Too late for me. Only waterforces left
Managed to get myself a 3080. I was 74 in queue for a trinity non oc. Best of luck to all in getting your chosen cards.
It's fine thanks, a bit too high price I think anyway. Until this card breaks I don't fancy bending overThey have a couple of 6800 cards available and I know of a site which has stock of the rtx 3070 aorus if you wanted.. Just PM if needed.
Nice.. I attempted to get the EVGA but to no avail. What did you end up with?
Clearly prices are hiked but seems this company are getting a lot of regular stock and keeping things a bit more active.
Quick question here after skimming a fair few pages of this - are all these wait times etc for the initial batches sold? Or have there been drops here that have been available for people to purchase to get in the line. I havent really looked into it since day dot, and just wondering what the situation is. Obv it seems like theres still a large backlog, but wondering if this is just the original one, or a growing one.
EDIT: Have come across the updates thread but just not sure that effectively is a 'Covering existing' or a few pieces to try and buy type of update
Thanks
Gigabyte Auros master oc. Never had gigabyte before. Quite excited about installing it.

I think they said that they won't consider queues until all backorders are cleared - even then I'd imagine that they might not bring them back, at least not for high in demand items. The drop them in batches approach of a certain other retailer (who has a basket queue system), seems to be easiest and probably most profitable approach.
Yeah the drops suck. Other than for the lucky minority, its a frustrating experience. You start to accept larger and larger costs just to get out of it, and will likely end up spending £900+. Which I nearly did only to get beat by the basket race. I managed to bag a 3070fe on Friday afternoon, after 2 months of chasing notifications and F5'ing, and even buying 3 times from 3 different major uk retailer's, only to later have them cancelled. I'd sit for days with nothing, only to take a break or just turn away at the wrong time, and the drops happened....like Friday morning!
Anyway, I didn't want a 3070, but it will keep me lit until my trio arrives and then my wife can have it. In the end it means I get a 3070 and a 3080 at msrp - which is a win in my book.
OK guys, I am selling myself into slavery for a week(?) in exchange for a 3080. If your anesthetic is genuine, you may also cut me open and take any organs I have in duplicate for a nice 3080 OC card. I will be your workhorse and performing monkey - whatever you like as long as its non sexual - and am willing to be used for target practise, weapons testing, medical experiments or as a general punch bag to help you take out your covid anger. The only thing I need in working order upon my release are arms and eyeballs so I can do some gaming when my slavery ends. Who can help me secure a 3080 card?
I second this. The random 3AM stock drops I've seen some retailers do is ridiculously anti-consumer for all but the most hardcore.I hope ocuk dont change to such a nonsense system, been able to order and queue up is far superior, I dont have time to sit refreshing 24/7.
I would rather order once, wait 6 months, than refresh like a robot and maybe get in 3 months.
Dropping in batches for in stock orders only is probably the worst approach and I dont understand why retailers keep persisting with it. So please Gibbo dont do that and keep the backorder system open.
