Yes you can switch to the G1, but the lowest we can do the G1 is £619.99 but if your happy to pay then fine, call sales and they sall sort for you.
Would it be possible to switch to a G1 from a EVGA 1080 FTW pre-order (made on the 9th this month) ?

More of those just arrived also, the issue is hundreds of Strix orders, so it really depends on how many people are switching.
I'd be calling at 9am personally. If you miss out next large of Gigabyte which is a few hundred is landing next week, so worse case you have one more week or so off waiting.
Unfortunately with Asus we struggle to even get a shipment manifest from them or a schedule, they are not as easy to get information from.
Whereas with MSI and Gigabyte I talk to the MD/CEO's at HQ level, so I can get such information and also much larger stock quantities. This is not because Asus like OcUK less, we've being receiving the lion share of stock, the issue they have had so little and I cannot talk to someone at HQ level, I talk to a guy, who talks to another guy, who then talks to another guy and well you get the idea.
I am sure Asus will come good, but they are simply taking longer.
Gibbo, if you are talking to the CEO's & MD's, can you please answer what is the story behind not getting any Gigabyte's 1080 Xtreme Standard ? It seems that they are sending you all the range of new cards, except for this one. It's starting to be not funny joke. I wouldn't be surprised if all Asus's will get delivered to it's new owners before I will see my card and I'm apparently first in line to get mine. Can you please let us know ?
Will be 47 days without a GPU when I finally receive my Zotac amp extreme! So glad this headache is over and I have seriously lost a lot of respect for ASUS and can't see me using them over competitors again. Will definitely be ordering via overclockers again as CS has been on point! Thanks again for the updates and personal opinions on the zotac Gibbo!

Just in case it helps anyone still waiting, I jumped ship from the Asus Strix OC to the Gainward Phoenix GLH yesterday and got it installed today. Never owned a Gainward before so I was a bit apprehensive.
It's very quick straight out the box and in most reviews it has easily outperformed the Strix thanks to its massive cooler. It really is particularly big so worth checking it fits before you get it. Only 1.5cm spare in my Silverstone FT02 case. It also easily spans 2.5 slots. It also has a massive RGB led panel on the side that looks like a neon sign out of Blade Runner. (Can be turned off) If you can get over this then it is a very quick card.
On default fan settings its silent when idle and the fans barely spin. It will boost to about 2.05Ghz on default fan profiles out the box. Upping the fan to run at between 40-60% and it has held steady at 2.1Ghz for stress tests. It is still barely audible at this fan speed. This is all without tweaking any settings other than the fan speed so I will try some proper overclocking tonight.
If you are still waiting on the Strix then I would jump ship to one of these or the Zotac AMP that is now in stock in a heartbeat. It really does appear to be all about cooling this time round.

Hey Gibbo I'm also wondering about any word at all on the KFA2 cards specifically the hall of fame 1080?
I'm no.1 in the queue but I have heard absolutely nothing from any retailer at all about any sort of availability. Feeling like it will be December when these cards come in lol

Many thanks!

Thanks - I'm still not sure it will fit (would be extremely close either way). I really want to switch my pre-order over to one of these today, but would also still like to get the side of my case on!
Having read some more about the Prodigy, it seems like 2.5 slot coolers are too big. Damn - back to waiting I guess :/

I did post this a few pages back, Gigabyte decided to produce the Extreme PP versions first, I informed them we actually have more orders for regular Extreme and they said they will shift some production over but won't be until later/end of this month the stock lands.
We already had 10 units of HOF 1080 land a couple of weeks ago, next batch will be end of this month or early next month.
The lowest price we can do on the G1 is £619.99 inc. VAT and that is ONLY for customers who are changing their order. New customers pay full retail price!

I might be pushing it here but on my preorder the EVGA SC was same price as https://www.overclockers.co.uk/zota...s-graphics-card-zt-p10800b-10p-gx-102-zt.html
Would you honor the price if I swapped my pre order? The Zotac has better warranty and from what I have read the clock speeds are pretty good. Or would you recommend I just wait for the SC?
If you paid £619.99 or less for your SC, the price is £619.99, if you paid £649.99 for your SC, then the G1 is £649.99
We are ONLY matching the price you ordered at as along as its above £619.99.
