You know..... this is just **** now
When I ordered back in September, then found out it might be a month before I got my chosen card (Asus Rog Strix 3080 OC) I was Okay with that, I knew that there would be a surge in orders, I knew I would have to wait, but I wouldn't be alone and there would always be the reviews to read, the YouTube videos on people unwrapping their prized possession.... benchmarks etc...
I'm 441st in the fabled queue now... and i've only moved up 170 odd places not because of stock coming in but people cancelling their orders because there is no stock whatsoever, there was very few on launch day and for well over a month there were NONE (OC Customer services told me this)
Now its 9th December, nearly 3 MONTHS down the line... with absolutely NO chance of getting this card in 2020..... and Gibbo now posting words to that effect also and the reality is we're looking at Easter 2021 now (its only 12 weeks away)
That would be a SIX MONTH WAIT for something I've paid nearly £900 for
YES I KNOW.... there is the option to cancel.... why the **** should I? I just want what I've paid for, along with thousands of others
If there are, for instance, 1500 people in the Queue for the Asus Rog Strix that equates to over 1.3 MILLION POUNDS in the Bank of Overclockers, 1.3 MILLION on JUST ONE CARD
wonder what sort of interest that earns?
