q update - Asus tuf 3080 OC, ordered 7th Oct 17:57 started at 918 - now with latest update moved up 17 places and am now position 193
what a ride ! patience of a Saint! go OCUK! you can do it!
Count yourself lucky, I ordered the same day, and we'll say around the same time (

m a few hours ahead) for the NON OC version. I started above 2k with no updates till it dropped below 2k, and don't know my current position cause of suspended shipment to non mainland UK due to DPD issues. I assume I'm less than 1058, as that was my last update on Christmas eve. While were all seriously PO'd, and its understandable, its just the current world we are in. If you make everything in China for cheap (due to ?????????????, avoiding political debate

but everyone has their own idea based on what side of the political spectrum they are on which would go into the ???) guess what happens when china shuts down due to a pandemic. All eggs in one basket. Serious supply issue ( not a demand issue, as opposed to what Nvidia would like you to believe), Scalpers, miners and bot action have F'd us over. I know, at least I got my card at a mostly fair price, and OCUK are honoring it. While i'd love my card to be here on Monday, that ain't happening, any time soon.
A tad bit of an side note, but I signed up for one of them discord part alerts groups. Signed up to look for 3080s, and even 3090s if I was stupid enough at the time of seeing a "deal". Even when the cards come in on sites, they are gone instantly. literally "added" to basket a 3090 earlier for about €300 more than MRSP, and was going to cave, but it wouldn't add as the bots were buying it out before I could get there. and i clicked the link as soon as it was added ( happened to be looking) Its a pan European issue. Nearly better to wait and not be ripped off, then "pull the trigger". You can see the inflation going around as well. 3080s are nearly the current MRSP price of 6900XTs, and 6900XTs are the former price of 2080Ti's. even if you can fine any one of them, you're getting screwed. Just a side note I suppose to say " stay the course, we be fine jack". not much comfort to most though...
