I always said that this GPU situation would get worse before it gets better but never thought it would end up this bad! Here we are nearly 7 months with very little to no comunication from NVIDIA/AMD/AIB's as to if/when this situation will get any better. The optics aren't very good when they announce new models knowing full well that there are thousands of customers waiting for pre orders for 30 series cards & no doubt AMD cards too. You would think they would all be working hand over fist to satisfy those first!
Not only are
@Gibbo &
@ScottiB playing a blinder within these forums but also all the backroom staff of OCUK, the unsung heroes. We are all too quick to vent on them when we perceive we are being wronged as they are the only ones who regularily respond whether good news or bad. OCUK are doing their damnest to "do the right thing" & keep the majority of the customer base happy. Just keep in mind they are human too & also have feelings!
I have been waiting since nearly day 1 for a Strix 3080 non OC & am at queue 126 approx. I am in no position to cancel my order due to financial restrictions but I am prepared for the worst if it comes to it, hopefully not. I am a very patient person so will quietly wait it out fingers, arms & legs crossed.
