Saw the word 'Aero' and got excited. Then read it properly. Why are MSI more interested in shipping 1070 Aero than 1080?


I got 10pc Aero OC 1080 landing with OcUK tomorrow/Friday, give our sales a call and ask them to change your regular Aero to the OC for same price as we shall have 9 units spare.

Same goes for anyone else who ordered 1080 Aero, call sales, they will swap you to OC version for no extra charge and you should have your Aero by Monday latest. :)

First off hi to everyone, I've been reading this forum like a newspaper for the past couple of weeks.

What would be the odds of CS letting me change my Strix OC order to a standard Strix or the Gaming Strix?

Change to standard Strix, more likely to arrive first, just call them and they will sort for you no issues. :)

Nah tried that, they are only offering the G1 at the same price :(


Yes only G1, I thought you mean you just wanted to change your order to another card which you can do but the price would be website price.

On G1 we will match the price of the card you previously ordered, if it was an Asus Strix OC.

I'm waiting for an X3 too .CS just told me they're expecting some in any day. Would've thought Inno3d might have sent them at the same time as the X4's but then again i don't know how they work it. 17th in queue and hoping..

22nd here, hoping it won't be too much longe....

Inno3D X4 1080 in stock! X3's due end of next week, only 15 recieved so far!

...oh.

Asus Turbo 1080 in stock, still awaiting updates on Strix cards, we have a few hundred G1 1080 incoming, maybe some people wish to swap their Asus to a G1 (we will do the Gigabyte at the same price as you paid for Asus, even those who paid £619.99, just call sales to swap the order over).

Will you do something similar for Inno3d buyers? I'd pay an extra £20 to switch from an x3 to an x4, just not the extra £120 that's been tacked on due to sterling issues since I put my order in.

If I could I would, but we are losing money on those pre-orders at original prices buddy. Best we could do would be the X4 at current X3 price if that helps. If so email / webnote sales this link saying I will do you an X4 at CURRENT X3 price.

A competitor has strix cards in stock (though not the oc variation), might need to crack the whip with asus to get the thumb out.

Nah you're OK chief, that's still an extra £100 for functionally the same card, getting a 1080 was pushing my budget to the limit as-was. I'll just wait, thanks anyway.

But we also had stock for the last few days, we've now sold them all.
I cannot help the fact it takes competitors longer to shift a smaller quantity of stock.

Some of us are great, others are just average. ;)
