So... in gibbo's update about MSI last week, it included 40 or so Suprims to arrive at OCUK, but obviously these arent listed on the website...im imagining if you call them perhaps you can buy one before it gets listed? or perhaps these are for staff or prebuilds? dunno... but i managed to buy one off another vendor, wont come with harribo, it it will come tomorrow instead of 2nd quarter of 2021. Yall remember when ocuk were saying "we expect to fulfill all preorders by november". Or how about "end of october should see big increase in supply". Shame they kept getting lied to by AIBs and NVIDIA. 3080 is suited very well with cyberpunk i guess xD. gl yall
Finally got my long awaited 3080 Eagle 
However - hopefully you guys don't have delivery dates on rainy days aswell.. the packaging was handed to me completely soggy and basically fell apart when I got inside and opened it. I couldn't bring myself to decline the packadge after waiting so long. Thankfully the Gigabyte packaging wasn't affected, only thanks to the plastic air bags! I'd upload the pictures if I could.
DPD have one damn job to do *facepalm*

I know im in a looong queue, I just dont know what number. Hope it's not over 9000.
EDIT: I just had a response from OC, I'm pos 653. No where near as bad as I feared.

I think the likelihood is that these are going to be offered to day one Gaming Trio X buyers. Gibbo hasn't said yet though what OC are going to do with these cards.
ah thats ok, if youve chosen a good manufactured card, ive been 2nd in the non oc trin for 7 weeks ha

nah thats never going to happen. The idea is that these are marked up £100 more than the trios. this is MSI's highest end product for people who arent interested in value, but instead want the flashiest and the best (although i think Aorus currently has the best with their vapour chamber fancyness). If anything, it would be really nice of them to offer MSI trio buyers the option to upgrade to the suprim at added cost before listing them on the website. That would be really good of OCUK, and i think they are in need of a win given all the hate going around.
edit 1: corrected asus to aorus
oh my days, raining 3080s
managed to bag 2, i was prepared, i knew they dont take preorders and that the 1st person to get through to checkout wins, so i lay in wait will multiple web browsers open, ready to pounce, as soon as the cards were listed i went in fast, lol my card declined too
so i will MM one and keep the other

I hate ASUS now ,
That is all.
That is all.
why?
Yeah crappy Christmas for everyone because of Nvidia, ASUS and others not telling the truth. One of the AIB's should have just told it like it is and probably won a lot of respect. Getting that card was the only good thing that made me look forward to Christmas now I think it's probably going to cause bad depression. When i get the card i think it's going to be a very bitter moment and wouldn't be surprised if I send it back out of spite to buy an AMD card. It's crap anyway nowhere near as good as what they said it was gonna be. Just because it's better than the 2080ti doesn't make it good in the slightest. By the time we all get them you will be able to buy it online with no trouble anyway so this has been a very pointless exercise.....
clean and tidy.nice clean build there mate!!The 3080 eagle doesn't look as ugly as I expected once its installed. I'm not really one for loads of rgb as I tend to turn it off. But I'm actually impressed by how it looks.
Really glad you got your card mate but i have to admit that each time i see somebody get one it just makes me even more annoyed/angry at Nvidia and their partners. Especially ASUS. The worst ones are the giveaways they do on twitter/facebook and i comment on them like eh? can i WIN the one i actually paid for please? only to get no reply. Bunch of losers. I hope they all end up out of business (AIB's)due to cloud computing/gaming in 2030 -2035, a thing I'd never think I'd hear myself say but yeah bring it on, at least you wont have to wait in a queue to get a GPU and when servers updated so will your virtual GPU and "0" latency WILL one day be a thing and i look forward to it. Stop trying to pretend this isn't the way it's going to go for mainstream lol. The only thing you will be overclocking is your 5G modem. Rant over.
OMG this is starting to drive me crazy. I've been watching a certain site all week, because I knew they had suprims. I had email notifications set up, had the telegrams and discords open while I work, and probably spent 80hrs this week with that site open on my side screen. I had to go out this morning for a bit, and I came back to 6 email notifications and 21 drop notices, and the suprims are gone, not only on that site I was so intently watching, but they dropped in 2 other places in the 2 hrs I was away for around msrp. It's just like the white whale from the Witcher 3!
