eh..so you are listing all cards as pre order and will only get a card if you pick one in the list that you state you have in stock..well how does the customer knows if that card has sold out and he now pays for a preorder on that card?

Of course the price gauge is to do with the pound being weak!
How could i be that blind!! Its all because of brexit.

UPDATE FOR FORUM MEMBERS - TO INCREASE CHANCES OF GETTING ONE ON LAUNCH DAY!
The following cards are in stock right now and shall be available to order around 14:00 today, quantities are limited and expected to sell out straight away, GOOD LUCK!

- Asus TUF

- Zotac Trinity
Stock arriving over next few days:
- MSI Ventus
- MSI Trio
- Asus TUF
- Palit Gaming Pro
- Gigabyte Eagle
- Gigabyte Gaming
- Zotac Trinity
The numbers incoming are limited, as such the majority will probably be waiting until October to receive a card, as demand at launch will seriously out strip supply this month.
Unfortunately hitting MSRP has proven tough, the MSRP's were set when the pound was 1.33-1.34 this can easily be confirmed by checking charts, and stock has been arriving at OcUK purchased at rates of 1.27-1.29 as such MSRP's are a real struggle. Brands are working with us to allow us to hit MSRP, but unless the pound recovers back to 1.33-1.34 levels then the prices will go up by approximately £30-£40 a card, so do be warned, pre-ordering will save you money but the window of opportunity to do so shall be slim, potentially minutes at 14:00
October shipments are looking much more plentiful, plus hopefully Brexit discussions will find a positive outcome and thus MSRP's shall be met again but unfortunately I cannot predict where the pound shall be in a weeks or months time it could get better and thus prices go back to MSRP (1.33-1.34) or it stays where it is now and prices remain higher or it gets worse.......
Be patient, we do expect huge demand come 14:00 and I realise that many of you won't be getting a card tomorrow so we ask for you to be patient please as we shall be working hard to secure as much more future allocation as possible to meet demand.
NVIDIA have a truly incredible product and you also get the FREE Watch Dogs and GeForce NOW promotion when buying from OcUK also.
This is a heads up for OcUK forum members only, don't post it on other websites it is to give you guys better odds of getting one on release day.
Less than one hour and counting.
Also we have left all cards listed as Pre-Order, even the in stock cards, this is simply again to give forum members a better chance but also because we feel as our website updates every 60s and due to cache can take longer it will help avoid disappointment from customers placing orders for cards showing in stock or 10+ when the stock actually sold out whilst they were ordering but due to the 60s cycle or website cache the customer was unaware.
As such OcUK will not display any cards in stock, even though we have stock on above lines.
BROWSE ALL 3080 SERIES!
Odd how nVidia set their MSRP when the £ was stronger, yet they've not needed to gouge... It's a very ******* rare day you'll ever see me praising nVidia's business practices :/

With all the complaints around the pricing, I do think it's worth bearing in mind that most places haven't even listed prices. At least OC are being transparent.

Stock is extremely limited, OCUK will have stock whilst everywhere is else probably won't, you want it now, you pay the premium for low supply and high demand. The patient people will sit back and let the dust settle and see what AMD has to offer. Not like there is any big games out until November anyway.

Reading the small print of the step up, it would appear to only apply to EU and EEA countries so I assume after 31st December, no.
Not a good card, look elsewhere
Which is best of those available today from Gibbo then you reckon?
Why is the TUF not good?
Edit: which of the £649 ones are worth buying then?
Caporegime
Yep, if I can't get the FE for 649, I am out. Will wait until November.

All this nonsense is doing me wonders. Feeling rather relaxed sitting back. Will wait for Zen 3, Big Navi and maybe even the 20GB variant. Just going to make myself a coffee and watch this all blow over.

+1
Was tempted because of the 5 year warranty, there are still a few cards @ £649, but all only 3 years - not enough when you're spending that kind of money IMO
