You won’t need to replace it, I have several friends with the 3080 and 750w and they’re fine, sounds like a bad psu to me

I was thinking the same

Yeah that's possible, although I have also heard problems with a few other people with a 750w.
I picked up a new 850w about four weeks ago in preparation. I always would go a little higher at least on recommended spec.

It is embarrassing that they have took orders in the thousands, but are receiving cards in the 10-20 range, trading standards should be looking in to this.

TUF OC queue update.

First queue email position: 186
Second queue email position: 176

so then ock got a total of 10 tuf ocs lol

Well not quite, previous queue position 49, current queue position 43 for the 10 tuff OC

Some of those 10 places that you moved, will / should be cancellations.

shocking isn’t it. I’d cancel if I were you. That way I might move up the queue a space.

 

[PrincessFrosty]

That still doesn't explain how 8 cards shipped, and we only moved 6 along in the queue. If anyone had cancelled in front of us, we would have moved further. So, worst case scenario for us at the front, is that we should have moved 8 places. It's incredibly annoying, considering the pitiful numbers going out could mean this 'mathematical failure' could cost an extra weeks waiting time.......or even more.

How did you determine that 8 cards shipped though? If you worked that out because someone moved 8 places how do you know that wasn't less real cards shipping + cancellations?

Think I'll keep my position whilst looking elsewhere too but thanks for your smashing advice.

 

[JoeParlock]

Oh look, another day without updates on the Eagles. Thanks @Gibbo

Aren't people lovely?

 

[jaycob]

Legitimately how big are OCUK? I get the feeling that distribution don't take them seriously with the **** poor amount of stock.

Lol, don't trust that @dazzlaa ... Always trying to pull a fast one .
I'm also keeping an eye out elsewhere. I could have picked up an Eagle yesterday, but decided it wasn't the card I wanted.
I'm waiting on MSI pre-order, but with all the shady practices going on with the latest scandal, it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth...As if the whole experience over the last 3 weeks hasn't already done that!

So will there be an influx of cancelled orders now that the rumours of a 20 GB version of the RTX 3080 could be coming by the end of the year? I'm considering cancelling because of this, if I have to wait anyway - might as well get the card with more RAM...

Nah that card will be £1000 I bet, stuff that,
Big navi or the 16g 3070 super on the other hand maybe a option if there is no shortages like the 3080

I think the 20gb will be delayed until middle of next year due to the amount of current demand. Also you're probably looking at £300 more and I think 10gb is plenty for a good few years. Better off using that money towards your next card.

spoil sport

 

[Stu999]

Hope so. I'm

What is your position,I moved 13 slots only from 82 to 69. If you are higher than mine, maybe some canceled their order meanwhile.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'm much higher up the list than you - now at position 128 from 146.

 

[webhead2oo9]

I moved from 26 to 20 (OC TUF)

All we need is an OK batch to take a nice bite out of the numbers rather than 6-10 a go.

 

[Armageus]

Only logical explanation is that 2 cards went into pre-builds, there was a multi card order that slipped through the net or staff ninja'd 2 cards lol

My thoughts are Pure speculation though?

Further speculation, but could also be RMAs for cards that were earlier in the queue?

Good point about the price. And performance probably wont make any difference. But an interesting turn of events. Prices for current 3080 pre-orders seem to be jumping all over the place when comparing the original RRP... I don't think my order will be shipping anytime soon, so plenty of time to ponder!
