    I love how this thread has devolved evolved into reminiscing about older computer technology. It's enough to make a grown man cry! :p

    I remember playing GTA III on PS2 in the year it actually came out, at the ripe old age of 5 years old! :cry: I have amazing parents lol

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti to be "available" on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti on June 10th

    Nope not today. It's been confirmed they're listed but not currently up for sale:

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti to be "available" on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti on June 10th

    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...

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti to be "available" on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti on June 10th

    Has anyone managed to get an order through for any of the 3080 Ti cards on OcUK yet?

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    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.

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    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...

    As a fellow atheist I'm also praying that your current GPU keeps going! I'm probably influenced by the missus... :D

    I remember the 5000 series launch going live at 2pm, but that was after daylight savings ended, so you may be right.

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    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...

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    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...

    RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

    True, though I don't believe it's a thread just for the 5950X. I'm guessing it's because the other SKUs don't have any 'official' update yet.

    RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

    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...

    RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

    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

    AMD RYZEN 5000 SERIES 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X NOW ONLINE AT OcUK!!

    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.

    AMD RYZEN 5000 SERIES 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X NOW ONLINE AT OcUK!!

    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

    AMD RYZEN 5000 SERIES 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X NOW ONLINE AT OcUK!!

    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...
