I am seriously considering canceling and grabbing something else. I have FFXV and Shadow of the TR that have not been played and I am missing my game time, even though it is rather minimal. AC Origins I want also but running at 3440x1440, I would rather play with some decent level of detail. I could well cancel and just grab another 1080Ti and wait it out for the next gen. Getting a bit frsutrating in truth.Seen one site in particular doing that, seems like when they get to within a few days it gets bumped up a few more days. May as well cancel and buy an OCUK 2080 ti PE. (profiteering edition).
Says a lot for availability when the nvidia site can't even offer a pre-order. I think a lot of the sites are just guessing at eta's to get people to pre-order and hoping they stay with it.

Very nice. Enjoy. Glad to see people starting to receive them.They arrived 4-5 days early
My 2080 had some of those black specks too.Would have been nice if they had been cleaned up post manufacturing before the removable plastic was attachedGot it!

A massive hash of a launch by NVidia. **** poor really and whilst I personally justified the cost, the delay is grinding away at me. I will decide after work tonight what I will do but heading towards the cancel button now.
You didn't order the FE?
I was surprised that my FE arrived early - it was not supposed to be shipped until 8th - I guess they managed to get stock to Sweden sooner than they expected.
Annoyingly however, I cannot fit them to the machines until the weekend as my wife is streaming currently so I can't put hers in and my machine needs rebuilding from the ground up which I simply don't have time for today and tomorrow I am 2.5 hours away in Stockholm all day.
Roll on Saturday - although I am supposed to be migrating a mail server on Saturday... I guess that can wait it is not like anyone can shout at me about it given I am the CEO

I'm in the same boat, but I'm still leaning to waiting it out. I'm not paying £200 extra for a slightly inferior card, i know i'll regret it.

Nah, I am a bit of a MSI fan and went with the MSI Gaming X Trio but I don't have it in me to wait til the 30th October (or later). I might well cancel and keep an eye on sites to see what comes in first and so long as the price isn't heavily gouged, I will go for that.You didn't order the FE?

Yep, I am the same and I really don't want to pay more than I already have and then regret it later.

That's the "must have" card as far as I'm concerned.
But I ended up with the Palit Gaming Pro OC, which runs much better than expected (I had a 980 Palit and it was average)
I didn't pay the OCUK gouge prices either.
Still don’t see why you haven’t got that yet, other retailers had them as far as I can tell...
Personally i think the Duke looks better, the trio looks a bit weird with that small fan at one end. In some reviews the duke seems to run a bit cooler as well.
Except for the giant DUKE written on it... plus Trio is non reference with 3 power connectors.
Bit overkill having 3 considering the GPU on the whole seems to have caps in place so it'll only clock so much.
Plus the DUKE is named after John Wayne.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 2080 Ti.
I am still waiting to see what comes onto the market.
With my old card it means I can wait a bit but I do have my eye on some of the AIB partner 2080 Ti cards.

Waiting for maybe a super-duper Kingpin style card like your 980Ti's Kaap? The copper on those babies were

Gone off the Kingpin brand a bit.
The 1080 Ti Kingpin was very poor.
Having said that the 980 Ti Kingpin was a fantastic card.
