Exactly. If I'd have to guess, 'loyal' probably first means someone still actively in a 30XX queue willing to pay for their card, possibly including anyone who has their forum account linked to their shop account. Those still sitting in a queue since purchase are almost certainly not going to be...
I’m guessing the latter. For 99% of people in the queues, it would mean cancelling their existing 3080 pre-order while transitioning it across, which has been quoted as being an extremely time-consuming task.
From what I've read so far there hasn't been any confirmed wording of cancelling various SKUs outright (just a transition over to LHR chips, though I've no idea what that would logistically mean for the queues), and considering you're 9th in the queue, I'd definitely hang on for a bit longer to...
@Pogogacy, I can second the message about using Curve as I use it myself, and used it to snag my Strix 3080 OC back in October. It also gives you the ability to move your payment around different cards too, so if you bought it on your debit card but actually meant to use your credit card, you...
I expect muh GPU! :D
In all seriousness though, it was probably done for those who got 20 series and wanted to see if it is worth the expenditure to upgrade if you can jump on a queue early. The 2080 Ti for example still sells for anywhere between £900-£1100 depending on model (ask me how I...
Not only that but the announcement seemed quite short in comparison to other GPU launches, at least from what I recall. Usually you’d get a lot more detail from them (I vaguely remember the 3070/80/90 launches involving longer keynotes), but it just kind of felt like the announcement was...
That's what I'm wondering. There was another fella in the other OcUK thread who was 50th for the 5950X and got his email. He's behind me (40th), so it may be a manual processing thing? Does seem a bit off that those behind you in the queue get their emails first, but it at least confirms you'll...
Ooooo this is good news then! I'm #40 in the list so fingers crossed I'm in that handful of orders too. I've also got a vertical GPU mount for my O11D XL coming too, so it'll be good to get things finally running :D
I’ve gone from 40th to 41st now... I saw in another OcUK thread that it could be for RMAs and they’re automatically prioritised above everyone else (which is fair enough), but I haven’t seen any official word yet.
I was in position 40 as of the last email... plus I think my MacBook's getting jealous as it's starting to play up a LOT now lol :rolleyes: let's hope that 35-CPU shipment is just from the non-official shipment and there are actually more on the way
Just amount managed to get my order in for a 5950X. I was in the same boat as everyone else trying to get through around 2pm, but wow the site didn't like it lol.
I ordered through PayPal and had all my cards and website sessions as set up as they could be, if that helps. Good luck to everyone...
