Speed binned chip and that's about it
We had 8, then 14 and then 10. Plus 33 due early next week.
Asus I have to say absolutely shocking, stating 1000 were coming into the UK a week ago, turns out they actually meant 1000 cards including all Pascal so 1070's as well which now makes more sense as we had 300 units of 1070 Strix cards delivered.
It's unfortunate, but I ain't swapping my card now with the price rises, classified it is, I'm sure it will be a great card.
Day what ever without the FTW cards I am 160 something in the cue. I was told by my lord commander that OCUK had gotten 50 in stock. I should be if my calculation is correct 110th something in the cue. I received a raven this morning from what seemed to be OCUK HQ. I have been told that the 16th is when the next batch is in coming. If I get a raven back of order confirmation the whole GPU watch will cheer. Until then its work ahead.
My lord commander does not lie.
Yet nvidia and manufacturers and nvidia fanboys all claim its down to the unprecented demand for the card......
So from that we can assume asus only expected to sell 8 cards in the first week? Yeah, right
I fail to see how nvidia and manufacturers can keep defending the situation as its being unprecedented demand. There are clearly issues with the making of the chips and/or the cards.
Either that or the enthusiast market is even less than the one or two precent stats show.

Some people like myself wont receive cards until August most probably and asking for an accurate ETA your more likely going to see a question answered more directly in parliament.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the making of the chips, its just wherever they are stocked they fly off the shelves. For example I follow an EVGA guy on twitter, he generally announces when cards go on sale and they're sold out. it takes literally less than 10 minutes for everything to sell out.
I've watched 4 such events thus far in the past week alone. It sure seems to me that a lot of people are buying these cards, not just our perception of the enthusiasts crowd.
It's definitely not just the 1% buying everything!
that you ricky?
Why bother with a couple **** sticks when you could have the whole **** trawler Mr Lahey?

All you Asus Strix 1080 OC pre-order people just switch. Who the hell knows when your GPU is coming? I waited 45 days for my FTW and I was about to go crazy!
Glad the drama of the 1080 pre-orders journeys over for me. My EVGA 1080 FTW comes tomorrow.
