Sigh. I don't have VR yet as waiting until second gen so I'm not sure I really need the VR link but it was nice thinking I was getting one anyway! I did have my suspicions when 'premier pack' started floating around.

Now stick or swap for the next card in stock. Think I'll hold out for the rest of the week and if no news I might just swap after all.

re the gigabyte extreme Not sure i would be happy with that ...you would think it would come with them goodies already being @ £660

We better be quite on this kind of thing ...as next they will be doing it to the EVGA FTW cards next where they will be a FTW extreme that will come with more goodies + VR stuff but will cost £50 extra so wonder how many peeps would upgrade throw even more money at sumit they have already been waiting for well over two weeks...

Sry to be so negative chaps but i would be pretty ***** having waited this long with money taken ect....

Ya, I was also trying to figure out the two different versions of the Gigabyte Xtreme. The press releases and both Gigabyte US and UK websites only list the "package" card. I didn't know the original pre-orders were for the card only and no accessories. Maybe someone at OCUK could elaborate.

Just called to check on my FTW order - I was 171st 8 days ago, and today I am 25th (but not including Amazon orders, so maybe around 35th he reckons). Apparently a LOT of people cancelled...

Also ETA to receive FTWs is still Friday. IF they get them on Friday, will be delivered Monday as I got DPD next working day.

That must be 125th surely, I was originally 145 or something (PO 28th), I asked 2 days ago and I was about 105, unless almost everyone has cancelled in the last day or 2. but if that is true then I will be below 25th, which would be great, but seems like a massive amount of cancellations, maybe you should confirm it was correct and not 125th. What date did you PO it?

The normal gaming version came with a CD and some basic instructions. Not that I care for all the other bits but that is the worst accessories I have ever seen :D

Yeah, I'm poking fun a bit at the premium edition...as I don't have the premium edition on preorder and am petty like that!

Edit:
Oh no, I realised that I misspelt 'least' in my last post and it got quoted three times immortalising my mistake. It's like my recurring nightmare all over again.

Hmm, I was 43rd in the queue for the SC and nothing for me just yet. Still hoping for shipment email to arrive later..

I think the queue doesn't include Amazon payment orders, so you may actually be above 50.

I hope for your sake you're not though!

Yeah, it was a bit spare, but thinking about it you probably shouldn't be buying a GTX 1080 if you need a DVI to VGA adaptor.

And if you PSU don't have 1 8pin PCI-E power plug you probably need a better PSU not a molex adaptor. :D
