None, they ALL have massive queues and some aren't shipping at all currently (Zotac).

I don't think you'll see anything this side of mid January 2021 if you order at this stage, regardless of model ordered unfortunately. The popular cards have massive queues, the less popular cards have big queues, but don't appear to be shipping.
Love that the updates are now so slow we are getting updates regarding past shippments that forum members have already provided us with info for as the cards have already shipped. Jolly good show OC UK. Just to figure out now how to give customers updates about future shipments rather than past ones .

Good morning to everyone except Overclockers who hasn't given any update on the Eagles. I'm #56 (I think?) in the queue and shouldn't have to wait 3 bloody weeks for it.

Can OCUK send me game key for Watch Dogs Legion at least? I have not got my RTX yet.
Well that's even more depressing. Even less chance I'll get one before Christmas looking at that.
What number in the queue were you buddy? Just interested to see if getting the Vision from a competitor 24hrs earlier made much difference. I was 7in queue with OC.Just had DPD at the door with my Gigabyte Vision 3080 and one pack of Tangfastics! Can confirm it's real. Shame I need to get through a lot of work today before I can properly unbox
You need to have the card installed to be able to activate the game.
So 98% of us won't be able to, and the free game will expire. Shocking.
We know some Gigabyte Visions went out yesterday (13th in the queue got one shipped), they didn't go on sale on the 17th, and someone who ordered on the 26th reported queue position 38th. So I suspect that is a shorter queue, and we know at least some exist, if I was buying now that is what I'd go for.
Otherwise, honestly I'd ring and do a phone sale, since they likely have more info on the queue lengths. Avoid Asus and MSI, all their cards have MASSIVE queues, as does the Gigabyte Eagle. OC currently don't seem to have got any EVGA cards yet so they also seem a bad choice for a new order.

So half the brands are not shipping to the UK at all, MSI sold most of their meagre stock through a subsidiary for £1500 each on eBay, the non OC tuf only got sent out to YouTubers and the sum total of gigabytes shipped could fit in a clown car. This is the Fyre festival of GPU launches. At this point OCUk might as well leave us to use astrology or oneiromancy to figure out when get our cards.
If u would order now forget u will receive any of them this year
On the how many Gigabyte Gaming OCs shipped topic the spreadsheet suggests @BountyNunes was at number 8 on that list. Hopefully they see the tag notification and could let us know if they had one shipped?
@SGz_Eliminated was 18, so I guess we know its less than that.

Reached out to kfa2 as have heard pretty much nothing from OC,finally got a response back today and they just tell me to ask OC as "They are in queue of shipment"... what ever that means!
Same here, my 1080ti will do fine until my card (eventually) arrives. I knew when I placed the order that I would be in for a long wait. It was obvious from the hype leading up to the launch that there would be a mad scramble for these cards so I'm not shocked or bothered by having to wait my turn. I also knew before placing my order that the Strix cards wouldn't be available until sometime after launch so, again, I'm not shocked by the long wait times.
As you say, no rush.
