I also thought that retailers were not allow to charge your card until dispatch. That was definitely the case a few years ago anyway.
Using preorder is definitely fishy.

Hoping so badly for my queue position to move today! I got an update on Wednesday but after the launch of the 3070 and the AMD announcements, I'm hoping some have cancelled 
Some Gigabyte Gaming OC news would be nice today.
Hardly seen any updates / stock since ordering on 17th September. I'm in position 142 I think and my first update I was at 163.
I ordered based on eta 23rd September I think around 10:30pm.
Never would have thought I'd still be waiting all this time. Surely we need to see some sort of ramping up in stock availability soon?

it's just a really big turd it really is. gigabyte dodo oc nothing in 5 weeks its a 6900xt for me if i can get one can't wait to see what Saruman comes up with for the dodo update today and Q position.
nobodies questioning. The fact they havn't stopped taking pre-orders means when they do its quite an occasion and means somethings up. It was sarcasm

The ok amount of eagles was in transit via horse and carriage last we heard lol,
Been over a week since there were first mentioned, hopefully they show up today, at the very least to get me near the front of the queue, fingers crossed for a shipping email though

Just FYI, got an email from a competitor saying the EVGA XC3 ultra I ordered Wednesday is delayed. Should have been out for delivery today. 
Sounds about right, these pesky 3080s are the current hide and seek world championsJust FYI, got an email from a competitor saying the EVGA XC3 ultra I ordered Wednesday is delayed. Should have been out for delivery today.

Yup. No money has been taken yet, so just goin to leave the order pending for now.
*Sigh* from one queue to another....
Yeah, unless you drop lucky it's just the way it is atm, probably until next year

Got the same email here...the difference being that I'm 99% certain the competitors order will be in my hands before my Asus Non-OC Tuf here, and as you say, no money taken...so I'm good for the moment

Near my house there is a bird sanctuary where there are eagles. They aren't completely extinct, just seems that way. In fact I will see a couple today when I go for a walk later.
Got to say that after the 23rd September promise that misled most of us to buy the ugly card, and the fact that we are now all stuck in a queue that is far longer than it should have been due to the false promise, those waiting for eagles haven't complained too much. I think the tactic with OC is to expect the worst. At Q245 I certainly don't expect one before Xmas and would still be surprised if I get one at all. I for one certainly don't "believe" as I have seen no reason to, it took 6 weeks for me to get a queue position never mind a card.
Lets just see how many cards arrive in the 2 expected deliveries, if half of what is expected to be delivered go towards this queue I will be surprised.
