I'm **** well going to be picky! I have the money and an actual need for a RTX card due to some stuff I'm doing but I'm not going to be a mug.

Hope Nvidia has some FE models then mate this week or maybe next week. I really didn't want a 3090 FE after seeing when opened they sometimes don't work right Steve at nexus thought there was a tamper detection but he called Nvidia and they said nothing and hes not first to have a FE do weird behaviour after opening it up. So no idea and I also wanted a 3 x 8pin card without the silly 12pin nvidia Y splitter or having to buy a new cable for my psu. Just a matter of time the thermal paste may need changing and the FE looks like a nightmare to do that. I normally never do but who knows if it may need doing after a while with cards that can pull 400w (3090 FE) and cook the thermal paste hard over time.

You will they only allocate stock they have, i purchased from them yesterday, once in your basket you have 15 minutes to buy it and held for you after that it becomes free to others to buy it. if in stock its in stock at the other retailer , same with OCUK if in stock its in stock.

I don't mind spending a bit over the FE price (for the right card) but 3070s above 3080 MSRP is just LOL and I'm disappointed that nVidia and retailers are doing this.

I purchased a Zotac on Saturday that was labelled as two units in stock. No movement on the order and then support told me it was an error and that the system hadn't caught up. Albeit i also have proof that folks who ordered 20 minutes after me got their order, so as you can imagine my faith in what OC shows is low to say the least.

well other site is 100% because they only sell whats in stock, OCUK can sometimes mess that up or many orders went in at same time. Other site doesnt allow that to happen with their system.

It's the one place in existence where if I get an order in with them I am 99% certain the item will arrive. I got a day 1 5950x order in with them. Was never in doubt that it was coming. Arrived next day.

I've just ordered this and had confirmation of it being shipped, to be delivered tomorrow, so looks like they are in stock. Much more than I wanted to spend on it but I'm exhausted checking forums, groups, trying to buy cards which don't exist...

£660 for a 3070 lol only £190 more than the founders that is some expensive rgb.

When you're sat here rockin' a Intel IGP because you convinced yourself to wait for a 3070 for your first PC build, all while you dodge Watchdogs Legion videos on YouTube and you spend your evenings refreshing forums, and joining Telegram groups which ping throughout the day... that extra amount doesn't seem so bad ;)

Well tomorrow you will have it in your hands if you paid for next day :). Good stuff hope you enjoy it, because all the pain waiting has killed it for me a little and hated the idea to give Nvidia money for the headache, but rather them then AMD drivers and AMD GPU headaches. AMD cpus converted love them, GPUs humm will let others test this generation first before I realise I end up with the ATI Radeon HD 5870 nightmare again where they broke all my flight sims in one driver update and for me reporting it on their forums with others and showing how the drivers are broken we all got banned from the forums lol.. Since then never purchased a AMD/ATI GPU again.

I may grab 6900XT to test but I doubt it, curious what they have done with the RDNA2 but something smells fishy with how they sold it to us, like the 5000 series cpus, yes they are great but reality no one games at 720p and 1080 when they buy a 5950x or 5900x...even a 5800x, 1440p and up was really no difference.

It will be in my hands as I just received DPD next day dispatched tracking so happy atm. Thank you again for the tip, this is a huge upgrade from gtx970 and the exact model for my itx case. Never had AMD GPUs and don't think I will have anytime soon. Also good to mention it was £75 cheaper than here.
