been delayed to build up some stock, and it is possible if you ordered one of those cards, that you would receive it within 44 days, providing you place it soon after launch. Performance on this card is supposedly better than the RTX2080Ti, which might well be good enough for you?
No one knows. Queue number is only half the battle. There's no indication from anywhere as to what stock is coming in, so at this point, it's all a gamble. I'm 10 in the queue for a card, but it's also a card that to my knowledge, has never been in stock...
All depends on what the numbers are for the OC queue. I don’t recommend it as you’ll probably be further behind and you’ll have to pay more. Absolutely no reports that they are prioritising the TUF OC. Just some people saying it on here for some reason.
"Lot 1: output quantity 945"
Means nothing if we don't know how many lots they made. I seriously doubt that delaying the launch by 2 weeks has somehow magically prevented the 3070 from suffering the same stock shortage as the 3080.

No. But you will get a email with your exact position at end of the week. They are updating the queue email weekly so if you missed first email you'll get next one.
I gather for a few of the more flagrant examples, they had posted actual queue / order numbers in screenshots / description, and even had longstanding ebay accounts with the same name as an existing forum account here. Sort of exploitable, but enough things lined up.
Ha, yeah. On the plus side, we're now seeing shipments for other nearby places, and it looks like a full pallet is ~42 cards (based on that photo a few pages back). I sort of doubt that OC will get a full pallet from their distributor unless we're really lucky, but first few rounds of orders, maybe?Day 749829 of wondering about any information on the STRIX OC's (I'm sitting pretty at 36th in queue so I'm content with that for sure), just hope to see they get a nice batch of 40-50 and I get mine out of that, and that it's in a timeframe where I'll be alive to see it
Oh, thanks!

Asus just posted an update on their 3080 and 3090 series cards. Dosnt really tell anything than what we already know. Though they say they are shipping direct to UK from Factory so should speed waiting times up.

Hey ROG Fam,
We are aware that RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 cards significantly exceeded demands, which can cause frustration for many who have been looking forward to our new cards.
So we'd like to show you some measures we've already taken to ensure that all the GPUs we're getting into the right hands as soon as possible: yours!
Delivery without detour
All available GPUs will be assembled and tested on our cards asap (up to 144 hours). Afterwards, the finished cards are delivered directly from the factory to the UK. So some stopovers are eliminated and we save valuable time.
From real gamers...
Our graphics cards are designed for PC gaming. We have no interest in them being used for anything other than gaming. We therefore only deliver our RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 cards to shops that we know sell directly to private customers.
... for real gamers
We recommend the shops we work with to issue only one card per customer. In addition, trusted accounts are preferred.
What's next?
Due to the enormous demand, which even exceeded the highest expectations, we have to ask for a little patience.
We are constantly bringing in new stock as frequent as possible. Please ensure that you’ve signed up for notifications with your preferred retailer to place your order so you're not disappointed.
We hope you can all understand that we are doing everything in our power to get the new cards to you guys as soon as possible.

Overclockers are emailing out queue updates to people with 3000 series orders, you'll get one probably when the next shipment of your card has come in and been shipped out and the queue falls, you'll get your updated position in that queue. It's likely most people ordering now will be lucky to see their cards in 2020.
What day do they send the update email? All our money is currently sitting in OC's bank as you can be sure they didn't pay up front for their stock! On the interest alone i bet they could supply their staff with a 3090 each!
When are we going to get some HONEST and INFORMATIVE answers OC??

Apart from a few being spotted in Italy and France there has been no new news. We was told 2 weeks ago 2-4 weeks if they do ship to the UK as the first batch went to asia instead. So maybe 2 weeks depending if they actually shipped OC the cards or longer if they sent them to asia. Think we was supposed to get an update about it but still radio silence!

This is best place for ASUS 3080 3090 updates. The ROG one just reposts few days old stuff. These are straight from ASUS Juan Jose Guerreuo bout all cards specifically and locations. They made specific threads for each card and place this gets info first He also made videos talking about them https://m.facebook.com/groups/ASUSPCDIY/
It's the OC Strix they are prioritising over the non OC version, not the TUF, but some people have been assuming it for the TUF too, but there's been no indication of that.
