I will wait with patient for rtx 3090, no hurry with 2080 Ti actually.
The other big computer place does free shipping for forum members as well. Not this forum though.
I can't believe how much criticism these retailers are getting for not having enough stock. As if they expect some god given right to buy a card on launch day. If you don't want to wait you can ask for a refund, nobodies running away with your money.

I saw Gibbo’s comment earlier along with others trying to justify why people’s cards changed price in their shopping baskets....and thought maybe lessons might be learned for next week. I understand the key issue is supply from Nvidia and vendors are dealing with unprecedented demand - with some being more transparent about it than others. I fully expect the FE editions to go in seconds again so my hope rests with OC as it has done over the past 3 GPU upgrades. Time will tell I suppose and if I’m fortunate enough to get in early once they go live then I might stand a chance. But as has been case, dropping £1500+, having payment taken with no confirmation of stock at point of sale, then not having an ETA is making me think holding fire altogether is the way to go.Gibbo has already said that after the 3080 yesterday he will not be selling any 3090 at MSRP
I have also seen on Nvidia forums that they sold out worldwide of 3080FE within minutes and currently they have no date as to when they will have more stocks! Really starting to believe the crap that they just built a few so they could call it a launch.
since 3080 are just failed 3090 chips and there is sure to be more failed than passed I reckon 3090 stocks will be even less than 3080 stocks.
You've bought an item during a human generated ddos attack on the website you've bought from.
Ring them.
It's not really about the stock it's about all the secrecy surrounding the entire launch. And taking people's money who thought they were ordering something that would be dispatched next day
Welcome to the 21st century where people will even fight to the death over a loo roll.
NVIDIA put heavy restrictions on retailers who weren't allowed to talk stock numbers. Most of that secrecy is NVIDIAs fault.
I don't know why you're so miffed that they charged your card for a pre-order when you can simply ask for a refund? It was clear demand was going to outstrip supply and that not everyone would be able to get a card.

Trust me, I tried today but no luck. I've created a thread in the order query bit and hope someone sees it soon. Just my luck!
People really handing over £1400+ for a 3090 that is 20% faster than the 3080....
it's the only upgrade for a 2080ti owner what else are they supposed to do
I'm not upset I didn't order anything. I don't understand why you are in full defence mode.
By Secrecy I meant all of Nvidias pre launch rules obviously covering up the true stock numbers.

No man... I been a PC gamer all my life. It's just I do not OC my GPU's that all. These days I don't even overclock the CPU either. I only have an OC applied to my ram as it makes a difference other than that I just I like to run things stock.
I think my question is valid. £30 difference. But does it even make a difference because the cards will boost anyway right, so the factory overclock might not make much of a difference and if the coolers are the same... then what the extra £30 for?
Did you manage to buy a card yesterday?

So, I tried to order from overclockers yesterday from 2pm but the site had so many issues, I managed to get a card ordered from a competitor at 14:05pm
The issue for me and this is across all the sites, not just OCUK so must have come from higher up is that there has been so much secrecy from the off.
So I managed to order an MSI gaming X Trio like I have said at 14:05 from a competitor, on their site and here on OCUK it was down as being delivered the next day, so the 18th September I would have my card... NOPE. I messaged them today and they won't tell me when the cards are in stock, they won't tell me where I am in the queue and the only thing they would say is I am near the front. That doesn't help if I don't know when these cards are in stock, I only went for MSI as it stated it would be with me today, even Monday or Tuesday would be fine but I no other info than near the front.
So my big gripe is advertising the cards, with dates that you would receive them which has turned out to be false.

- No reviews or details until 24 hours before release
- No details on AIB cards on speed and boost until point of sale
- No clarity on how many cards are in stock
- Some cards being given a delivery date but this not being fulfilled
- Refusal by retailers to tell you where you are in the queue

Few more weeks and people will be exchanging their 3080s for a loo roll again.
Ouch! Not good.
