I would expect to see a lot of TUF non-OC refugees making their way to either the 3070 Queues or the AMD side today.

I honestly hope to see 1000+ cancellations just to show ASUS they cant treat customers like this. I hope everyone from the non-OC queue gets a card they want. Personally, I'm gonna try for the FE which I'm guessing will drop around when AMD starts their talk

How do people feel about Asus binning the OC cards and giving the non OC variants the crapper silicon? I can understand it on the Strix models but on the Tuf models I'm like... oh come on!
There's probably 4 levels of binning.
Best - Strix OC
Better than average - Strix non- OC
Average - Tuf OC
Below average - Tuf non OC

I can't understand why anyone would order anything they make to be honest and I have an Asus motherboard and router.

The products are OK but the UK service is very very poor, there are appears to have been absolute silence regarding their RTX3080 supply, and then they say from the HQ that they are not making the non OC versions because the silicon isn't of a poor enough quality ! Why on Earth anyone satys in an interminable queue to be treated like this is beyond me.

As to why OCUK keep the non existent products on the site, it's probably because Asus insist all of the range is supported and won't allow them to remove it.

I don't blame them for the approach. What I think is extremely bad of them is to then decide that all chips are "too good" for the non-OC market.
IMO, they should have a threshold that regardless of quality at least X% of the cards should be the lower model. They're offering them up for sale and there's no excuse for not then producing them. It's not like the OCs cost them any more to make, so the only reason to not take this approach is greed.

I've got an Asus monitor, and used to have a TUF laptop too. Agreed on UK service, never really had a good experience with them tbh.

OCUK choose what they sell though. I honestly think they should take the non-OC's off sale like they have done with other unavailable cards. It'd make a statement to asus that they stand with the customer not with the profit line.

Got yourself a tin hat with all those Wifi signals as well I hope.:)

I know right hahaha. I probably need one.
Over the last 2 years I've gone from maybe 2nthings using WiFi my son's phone and my phone. To litterally having the entire house. I think last time I looked when I turned the Virginmedia hub 4 1Gbps hub. Into modem mode there was over 40 wifi things listed in the home page lol. I think that's why I'm seeing such a good change. Maybe if only had 2 things the hub would have been ok. The distance isn't great on 5ghz on the Virginmedia hub 4 not like 2.4ghz which is not all. 5ghz doesn't like going through walls but surprisingly the 5ghz on the Asus router is basically better than the 2.4ghz on the VM for distance. Like all the Philips hue light switches show up as devices too then loads of plug sockets takes up a lot of devices.
Rear garden and front garden cameras. Door bell. Then all the usual stuff like TVs laptops phones and my 3 Nvidia shield 2019s well one of them is directly plugged in in the living room. I even have loads of WiFi addressable LEDs around. In TV cabinet and behind the TV. I was thinking of getting the Philips hue TV sync for gaming room too on my Samsung Q70r on wall and living room. I love the Philips hue on TVs but the TV's are crap. So being able to out it on any TV like my LG C9 in living room or the Q70R in gaming room would be very cool.

Yeah, it's quite stupid but I guess that's just how this stuff works.
 
EVGA meh. I hate having to use presison X1 just to get all 3 fans to spin on my 1080ti FTW 3. I only like using MSI Afterburner. Which is why I didn't go for evga this time. I could have bought one too. I get my ASUS 3080 this week from here anyway. And I don't like scalpers else I could have bought that and made some nice profit.

KFA literally have no 3080 to ship oto EU/UK at moment, all they could spare was some 3090 which are on the way. THey hope to have some 3070 next week but 3080 is crazy

That's me out, "all they can spare" this isn't asking your mate to lend you some money this is a product we have paid in full since the 17th. Have also seen kfa2s ship to Europe its just OC that hasn't had first shipment yet. How can you knowingly keep a preorder open for a product you can't source.
