July is now looking like zero chance, August likely and September worse case.
Hybrid and Classified were originally looking like end of July, I feel they will both come in August now due to delays on lesser models.
Zotac has the best cooler of them actually on the Extreme model, but then yes Palit and Gainward seem to be a very close second place with their coolers.
Were are in the hands of courier gods, they could turn up today, a week, a month or never.
Gigabyte will be shipping more this week anyway, the lost cards insurance can deal with if they do not turn up.
Do you really think we only order what we sell?
I placed an order for 500 units a month ago, Gigabyte know our demands, just demand for the GPU far outweighs supply from NVIDIA, Pascal is a huge success that has sold well above expectations.
...as well as it was a paper launch only...
1080 was not a paper launch, we had stock, we built a pyramid. We just did not have enough stock.
Only custom cards were paper launch as only FE cards were available and in stock on launch day.
Ah as I'm 300+ in queue I guess I'm not getting this guy anytime soon, maybe shouldn't have traded in my 980TI so eagerly.
At least my 550TI is enough to play Overwatch
Man the stress levels are close to exploding, I want to hunt down Asus and kill them, though they are trying.
Over 200 gigabyte cards lost by courier, EVGA shipment not incoming until later this week and thats just some of the SKU's.
On top of all that I've got about 50 new Corsair SKU's to setup and I am away for meetings next couple of days.
Orders are shipped in date order irrelevent of whether its a system order or not.
Yes we had 6 back orders, first 5 orders have shipped!
Order number 6 was two cards, so if one of you lot ordered a pair yours will ship on the next batch delivered.
I ship orders in date order, not based on value or systems. I am back, I am in control and it is done the fairest possible way.
Date order!
It is possible in my absence when I was at conferences the guys could have prioritised the odd system by error.
Now I am here I oversee all deliveries and push orders through in date order.
They only shipped PP's.
Our competitor messed up their listing on Extremes, they sold PP's as Extremes by error, they have now updated their site.
Aero will begin shipments in a week or two, in short they have only so many 1080 GPU, demand is totally insane and is not easing.
Stock is incoming on all SKU's and when enough stock comes for a line to show in stock it sells out crazy fast. They will not know if GPU shipments will improve until next week but right now they still seeing demand well above supply and doing their absolute best.
One thing is they have shipped us way more 1080 stock than pretty much any other vendor, with Gigabyte in second place.
I'd wait, they have 500 units in HQ for the world allocation on Seahawk AIO X, I have tried to convince them to ship the whole lot to OcUK. I doubt they will but it is likely they will send us 50 units, which is 10% of world allocation for OcUK.
We get very well treated by MSI simply because I am very close friends with a lot of people at HQ level.
So I'd hang fire a few days until I get a shipment report from HQ, once I have it I will let you know if they shipped us the 50 units or more.
This, I'd just like to know where it is or if there are any delays
Ah sorry, I do not see every post. You guys need to understand I look after VGA, RAM, LCD, SSD, CPU, Laptops, plus several meetings a day, the forum is just something I try to update as and when I can, some things get missed.
KFA's 1080's should be week after next, we do not have so many backorders now so the next batch of stock should clear them all.
P.S. Inno3D potentially more 1080 end of next week, plenty of 1070's now in stock on all 1070 SKUs.
Well the rainforest CS have jsut told me that there apparent 195item delivery of EVGA FTW 1080's that were coming in today no longer are and told me to wait another two weeks... I guess OCUK isn't alone
They were never getting any, Ben from EVGA even said so and they won't get any at the pricing they ordered because the landed cost is now vastly higher.
I'd be very surprised if they do not cancel all their orders as they are or were still at pre-brexit prices so they are actually losing money.
Our stock is due Thursday, so were not in the same situation, were in a far better situation and people who ordered will be getting their cards shipped this Thursday/Friday as we have both FTW and SC 1080's landing.
Well said.
Perhaps we should open a new thread and appoint two people to pretend they are EVGA and Asus . We could then vent our frustrations in there leaving only gracious and happy comments for Gibbo and Ben in this thread . I like many others in here am very disgruntled with the amount of time we have been made to wait but have made sure I haven't posted in here while annoyed as these guys have kept us as informed as possible . We have to remember that although the information hasn't always been 100% correct they have done their best and we wouldn't get this level of interaction anywhere else . Foe example Gibbo wasnt even at work today (hope you had a good raceday BTW) but still he logs in here to check out what is going on and Ben travels non stop and still comes here out of hours to answer questions and take abuse .(perhaps if Im nice enough to Ben he might find another 25 units of ftw seeing as im 103rd in the queue lol) In all seriousness though we all know its not their fault and maybe we should give them a break in exchange for more haribo
Xie xie
Yeah true. I've just always disliked the whole take full payment up front for preorder system so I find it amusing that it's now biting them in the bottom
If we did not take money upfront, and charged card today when shipped, the outcome for us is the same, we'd still lose.
Unless what your suggesting is OcUK does not take upfront payment, so then when this happens we simply increase the prices and charge customers the new higher price or cancel their orders. Think if we did latter people would not be so happy.
