I'm currently torn between three monitors, all are QHD/240Hz/27" though. OCUK actually sell two of them for about £3 less than the closest competitor, but I'm more than happy to spend that £3 just as a middle finger to OCUK with how they've handled this launch and their general absolutely abysmal approach towards their customers recently. The mods in this forum have been good but beyond that one CS email that was honest that someone else shared, I've not seen any good interactions or communication; my interactions with staff have been hostile from them.

I did snag two monitors from another competitor at a great price yesterday, I run a triple monitor setup already and I got two new IPS side monitors in QHD for £170 each so I can have a full triple QHD setup :D

I had an Aorus Master briefly and when ran on original drivers, it did indeed have the occasional crash to desktop once hitting 2100+

My TUF non-OC and FE both hit 2100 stable. Says a lot about the £200-300 price difference...

you actually have a tuf non-oc? did you get it from here?

Ordered a Palit from the competitor today. Was showing in stock at the time. Paid with amazon pay, and think that may have tripped me up, as got an email this evening, I've found myself in another queue. Position 32, disappointing, but 30 times lower than my position for the Tuf non oc here. Hopefully I'll have it in the next few weeks.

Not bothered about the cooling etc as planning on slapping an EK block on it.

Probably naughty to ask because its from a competitor but did you get a delivery estimate for the palit?

Had*, gone to a friend now (no chance I was returning it for OCUK to mark me down and charge me return postage). Yes, it arrived the same day as my FE, I believe there was like 4 sent out (I was queue pos 3). Arrived last Monday (9th nov)

I'm sure people are sick of this pic but here it is anyway. I just wish I'd managed to get a pic of all four 30-series cards I've managed to own so far together (also had a Palit 3070 that I used between getting rid of the Aorus and getting the FE/TUF)

Love the FE, hows the fan noise on yours. Tempted at the moment to lob a water block on it.

The original email said 19/20 Nov. Got the queue email 4hrs or so later. Palit seems to have been shipping in fairly decent numbers, so I'm optimistic it won't be much more than a few weeks.

Its was about 5 o'clock this afternoon. Saw it and thought worth ago. I've got a Gigabyte gaming OC on order from here so see what turns up first.

Think we may have bought from different places, mine was from the place that is a function that printers sometimes do.

But yeah, I'd love for OC to surprise me and for my Tuf to arrive. It'd match my mobo:D
 
We’re doomed! Doomed I tell you!
Destined to remain here, hoping, waiting for the smallest piece of information from the mythical creature Gizbo.
The light at the end of the tunnel has gone out.
Punishment! Penance for the years of flashing bios, overclocking chips to destruction and disregard for dusty cases.
We wait and we post. And we post and we wait, ignorant of the knowledge that no matter what we write, no matter how many times we phone; we will not get our cards before Christmas.

This is not the movies and this is not a happy ending!:(:(

Was it the Gaming Pro OC version for £685 or thereabouts from elsewhere, I think they were all pre-order it did say that after lunch when I looked, short ETA if I remember.

Yup. I ordered as soon as they went up (distil), around 1130iirc. At which time there was no pre-order on the screen, just "delivery from tomorrow...".

I notice on the table they haven't had their delivery of Palit 3080s this week, so hopefully this was pre order for a planned delivery or something. They seem pretty good at keeping their queues short and not selling cards that aren't available. Time will tell I guess

Not bad, but I wear headphones when gaming so I wouldn't notice any anyway. Plus my LL120's are already loud af...

I've got an Alphacool Eisblock on order for when they're available though (it's said 10-11 days for like a week now lol)
 
I just received an email from Overclockers advertising "Elite Tier Custom Built Gaming PCs - Order before 30th November for Christmas delivery" How can they guarantee that when they can't even supply the 7,000 pre ordered RTX 30x0 cards they already have on order ? Don't start the "But they have seperate SI stock gibberish, we all know they're using retail boxed cards", the numbers coming in don't match the numbers being sent out, hence the silence from Gibbo of late.
