Yer thought Gigabyte and Aorus were a brand to put my faith in, at least 6 weeks post launch I'm one of the first people in line money paid all £900 on launch day not a single card shipped still.
I'll be going to another brand and AMD at this point, not good enough.

None of the aorus cards were listed to be available from the 17th of September, they all had no official release date and there was information on multiple sources saying that before the launch. I thought same as you originally and ordered on the 17th thinking id be getting it a week or two later. It wasnt until digging through their socials looking for info on what was going on with them that i found that they had said the aorus cards were still in production and wouldnt launch alongside the gigabyte models.
Cant blame them for us not knowing.
We chose to preorder on the 17th so we could reserve a low queue number. Sorry man but the most we can all complain about is the last two weeks as they officially released on the 1st/2nd of october.
 
And guru3d didnt publish the auorus launch announcement until the 8th of Oct.
Im checking for their review article almost as much as im checking my inbox and refreshing this thread.
 
I'm 21 in queue for a 3090 Xtreme, Just hope Aorus will start shipping soon to at least get the ball rolling. These queues are good for Overclockers at the moment though, They must be sitting on a million pound plus cash flow from the orders!

Agree though that's on Overclockers making Aourus and Gigabyte look bad advertising and taking payment on the 17th Sept, I realised the day after on the 18th and during the launch event on live stream specifically asked Aorus/Gigabyte about availability of the Xtreme to which they said "Aiming for first week of October", now even at queue position 25 Im looking at mind to late november as they aint gonna ship more than 5-10 cards per week to OC looking at the current volumes.

Any updates on the aorus master availability? Gigabyte already confirmed that we'll see some this week, but OcUK didn't say anything yet

Is that 3080 Master or 3080 and 3090 master?

I'm 7th on the list for a 3090 Master, so hoping I'll make the first cut when they do finally come through the door. Knowing my luck the initial stock will be 6 cards with no more due until 2021!

144 hours to make each card? Do they have umpalumpas putting each of the billions of transistors on the die by hand? Or are you being a touch dramatic and need a time out?

Senior man at Asus posted this fact on FB and twitter. Its 144 hours from card components arriving to finishing final testing. And that is in a 100% automated Asus factory which not all manufacturers have.

Of course they dont build one card, finish it and then start the next. The factory is capable of producing 30,000 cards per day.

But since it takes 144 hours it isnt until after 6 days that any cards start leaving the factory but when they do it's 30,000 a day.

Asus was really late starting to build any strix cards and barely started before they shot down for a week for annual holidays.

If they air freight them its another 1 - 6 days before with retailers so thats 12 days from end of annual holidays so you are already getting into the third week in October,

If they ship then its 2 -3 weeks.

Thats why everybody is predicting large quantities starting to land at end of October onwards.
 
So the power limits for Aorus Xtreme 3080 (3 pin remember) is 350W for the silent BIOS and the OC BIOS has 370W - spotted over on Reddit - reported by GPU-Z 2.34.0 on a person with the xtreme. Wow that must be a mistake - its lower than the Master card... ?!!? This card is meant to be super top end and it doesn't even crack 400W ?

but that is in a industrial line, so yeah, it's 144 hours for one single "card" to start and "end", but there's a new card starting every few minutes or so I would bet

More than that, a million quid is only about 600 orders
