Ok we have got your point, I take it you will no longer be using the forums paid for by OCUK? Or is that a different set of morals ?

Well, they can well afford to run these forums with all the cash they have accumulated through pre-orders eh? ;) Good luck getting your cards all, made much harder by tonight's decision to put the Country back into lock-down, and if you think that isn't gonna affect the situation?, then have a good sleep and really think about it, as what little hope you did have (and boy was it small), has virtually now gone. ;)

Still, you won't need the money for Xmas either, as that will be non-existent also, but, better in your bank than theirs, as next year is a new year :)

Have people who ordered a strix oc had their queue updates from Friday?

I did get one earlier in the week when they had a few cards arrive so maybe we don’t get one on a Friday if we’ve already had one earlier in the week?

I’m always just curious I suppose to see if anyone has cancelled

At least you GOT one update, while I was not even informed about my placement ... It's 6th day already and nobody gave me any information on which queue I'm in. Probably will just cancel the order and move to competitor which at least keeps their customers informed.
 
I ordered on release day at 21:00 (ish), at the first queue email (02/10) I was 537 for an Asus 3080 TUF (Non-OC) and I am now 427 (30/10). It might seem like progress at first glance but not really because you've not shipped any of this SKU, it's for one reason and one reason alone... cancellations. I realise that this is because you yourselves have not received any stock to send out but why can competitors manage stock and ship this SKU to some customers, but the mighty overclockers who have the best contacts in the business and who supposedly get the best stock allocation can't even ship one poxy card in a whole month. If you do in fact have the best contacts in the business like you say then why do you not deal directly with the AIB manufacturers like other companies do?

Then the cherry on top of all this is that the "free" game (Watchdogs Legion) which is on my order confirmation email is no longer being given out, and the subsequent free game (COD: BLOPS 2) isn't even going to be sent out instead when you do eventually manage to receive and ship some cards. What a complete ******* farce, I am done with this company, I refuse on principal to ever order anything from you again. Yes I could cancel and go elsewhere for my card but then I'd most likely have to wait even longer and pay even more over MSRP to get a card unless I manage to get lucky and buy a founders edition, so realistically I'm forced to wait.

P.S. I don't feel that the game was free I paid £40 more than MSRP for my card (which actually jumped up from MSRP between clicking on the product page and adding it to my basket), and £40 is about the cost of a game.

Chin up. At least you will be guaranteed Watchdogs '4' by the time you actually get your card, mind you, you will need the next Gen series to run it properly, but a 4070 you may just get by with ;) Pre-order now.

No Haribo included, as the factory is infected with CV19 unfortunately, and OCUK have none to spare, as due to boredom of shipping only pre-builds, they have eaten them all. Kinda like your cash :)

I feel your pain, I ordered a Zotac rtx 3080 on the 17th of September at around 4pm, changed my order a few weeks later to a Asus tuf OC rtx 3080 (no loss of day 1 queue position) , which put me at a fairly low queue position, sadly still awaiting my card, but currently 3rd in the queue.

It does seem like a never ending wait.

It's kinda proven at this point OverClockers marketing border line outright lied about partner status, backed up by the lack of stock vs the competition.
Die hards will be along shortly to shoot any such claims down, facts are facts though.
I doubt it will hurt OC's earnings though.

None of them. If I tell you Zotac then who knows that they don't deliver again until January.

Haha fair one, any idea how long cancellation takes to be processed and money arrive back into my account? Think the 6800xt will have to be what I go for and try and get it on release day this time to at least get an early queue position
