The RTX 2080 pre-order thread

[Sc00p007]

My Ti order has been delayed too. Ordered straight after the conference, original 20th ship date. Received an email from nvidia last night it is delayed and they will be back shortly with another shipping estimate.

hang on so ppl who received their 2080s cannot use the card yet coz theres no drivers? or is it they cannot use the RTX function?

also we should see the benchmarks soon right?

Ah, yeah sorry I meant more the fact that there aren't any games about that can use it yet.

Kind of defeats the early adopter premium premise for me if you can't use the main selling point.

As for benchmarks, they're about but you won't see any with gaming RTX on figures as the games don't exist yet.

No sooner than sometime next month (they're waiting on next month's Win Update supposedly). Probably just Tomb Raider. Might see a few other games with DLSS, but unknown.

Cheers, yeah I was just unsure if i'd missed something but pickings do seem a bit thin on the ground when they do come.

It could be a game changer, these could be fantastic cards. I won't be buying until I see the full facts and figures though.

Same exact story here.
Read about a week ago in the news Ti were delayed and will not ship on 20th Sep. If that was known in advance, why did nvidia wait to tell us?

Nice one mate...did they send you an estimated time? Mines is still at the delivery depot.

Mine is apparently arriving between 12 and 1 with a chap called Darren.

There should be a live tracker option on your delivery tracking page.

As Stanners said It shows on a live tracker on parcelforce web site.

Hope to see yours posted up Simon and Stanners

Any news on Ti shipping from OCUK? Customer service told me ''An ETA of the 20th for first batches of all GPU's at the moment although quantities are likely to be low in first batches.''

Gibbo can you update please? Is this still the case? Have OCUK received any AIB 2080ti's yet?

Maybe worth posting in the customer service section as you may get a quicker response as Gibbo maybe busy.

Lovely. Damn this thing is heavy. Built like a tank.

Anyone going from a 1080 to a 2080, would like to know if it's worth it or not. I game on a res of 3440x1440 and I think the 2080ti is a bit too expensive for me.

 

[HazardO]

I had an email from Nvidia saying my order was delayed and they will get back to me with a date!!

My Ti is delayed too.

 

[Smffy]

When you can NVLink but don’t have the cards yet... SAD face, but they are MSI Dukes so next week probably.

From what I've read its not really worth the upgrade. Its a small gain for a big price.

Thanks guys. Just spoke to CS on live chat and no stock or shipping on any Ti's other than the Zotacs be nice to get an ETA on the other models for those who pre-ordered? @Gibbo

EDIT: Update from CS Ti's have an ETA of next week but this cannot be confirmed. Delay is due to Nvidia. Guess we'll have to sit tight for a week.

It's like 1080 to Ti.

If you didn't jump back then, why would you do it right now?

In my case I have saved up money so I might as well do - for others it's the upgrade hitch or curiosity about the new tech.
