Everybody is in the same position. Its not fair to push somebody out of line because you chose the wrong one. I chose the wrong one too and so did about half of people that pre-ordered. Some guys are just getting some luck. Likewise some are very unlucky. Its not the customers fault so its unfair for people to expect others to move aside whilst they push in to get a card sooner. Very bad practice of OC to have allowed it at all imho

I don't think its good enough but who am i to them? Why would they care enough to do anything? They certainly aren't likely to take the hit and buy codes for us. I can see it been left at nvidias doorstep and them doing something for us but your guess is as good as mine lol

All I know is that OCUK should be aware of the fraught customer experience this has been...

Seriously, there's been hardly any. I think a single one spotted in this forum's owner thread? We need hundreds.

Exactly! It's one of the most popular, and there's been **** all of them so far. We can only hope that a large batch turn up in the next wave, but I'm starting to lose hope tbh

Totally. What OC need to do is let us know whats going on and what their plan is with things like this code. Keeping us all guessing on everything isn't going to end well for them.

At least on this they've communicated the situation, and (sadly?) their first 1,000 codes will probably last a good few weeks. Maybe the redemption date is the bigger risk?

I think it'll be steadily increasing batches rather than a massive one, but the numbers so far are TINY.

ubisoft will extend that im sure. they want the players and nobody is likely to buy a game after trying a code thats expired. I mean OC need to clarify how they are distributing the codes and who can expect them. I have it on my order so i'd expect it but im way down the eagle list so will i or wont i?

Until a few chips miss their mark or OC varients become less sought after we wont see much progress on the non OC varients imho. Seems like most OC chips are working as they should at the moment which is great for those that ordered OC but not for others.
At some point once OC demand drops they will throw the same chips in non OC cards so getting one further down the line to me would be better and mean theres likely potential ready to unlock :)

if it is true that ships are sailing then why no one knows how many graphics cards are in the containers

Its a fairly large amount. OC might see an OK amount of these lmao :P

Makes sense. I just don't know why Nvidia would turn their good news sell out story into (even more) mardy customers. We'll see I suppose.
 
I've ended up jumping ship. Cancelled my order for Srtix 3080 OC. I was in 1079 so I couldn't see me getting my hands on it next year.
I found a smaller supplier which updated me if I was to order from them, I would be able to make the pre order to get one delivered from mid to late November.
