My fellow Overclockers!
We have cause to celebrate as I can confirm that the first hour of Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC orders on launch day have just been cleared!
Now I know we’re all looking for a rough time line on when to expect our precious commodities so if we extrapolate using only this information, some false assumptions, terrible math and even worse guesswork, each hour of orders on launch day takes approximately 7 weeks to clear, those that ordered right after midnight on the 18th should then be receiving their cards around the start of 2022, and if the same order rate as on launch was maintained throughout the next few weeks and fulfillment rates are stable for the next multiple decades, those that ordered roughly midday October 4th should have no worries playing all manner of retro titles such as the old classic Godfall or the retro game of the year, CD Projekt Red’s 57 year old Cyberpunk as they would be receiving their brand spanking new 3080 cards in.. You guessed it! 2077!
As we celebrate this great event let us all come together as one and hate on the one true enemy, uncertainty.
Let us cast our light on it’s darkness, let us share information on small deliveries in OK amounts, dreamy estimates and very small flames at MSI, let us dream the Hong Kong 3070’s into 3080’s, let us pester Asus regarding their non-OC stock, let us
@Gibbo for the millionth time so he can answer the same questions over and over, or not at all, it doesn’t matter as long as we get a glimpse of the yellow Ferrari.
Let us make wild claims about stock here, and wilder claims about stock there.
But most of all, let us enjoy our time here on these forums, together in our struggle, having to play the worst game of all, real life, where our only input is the F5 button, let us be relentless in it’s use as it will never again be pressed upon with such fierce intent.
Good luck Overclockers and pray the dream becomes a meme.
