Morning All,
Thought I'd share another update from my email exchange with the lovely Becky on the ASUS UK sales e-mail. I'm 19 in queue for a 3080 Strix Non-OC and so as you can imagine, after managing to get in super early on launch day, somewhat annoyed I'm still waiting and that there is uncertainty as to whether the card is even shipping right now. Especially as I was going to go for an OC card and decided to save myself £20 at the last minute (don't ask my why, as even I dont know what I was thinking in Hindsight)
We've had conflicting info from ASUS UK who said all cards were being produced equally on their Facebook Page vs. ASUS US and whomever Gibbo has heard from are saying they aren't.

Hey Andy,
Happy Friday!
I have just been informed that an official statement will be released on UK social media next week providing updates.
I appreciate how patient you have been and hopefully the statement released next week will be very helpful.
Thanks
Becky
I'm hoping next week means early next week, but if they are holding on putting something out I can't imagine its going to be "thanks for waiting but cards are now on their way", I'm not too hopeful for good news.
If its not, I think I might start looking at another card, and likely not from OCUK as its pretty evident that other retailers are having more luck with securing stock, and I have no interest in getting the back of some of the queues they've got going here after what originally felt like winning the F5 race back in September.
