I'm one up in the queue thank you!
No problem :)

Just watched over the last 2 weeks how I could have easily gotten other cards if I have just checked other forums and sites constantly, rather than waiting for OC.

I also think that AMD could be very competitive so going to wait for them.

Glad to see you go! By which I mean, I assume you were successful elsewhere. God speed, young grasshopper. (Plus, also, I ordered a Gigabyte card...)
Thanks, but no such luck actually! Going to be patient now.
 
For pretty much all shops it won’t update until shipped and that is in the late afternoon when they get the delivery trucks turning up at the national warehouse to collect for their next day deliveries (if next day delivery).
 
same here. At the end of the day, it’s worth a shot. The only thing in our favour is the lack of people knowing about it, and that they have now pulled the listing. People who realised that started trying to order had it switch to out of stock, or so I’m told. It’s no skin off our back. We either get it Friday, or simply cancel it.
I hope you guys do get one (except the scalpers who have already put theirs up for auction with photos of their order in anticipation of getting it tomorrow). It is possible they got a load of stock, but at the same time they must have sold at least 200 of them before it went OOS, which seems incredible given how hard it seems to be for other retailers to get them. At the same time, they're a huge company too so it's possible.

Fingers crossed.
 
Is the MSI gaming x trio worth £750? I haven’t heard glowing reviews so that has me a bit worried

It's gotten positive reviews all around to be fair. If the TUF didn't exist it would probably be the best of the bunch available to buy right now. However MSI did their best to **** their customers off by offering a worse cooler than an "MSRP" model (TUF) and cutting costs with the plastic+ backplate and lack of copper contact plate on the die.
 
have a weird feeling that people that paid MSRP/RRP are left waiting, while those paid premiums seem to have had cards alredy?

would really just like any kind of update at this point regarding stock for EAGLE OC... when i pre-purchased it said 23rd stock....... that was a week ago... surely you have some kind of update?

I'm hoping for those in the MSI 3080 x trio queue that my other order comes, as I can remove myself from the queue here. No interest in taking stock when I don't need it.

True. What I think they had going was unannounced stock, no pre orders, just buy until units are gone, and the lack of bots. I can’t stand scalpers. But nobody will pay over 3090 prices for a 3090, never mind a 3080.
 
Had a DPD driver try and steal some stuff from amazon deliveries saying I'd signed for something I didn't or just taking pictures of the wrong house because they couldn't be bothered to deliver.
Holy crap, really? Get a ring doorbell. Records them and makes them do their job. No more card through the door, or lies about trying to make a delivery.

The fact they don't do international shipping probably helped too.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me with this company. It's entirely baseless to presume they do do it, but they aren't exactly pro-consumer with other things. My opinion of OcUK (and, to be fair, a lot of the tech retailers) has gone right down.

well ive been apparantly 3rd in line for the EAGLE OC the 18th... even ringing up after the 23rd to check... all they said was your in the first batch, you was one of the first to order..... but yet nothing else official.. just a little displeasing from a consumer stand point...
