I paid £1011 total from one of the other popular sites. Any spare time u get just keep looking and the odd one or two pop up on there. I didn’t even get an alert I just got lucky I guess.
I have seen some 3090s pop up, one even being a TUF, but they are far too expensive for me to justify. If they were close to MSRP then I would have been tempted. But, they are disappearing not long after so I guess they are worth that much to some people.
Jesus, that's double msrp. The 6900xt was supposed to be around there. I couldn't allow myself to be ripped off like that
Well I have £3000 worth of gear sitting doing nothing waiting for the last part for the build and like Gibbo or Scotti said it could end up getting discontinued at worst. So I paid extra £270 just to put an end to it.
Oh I understand, I just personally couldn't allow myself to do it
I take it you haven't seen the recent posts from gibbo. You may want to take a look at those (ie don't expect your queue number to change any time soon)
AMD's MSRPs are as fictional as Nvidia's
To give you some idea, the MSRP for the upcoming 6700XT MBA is exactly the same as our COST price. So they expect us to make nothing...not even cover our costs...
erm....no, that's not happening.
Worse still, AIB cards are usually more expensive to make than MBA/Founders, so when they start coming through we're going to be well over "MSRP"

Can you just revisit that I`m going cross eyed. Thanks.
just makes me laugh, little already released 3xxx GPU stock coming through so hey they must be creating 3080ti's. lol. At that rate taking into account the above TSMC posts you should get a 3080ti maybe this time next year and then again 10 for the UK, unless its EVGA who are six months behind and OCUK wont get any of those anyway.

That's not true, the stock is not assigned, my card was sold to another customer and I now have to wait for new stock to come in despite my shipping being now sorted with DHL. Opened a web note and was advised that the card was sent to another customer during the delay. I again queried this by web note and got a snotty reply saying this was already answered and that this is the system, that my card was sent to another customer and I will have to wait for more stock to come in.
I have again queried this by web note as it is contrary to everything we have been told here, but regardless the system they have gone with is that your stock is not assigned and is given to whoever else is waiting, regardless of your queue position
That's who I was referring to. Apologies, should've been clearer.
I wouldn't be surprised if other AIBs are favouring certain territories or regions over others, or even distributors. The whole thing is just a mess.
Was stated earlier OC do not order the cards when we put the orders in (back in September) they only put orders in when cards become available to bid on at Distributors. So they end up paying more than the original asking price.
Seems to me a better practice would be put bids in direct with factory, when the product went live in the first place and cut out the crap middle men.
Waiting to bid on cards that come available seems a very poor system to get your stock.

Yep, website blew up under the load at release time, so thought nothing of placing my order at 21:30 when it had all cooled off - I mean it was only going to be a week or two until the new stock came in, right? Right? Right??!?!?!

34th in the XC3 Black queue, and currently wondering if I’ll get it before my birthday at the end of June.
What odds will folk give me?
3.142 : E=MC2 should be about the right odds as long as you put the XC3 in the box with Schrodinger's Cat...
Frankly, this is defnitely more of a quantum, will/will not the card actually/never exist, type question!
I’m 11th for the Eagle, at this point I’ll take it as a bday present in may34th in the XC3 Black queue, and currently wondering if I’ll get it before my birthday at the end of June.
