** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

Here Gibbo, are you getting 10 or 15 Inno3d X3s in today? Your last post indicated the former but the reply to my webnote checking my place in the queue said the latter(and I'm 18th, so it's a considerable difference assuming they keep sending you roughly the same amounts at the same intervals, heh).

So this happened: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/07/21/titan-x/
Given my 1080 hasn't shown up yet do I cancel?! It will be £1,000 though (Nvidia said $1,200).

Wow this is great news!

I don't have to worry about my 1080 being delayed to a point in time close enough for Titan Pascal to be an option and that throwing the cat among the pigeons again. July 22nd and still no 1080 for me? August 1st for Titan Pascal? Don't care. Why?

$1200 which is twice the price of 1080's
11 Tflops which is incredibly disappointing compared to 1080's 9 Tflops given the 50% performance improvement rumours we heard.
GDDR5X memory when it was assumed big Pascal would be using HBM2 memory for like...forever

Assuming 1080TI is just a slightly lesser performing Titan for less money as is usually the case, this means I don't really care about 1080TI or its launch either.

This now means I'll be perfectly happy with my 1080 when I eventually get it and won't be second guessing myself about whether I should have cancelled, got a placeholder lower powered and priced card and waited for Titan or 1080TI. So its great news in those terms. Of course its bad news that its a very disappointing card compared to what we thought Titan and 1080TI Pascal would be.

Haha, yes. Ordered my strix on May 27th, still no sign of the card. This fact and the extreme lack of communication from Asus (plus nowdays none of the ocuk staff says anything about this) is shocking.

I'm 37th in the queue as of 2 days ago. I could very easily have slipped into the reach of the 33 missing shipment. I'm about to ring up and cancel very shortly in case I am 'unlucky' enough for that to happen. Screw Asus!! May 27th pre-order and no card 2 months later with an Oculus Rift sitting unused all that time since May 28th.
 
Just ordered the Palit Super Jetstream 1080. How do I cancel my Strix order on the website lads? Click into My Orders and my Strix order is there. It says 'Order in Process' Can't see a cancel button? Do I have to ring up customer services to cancel or am I missing something?

Wow, so ordered the EVGA 1080 Classy May 28th, was predicted mid June, by the looks of the shipping update above by Ben its not going to make next week/July either. So the new Titan X is going to be out before the 1080 Classified even gets here.

Think i'll wait to see the price for the Titan X here on overclockers and if its <£1200, cancel the original classified order and just get a Titan X as I'll get it sooner >.>
 
Ahhh now the Titan X... If it came with an after-market cooler, I'd be interested even at those prices (it's a work expense so not the worst thing in the world!).

For now, waiting on my OCUK Strix OC but have also ordered from elsewhere a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Premium Pack, as I like the front bay VR headers (going Strix for the 2 x HDMI). Let's see which comes through first! The other retailer believes I could have the Gigabyte by end of month or close. Hah!

Yeah you have to contact OC and give them your order number.

Went looking for the phone number and it says cancellations should be in writing via the forums, webnote or fax etc. I klnow the webnote system never recognised my order numbers so instead I posted in the Forum Customer service section where I was getting my queue number updates.
