Hello everyone, long-time compulsive thread-checker, first time poster.
I'm in the Strix 3080 non-OC queue. Went from 113 to 104 today. Getting very twitchy watching the Strix OC backlog numbers coming down on other retailers with no word on the non-OC versions. Also watching Big Navi with growing enthusiasm. In 20+ years of computer building this would've been the first time ever that I got a premium Nvidia graphics card at launch, but looks like destiny wants me to go back to AMD.
BTW, I work for an industrial tech company that imports components from Asia, and in a meeting today we heard that freight coming out of China is a nightmare right now. Air freight has been a mess because of global travel restrictions (a lot of air freight travels in the hold of commercial passenger planes, so if they aren't flying then freight costs skyrocket and queues build up in warehouses) and shipping ports are a mess with the added cargo (not to mention Brexit is making everything for the UK much worse). Plus Apple has apparently out-bid a lot of businesses for new iPhone shipments on air-freight, so stuff is being delayed because of that too. All in all I'm not surprised that the OC team is getting very sporadic updates on where stock is and when it'll arrive. I guess it's going to be really telling what happens when Big Navi launches and whether the same problems occur.
This is useful info, thanks for sharingHello everyone, long-time compulsive thread-checker, first time poster.

I'd say a DREAM of disappointment, would be more accurate according to the scale.I only have an OK amount of disappointment this week.
MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio queue position
02/10 - 570
15/10 - 531
23/10 - 496
Not bad movement in the last week. Just still wish I ordered it earlier than the 4:58pm on launch date.
107 to 102 for me lol
I dont think they have received the cards on time given the queue positions, thats not a bad thing! Next week hopefully the queue will drop by another 100 or so!
Congrats! Month and a bit? Could be worse.
