Think my Inno3D ichillx4 3080 should be here within a few weeks... However its gonna be a bit of a heartbreak if the 6800xt is faster anyway LOL.

Unlikely. AMD had the perfect oppertunity to rock the nvidia boat when it teased the gpu at the cpu release. If the amd offering was going to beat the nvidia they would have made sure everybody knew then :) - The only thing imho that could work for amd is if the pricing is low enough & availability is high enough to make people swap. There's 3080s to be had at decent prices if you happen to be around at the time the competitor opens up orders. To me thats a much better option than hanging in a queue here but each to their own ;)

Just a little update, a few of use managed to snag a aorus master the other night from a competitor, they claimed they were in stock and here I set shipping for today well after contacting them, there like a oh no it was a preorder and we SHOULD be shipping before end nov still took 905 quid off me quick enough based on lies, I know overclockers are taking some flak and some of it rightly so but the shady tactics aren’t exclusive.

They never claimed in stock. they had stock expected date of this thursday for both the master and extreme. I'd expect all that ordered to receive friday. At lease i hope so :D

Nah they sell them via a competitor site but you still need to be directed via the nvidia site.

Well I’ll be! I thought there was no chance to purchase them in EU at all! That they are now “exclusive” to US and Canada markets where Wallmart sells their cards! So you’re saying the card when it isn’t marked as “out of stock” links outside of their webstore to a 3rd party shop? I looked on all usual suspects but the FE was never listed on any of them, just AIO.

Without giving any names, is it always one and the same shop that sells them in UK? Shame it’s not OC ;-)

Yes there was stock last week. The FE won't be listed on the competitor site at all. You can only buy it, if you click on the link on the nvidia site. Although there is a captcha, to stop bots I guess.

Yeah I really don't know what to do at this point. I'm 1st in the queue for a Zotac non-oc but I have been since my order went in at 14:04 on release day... I've tried getting info from Zotac and had nothing back, its non existent from OC too, £710 down and after 5 and a half weeks we've had absolutely ZERO info or updates.

I'm in the exact same situation, except I've slowly moved forwards in the queue from 53 to 43. Absolutely bizarre that OCUK haven't ever got any deliveries for this card. I still have faith that I'll get it before the end of November, though.

there's only been one so far and that was last monday. watch the nvidia site. they use a link to competitor when they have stock and the link is temporary so could be somewhere different next time. we just dont know. I guess the randomness is to help prevent scalpers and bots but it doesn't seem to be doing much atm. everytime more stock comes at nvidia or competitors it seems to just populate ebay a little bit more at high prices. eventually the bubble will pop and scalpers will be left in the cold but i cant see that happening anytime soon :(

I'm lucky i managed to snag a zotac, a strix and an aorus master so far. If they all turn up at the same time i'm going to have to see if OCUK have a classifieds lmao. Im less confident OC will deliver my eagle anytime soon so have already requested cancellation on it

Hehe, cheers!
 
@Gibbo any chance of an update for what's expected or not expected this week? We have had zero update for 4 days. Keeping us all in the picture even if it's bad news/no news is better for all of our mental health.

Gibbo said he won't update if he doesn't have any information. So looks like there is no confirmation of new stocks coming this week
 
And this is what is worrying me. Why they not clearly say that : you can wait for months or years to get one or we will offer you swap for different card.

they wont offer a swap (Or any swap will put you back of that queue). atm the best they can offer is a refund. They simply have huge queues for everything so whatever you do you will likely be waiting :(

they wont offer you a swap to another card, some competitors do this because they stopped pre orders and allow existing backlogged orders to be upgraded to fulfilled backlogged cards, you wont get that luxury here since preorders will never end

Just keep on taking the money with no end in sight, that’s some great morals there from OCUK

ye god damn scalpers all they do is sit there on F5 thats why i hate how nv runs store no idea when card lands it total random. so far we had 5.40xxxxxx AM then we had some at 13.20 and 11pm xxxxxxx SATURDAY. No normal person can get any of em....
 
“We totally understand our customers’ point of view but at same time, it is upsetting to see anger vented at ourselves when we do not control the launch date or the manufacturing.”

but you could turn off the pre-order button on YOUR website until you have sufficient stock. You probably should also not have stated delivery the next day when we placed the order.

can we please have another update rather than reverting to radio silence?
