Always a good idea to hold on to spares/replacements, especially for the SI side.

How are the Zotac upgrades coming along, if you don't mind me asking?

Why are you telling people to cancel after nearly a year of waiting instead of upgrading to Gaming OC as you did with the 3090 and honour the orders?
They're losing a few hundred per card.

Maybe they shouldn't take so many orders on launch day then.
Bad planning is not the customer's fault.

Have to admit I'm curious too, But wasnt going to post anything till the end of the week & a possible update email ect.
It wasn’t planned. If you look back, you’ll find (and I’m paraphrasing) the demand broke their website and orders were accepted before they could bolt the gates.
Bad supply isn’t OCUKs fault
That was the plan, until morbid curiosity got the better of me

I put it akin to catching a dose of the clap.....you cant help but have a crafty look & a scratch!
Awaiting more stock from Zotac which is due in a week or two and more shall be upgraded then.
I would love if some Strix OC 3080s came in, haven't been any in ages!
"Through the Years ASUS takes its name from Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek mythology that symbolises wisdom and knowledge. ASUS embodies the strength, purity, and adventurous spirit of this fantastic creature, and soars to new heights with each new product it creates."
WOAH WOAH!
Slow down there horsey! Just ehhh. Me and the boys here, well we just LOVE what you're doing already! No need to rush off and make something new! Merely saunter toward the stable and if per chance you could bestow upon us mere mortals a few StrixOC and TUFnoneOC, forever shall we respect and sing the praises of the mighty PEGASUS!
(Def not gone mad)
Wait are they going to make a new Card....
Note the key word, Recommending.
Other retailer I know of already cancelled all orders for Asus TUF months ago because they just decided they weren't getting stock fast enough.
Just poking at Nvidia honestly with the new 3070 TIE. And of course the LHR cards.
To be fair to Gibbo, all he said was to "consider cancelling" if you are >X in queue.

I think the fair thing to do would be to give the customers option of moving into another queue if their card is EOL. Customers have paid the money upfront and been waiting almost a year now for a card, to end up just with a refund that would be unacceptable.
Unfortunately this is a wonderful example of giving the wrong impression based on only having access to superficial amounts of information.
3090 supply definitely hasn't improved, quite the opposite. However, as back order queues clear more of the stock can end up online. There were also lines that were never put up for sale which we built up stock of before selling them..months of stock, sold in weeks.
Just enquired about changing the brand of 3080 I have ordered if it was suitable to Overclockers. Was told "the cheapest 3080's we have are £1,099.99, let us know if you're interested".
A four hundred quid mark up in price is too expensive for me so I shall stick it out and wait for the Asus card I ordered on September 18th last year.
At least it seems they have some cards in stock for sale though!
