PNY are still yet to ship any 3070's
Asus have now confirmed to me that NONE OC cards are NOT discontinued and should be shipping some soon, they did say the price is going up though, I am awaiting to see my new cost as it best not be going up 25% as we can't afford to lose 25%, I have communicated to them we are still shipping hour one customers from launch day so they need to be mindful of this as its not our fault for selling so many within the first minutes of product launching.

oooh, so preorder customers have to make up another 25% or up to?
coz if Asus states the price for Tuf/Strix is this +25% example and and OC will lose to much if they honor past pre-order prices then pre-order customers will be met with the price hike.
What about MSI 3080 Ventus?
It is always worth searching for recent posts from Gibbo & ScottiB, or even just scrolling back a couple of pages...

CongratsGot my shipping notification for the Strix OC 3080

I have been sitting in the ASUS 3080 NON-OC queue from hour 1.
If someone was to tell me, that after waiting for nearly 5 months that I'd then have to pay an extra 25% on top to get what I ORDERED AND PAID FOR ALREADY then that really is taking the absolute ****
I've been almost £700 down for what will be half a bloody year soon, and you want to take more money off me in order to keep my place WAITING even longer? What the hell is this..

Id hold for now as they have shipped none, so I am gonna give them another clobbering as to what is going on.
Oh dear, it's not very cheery in here today!
I'm not normally an optimist, but it's still the first week back after xmas, so maybe things will look more promising or at the very least be a bit clearer next week.
With 3070's being more available, just in case anyone in the 3080 queues are wondering if a 3070 would be enough for them - I've been playing about with my 3070fe for a couple of weeks now in 1440p, and it's a very very good card. I was going to sell it if/when I get my 3080, but I like it so much I'm going to put in my wife's PC. It's a worthy upgrade from a 1080 imo, it gave a good cp2077 experience and is good enough for FS2020 on a rift s, and gives 360FPS at 1080p on 2016 twitch shooter I play. Literally double my 1080ftw. If it wasn't for my work needs I'd keep it myself.
So if your looking to end the pain of the 3080 queue and you think 1440p is enough, you should seriously consider a 3070, the FE especially is a bargain.

ill be running a 5600x + 3070 at 1440p both overclocked, what kinda FPS can I expect in games like call of duty
A lot more? hahahaa that's overstating things a bit don't ya think? 20pcs in seven weeks doesn't feel like a lot to me
In warzone I get 100-120FPS @1440 on a 3600xt/3070FE so I think you should get more than this. Multiplayer FPS is higher usually but depends on the map

wow, im well chuffed with that, gotta wait for the 3070 to actually arrive now lol
I haven't played COD so I'm not sure. But from other similar games I'd say your good for 144hz screen at 1440p and a 240hz screen at 1080p.
I'm running with a 10700k @ 5ghz so you should be similar or better given the OC card. Mind you the little FE is pulling off a 4691 in the Heaven benchmark using the rules in the thread here - from looking at the leader board that's not too shabby at all.
