Agreed, I feel bad for you guys and gals who have been waiting longer with no incoming stock.
unfortunately it was just luck on launch day. gigabyte in general has slowed down a lot on 2021, hopefully the get making all cards asap for our sake and my work

Brother I'm 15th in the queue and I'm pretty sure the 5x mentioned by ScottiB was an error count. I really hope not but I'm 99% sure that it was.Waiting on the two drops of Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC. 5x mentioned by ScottiB and the 10x by Gibbo on the update thread. Been 3 weeks without any movement
Yeah mate, Inno3D are pretty much dead to me now. Poor attitude towards their customers and I don't expect I will ever get my X4.
I'm trying every place I can think of now to get a reasonably priced 3090/3080 but it's not really happening. Waited too long to look elsewhere and prices are now a total joke.

I’m 4th... I was hoping at least one of the deliveries would come in last week but I’ve heard nothing

People are asking about the possibility of upgrades, that doesn’t mean they are getting them. Gibbo has mentioned he has only given upgrades to a certain queue (can’t remember which, you’ll have to look back in the thread) because there has been certain stock available without back orders. It costs them to upgrade orders so I wouldn’t expect it.
I just sold my GTX 1080 there for £450, i saw others looking for £500 lol
My latest queue position is 899 after waiting 22 weeks (155 days). A 155 day gestation duration puts me in the range of a baby goat (Wikipedia)
Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming 10GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card
So I'm a little confused how you have got your queue number? I started at queue 809 on release date for the exact same card (September 2020) my last queue number was 220, want to explain how you're on the way to pass my queue number in even shorter time. Am I missing something here??

In one word, cancellations.
Look at Gibbo's stock update as of 12/03 and you'll see this -
Asus TUF Gaming - 236 shipped, 1164 back orders left - Zero incoming
If only 236 have been shipped then the rest of the difference in queue numbers must come from people cancelling their orders.
Despite dropping over 1000 places, they're still close to the back of the queue.
I suspect people who ordered around the same time as them likely balked at their queue position and cancelled en-masse.

@Furry1987 cancellations behind you but ahead of CMGamer in the queue
Oh I totally forgot about cancellations, how stupid of me thanks for clearing that up.
If that’s how you feel why not buy a card off eBay from a scalper? I’ve had to pay 1,250 for a rtx 3080 not including delivery. While others get free upgrades, and I have certainly been waiting just as long as ANYONE else.
I just refuse to abandon my order after so long and then pay double the price... forgetting the fact I’m still a student and working so money isn’t exactly spilling out of my pockets I just think OcUK should have taken a different approach to the upgrade system in the first place, I appreciate what they’re doing and all but I just view the upgrades as unfair to some people
the problem with this is that the price on the Suprim has been going up rapidly since the new year and we are all out of the early stock which was priced reasonably. The price that you guys paid for your cards hasn't increased, yet our cost price on that card has increased by nearly £250 in the last month alone. The free upgrades are not really sustainable on 3080 any longer.
If we had the cards to do it, which we don't, to upgrade everybody currently waiting for a Trio to a Suprim would cost us north of £150k
..and this figure is just going to keep increasing.
Hi @ScottiB, would a paid upgrade be a possibility for those front of slow moving queues in the near future?the problem with this is that the price on the Suprim has been going up rapidly since the new year and we are all out of the early stock which was priced reasonably. The price that you guys paid for your cards hasn't increased, yet our cost price on that card has increased by nearly £250 in the last month alone.

I understand BUT! @Gibbo claimed they were no more 3080 suprim x in stock and that’s why he couldn’t upgrade anymore 3080 gaming x, couple hours later I somehow managed to order one for a extra £400
personally if I knew 40 people was going to get upgraded I would’ve stayed with my gaming x because I would’ve been near the front of the queue saving myself £400.
That’s basically what I done Lool, waited all this time to almost pay double and then find out everyone else is getting free upgrades.
same bro I’m still a student myself, I appreciate what they’re doing for others as well. I was surprised people were receiving free upgrades
If I had the spare money I would do the same as you
my rx580 takes hours upon hours to render my scenes but hopefully it’s not long now
