Does the 1080 Strix actually exist?

[JimBeam251]

I remember when i ordered the 1080 strix i was told i was #70 in the queue back in June, we are nearly in August now and still no sign of the 1080 strix, were they recalled or something?

We're closer to June than August!!

I'm something like #180... I'm v. tempted to cancel.

Low 20's. Still hoping against hope that if the batch that was promised last week appears then I'll get mine this week. Seems unlikely now.

It would be nice to have had an official update email from OCs explaining what the issue is, even if it's "no stock yet because…". It's just good customer service. I appreciate they might be concerned that pre-order customers might cancel their order if they are told "no ETA yet" however customers most likely won't cancel IF they cannot get the product elsewhere anyway, which is most likely the case here.

There's a bit shipment incoming to the UK I've heard, shouldn't be too long. Demand is high on these

 

[Tommy_Here]

for people still in the 3 digits waiting line I'd just cancel, seriously the fact you've had £600+ taken out of your account and nothing to show for it, that's what ****** me off in the end and just grabbed a 980 Ti and wait untill big pascal

I agree, I'd rather know "You'll be waiting another 1-2 weeks" rather than hearing nothing. Shouldn't need to come onto the forums for information, customers should be updated by email.

This guy told me they do exist and later on that evening, two men in dark glasses came round to tell me that "there are no supply problems". They said they were from Nvidia.

 

[Silent_Scone]

They're in stock elsewhere.

When I ordered one a couple of weeks ago the etailer put a delivery date of 18/07 so sounds about right they would be here shortly.

customers should be updated by email.

He He very funny like that.

When will people learn about pre-ordering?

 

[Orangey]

Didn't they have some problem with not hitting advertised boost or holding clocks?

Are they binning?

Every overclocked card is binned. They are struggling to find chips to reach the OC clocks.

Well preordering has saved me over £100 due to the price increase.

Some of Denmark Online retail just got some (20+) today so I think EU retails should get it very soon. Oh wait you are not in EU anymore muhahaah.....joke aside. Gigabyte will send some more GPU to retail this week or next week.

I got a good feelings that we'll see more GTX 1080 before the end of this month.

I ordered a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Waterforce (from Caseking) and hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. Since I play on GTX 670 so its a big upgrade for me so I cannot wait!

 

[JimBeam251]

They will probably get their 1080 TI before we get our 1080 STRIX

 

[LoadsaMoney]

FuryX all over again, as some people waited months for those too.

 

[8 Pack]

They for sure exist!!

I hear since Brexit, that Gibbo is dispatching hitmen to anyone with more than one 1080 on pre-order.

And I don't mean the game!

I see there is a lot of interest in the STRIX, is this model supposed to be one of the best ones to get, when it finally arrives.
I see that it is factory overclocked, is this done in a ROM onboard and not software controlled
