They are providing updates, they provide a weekly email with queue position for everyone

No, are not providing weekly updates. I got one email in 29 september, since that nothing.

They said they give updates when they ship the card you ordered. IF you are X in the queue and they ship 100 card, u will get a mail you are now X-100 in the queue. It's not weekly.

I understand them they cant say anything, its NOT up to them anymore, its on the Gigabyte or whatever card we talk about factory (mine is Gigabyte Eagle OC).

They sent their requests to the manufacturers, after that they can only provide information if the manufacturer provides them information, or if they ships them cards.

It's sad, and frustrating, but its better to have NO information/no ETA, than bad information and get disappointed.

I am already prepared to wait few months. :/ Thou for me it would be for streaming, I wait for the new card so I can restart streaming on twitch.
(I stopped for about a year, because I had a heart attack, but I want to come back now). Everyone chill, and relax. Eventually we all get our GPU! :D

There is really no point to stress, or cancel order until we see cards appearing "in stock" in shops.

So basically.. a big retailer has discontinued the non OC Asus models and that usually only happens when they are either not being produced or there are no orders/deliveries for them taking place for the forseeable future. No need to name names as such..

It's kinda been the word on the street, for the Strix non oc, but not the tuf non oc. But even so, its not confirmed, just rumors from a guy who knows a guy.. etc.

Edit: but they are still listing them too (no stock ofc), so take it with a grain of salt?

I heard something similar regarding the non OC Asus cards (just a rumour though). What I'm concerned about is what overclockers plan to do for those in the queue (like myself) if it turns out to be true. I'm sure they will refund everyone, but at what point? and is it worth just cancelling now to get a better place in a different queue? I'm inclined to think they will just hang onto the money indefinitely until everyone cancels otherwise based on this current shambles.
If the driver issues with my 5700xt hadn't put me off ever buying an AMD card again I'd just cancel now and wait for big Navi.
 
If it is true about the 20gig 3080s this December and I have a pre order for the 3080 oc strix would I be able to pre order the 20gig and just pay the diffrence instead of cancelling my order as it looks like the 20gig will release before my card even ships
 
If it is true the non OC is discontinued I just wish somebody would bloody tell me for certain. I don't care if I lose my damn place at this point I'll just try my luck getting one

Cool. I appreciate you're trying your best in pretty mad circumstances.

If Asus discontinued the non OC then that would be beyond obnoxious.

After delivering a few dozen worldwide. Would be amazing.

I'm still expecting mine. Maybe I'm a fool?

Well, it still appears everywhere, inc the store the person who posted about it, referred to.
My guess is, the more expensive OC ones where the majority of ones to go by air, because of the cost and that there's more profit in them.. all others will follow in regular shipments, but its just a guess.
Tuf non-oc have been shown to exist, can't recall where but a store listing about 40 80/90 tuf non-oc's having been received.

Right now I think there's no call for panic. If Asus acknowledged the ROG non OC were discontinued, it would follow that they'd do the same for the TUF if it had the same status with them, right?

I'm nervous because that's my card, I'm not even high in the queue! But if it's gone then they'd have to say so at some point if they want us to buy the ones they ARE making... just my logic.
 
I'm guessing the Asus non OC models that have been discontinued include the TUFs? If so, that's pretty ******. This launch is easily the worst in tech history, and I'll definitely be changing to team red if this is the case. **** Nvidia, **** Asus and **** OCUK!

I'll hold off till I either get a card elsewhere... or hear anything official. I expect to see more non OC showing up next month if the rumour is false

It's worth noting that originally they said after stock ships, but I think for some people stock movement was so slow that people were having no updates and getting mad. The last update for everyone seems to be a weekly update that everyone got, I was there on the forums as it happened and the thread jump 4-5 pages immediately with people giving updates, and some people literally moving 0 places, which suggests they moved from a "update when new stock comes in" to "update weekly" instead.

People with literally no updates are in the minority which makes me think it's more likely to either be a bug and you're really unlucky. Or that it's something like anti spam catching the email and deleting it.

Shame it doesnt mention the strix non oc... which is what I have ordered
 
I've not actually seen any non Tuf cards in anyone's hands only the OCs. Perhaps Asus will only be supplying the OCs keep SKU count down. I doubt they would just cancel all preoders for non OC cards and it would probably be in their best interest to supply all those waiting for a non OC card with an OC version.
