This to be honest.

Its at least fairly honourable of Nvidia to make sure there are RRP cards available during this rather mental situation.

They could well have just joined the bandwagon and made loads more profit off it. Fortunately, i think their management has realised that this situation is perhaps unique and shortlived (in the grand scheme of things), so building a happier customer base is more important (and more profitable) long term.

Definitely. This was the only was I was going to buy one this side of Christmas it seems.

Despatch notification today too

Good too see nvidia getting cards in to the hands of gamers at msrp, shame AMD couldn't care less.

I couldn't agree more.

Anyone get a FE today and have their order picked/dispatched already. Mines payment authorised.

This is the scary part, the order can still be cancelled if you fail their checks. Had this happen to my cousin and I.

Dammmit.. I thought they do the checks before hand?

When did you get a cancellation

I think it was a few hours after the payment authorisation stage. Hopefully you will be fine.

Good to see people getting cards, I got a 3070ti yesterday and mate got 3080 today? Anyone want the auction site listing for each?

Only kidding. Funnily enough I atually wanted a 3080 and he was gutted not to get a 3070ti so we are swapping.

3080 is awaiting picking for me. Few drops yesterday and today so expect they'll have been busy. Assume it'll go out tomorrow or Monday.

Yep, dpd delivered my fe today from yesterday's order. To be honest I was in a bit of a flap and just pressed OK to everything to get the order through. So the only thing I know is the postage I agreed to was about £11 and it arrived today

Sometimes orders dont get picked until day afterwards so I wouldn't panic just yet

I thought these may have been offered to people in the 3080 queue, 11 monhts for me.

How much did you lucky folks pay for the FE card ? was it MSRP ?
