So.. I've cancelled my Asus TUF non oc 3080. I was position 2111... anyone that is in a queue behind me, good luck.
Originally my annoyance was with the lack of stock on Nvidias behalf... But now it's just with overclockers.
At least Nvidia isn't getting my hopes up and taking pre orders, giving me a false sense of hope that I might be able to have a 3080 at Xmas lol.
Why are pre orders still been taken on these cards. Why could I order a card, be placed in position 2111 and find out that none of these cards have been shipped yet ? If overclockers had stopped taking any orders back in October 1st I'd have had no issues and just had to deal with waiting until orders are being taken again. But they didn't stop and it's frustrating to know that people are still able to order these cards, and at this rate they won't see them until next summer and over clockers don't seem to have any issues with it. And I'm sure 99% of everyone in this forum is thinking the same...
Stop taking orders until you have filled majority of current orders at least
On a side note... I did have a card from a competitor in my basket but when I clicked buy I find out they don't ship to republic of Ireland anymore. Turns out most of the competitors have stopped shipping to Ireland in the last month or so because of a recent VAT change here. Very upsetting lol.
