I don't think there are/will be any. There were a few last week I am guessing that was what was produced Pre-Golden week. I think it will be dry for a week or two as the Asian Holiday shows impact and we will hopefully see MSI sized (OK-Large volumes) first two weeks of November, this way I get mine for CP2077 hehe (143 in queue). This being said a competitor is expecting a delivery this week 21-23rd on GB but this could be the AUROS cards that Gibbo mentioned and were tweeted last week...

I'm hopeful we'll start seeing some come in before the end of October based on what @GIGA-Man said. Probably small or very small amounts though. Then fingers crossed for some large shipments in November. I'm at 257 in that queue though, so I'm doubtful about getting it in time to play Cyberpunk on it. I'm holding out hope that I might see my card before the end of the year, but any sooner than that feels overly optimistic. It's not like I bought the card just for Cyberpunk, but I only decided to buy at launch because of Cyberpunk, so if I don't have the card before 19th November a lot of the joy will be taken out of the purchase for me. Not an ideal situation tbh, no one wants to feel upset by their decision to buy an expensive luxury item. It kinda defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place. I just hope the improved performance of the card is enough to make up for the stress of trying buy the bloody thing.

At one point, I thought we would be needing world-class criminal lawyers after someone claimed to have called the police on OCUK because he didn't get his preorder the next day or because the price went up whilst he was checking out; I forget.

Those first couple of days after the disastrous day one launch were hilarious.

I do wonder....
If you already have a 2080 on a sub standard rig. Say an i7 in a poor motherboard with a slow SSD.

Would you be well advised to cancel the 3080 and use the cash to upgrade around your existing 2080? Uplift on pcie 3.0 is not going to be massive, is it?

PCIe 4.0 vs 3.0 will make no difference. How old/what model are the i7 and MoBo, I'd imagine most will still be decent for 4k gaming. I'm rocking an 8700k and getting a 3080 and I'd expect negligible difference compared to 9700k and 10700k in gaming. There are benchmarks on YouTube showing no discernable difference and 4k and 1440p between these 3. Unless you're going back a really long way on the i7 or wanting really high refresh 1080p you'd still get significant uplift.

Gigabyte rep said 2 weeks for shipents so what more you want ?? how many to ocuk no one knows.

Tell me yer position in queue and i tell you if ya gonna get card before DECEMBER if ya are pass 300 in queue dont even think ya will get one before December.

If december not good enough for You feel free to cancel preorder and try luck anywhere You can. Cause moaning every day wont cahnge **** cards comign in sensible numbers december that's it.
 
Even shipping 400 cards/month of each brand it's not enough to supply all the orders before 2021, it's really annoying and this happens in every seller.
 
@Gibbo I've done my fair share of moaning about updates tbh. Want to say the last couple of days those kind of updates being more clear and frequent are spot on. Thanks
 
Just got off the phone to OCUK, couldnt give me any time frame for my expected EAGLE OC 3080 delivery, (being 2nd in que) he did say tho. That people who ordered after launch day. or the week prior... will likely be expecting the cards to be delivered AFTER xmas..... Really am dissapointed in the whole situation regarding the EAGLE OC's especially as they was listed as 23rd Expected Delivery........ Ah well..... being 2nd could be a lot worse i suppose.... Everyday i check forums looking for solace. but its more depressing the more i check!

So.... I will NOT be checking or posting here, further more i conclude that OCUK will now be my last place i order anything from... First and last time...

Take care everyone! really hope things turn out well for everyone! I may or maynot drop an update ONCE i get a delivery email... ! Peace out!!
