Exactly some people completely understand it, common sense, or they have run a business or does business studies or simply understand mathematics.
Whereas others think were out to get them, the reality this whole GBP weakening means we ship a over a million pounds worth of VGA stock and if we pay at todays rates were lucky to even break even, let alone make money.
Price increases are based on our new landed cost using a rate of 1.31-1.32, whereas PO's for 1080 and 1070 were all placed using rates of 1.42-1.45 and on parts that cost well over $600 for us to buy, that kind of rate change and effect our cost by well over £60.
The sooner the rate get back to 1.40 and higher the better, because with prices shooting up everywhere, people will be less inclined to buy, even I myself will start reducing PO quantities if things do not improve as we simply won't want to build up stocks when pound is weak, so I buy less, you buy less, everyone buys less.
BAD TIMES!
All Gaming X orders cleared!
Switch right now this second and you will have one tomorrow, we have 10pc Gaming X 1080 in FREE stock but they will sell crazy fast!
Though you do not care, but if we pay at todays exchange rate, we lost money on your order.
Thats how bad this exchange rate business is!
But not your problem, enjoy the card because the GLH really does go like hell, crazy fast card out the box!
Stock is coming in the thousands, sales are even greater. NVIDIA did not expect demand to be above Maxwell, yet it is quite considerably higher, so guess it caught them out.
However some real good volumes arriving now on 1070 and 1080 should see big number in next week or two as well.
We now have several custom cards in stock on both 1080 and 1070!
I spoke to Asus in depth about this over beers at the conference and even suggested a V2 SKU with say an 1855MHz boost to improve yield rates. However they re-assured me to do this would take 3-4 weeks and they actually plan and hope to have cleared all 1000 of our pre-orders before then with the original full speed OC SKU.
MSI had an issue with Sea Hawk AIO, where the Corsair cooler was not properly contacting the GPU core, it was spotted before shipments commenced but has of course caused a delay whilst the cooler is re-worked to fit correctly and perform correctly.
I am sure your with me that you'd want to receive working cards with no issues, though I will admit it is surprising such issues happen and kind of shows how rushed things have being done a little.
I think some AIB's have released the AIO and Extreme variants a little to soon, compared to Maxwell where at launch we just have mildly overclocked custom cards whereas this time we have AIO's and extreme variants advertised at the GPU launch. Which is great because you can see the range but it is obvious it does mean longer wait times for pre-orders on the more extreme SKU's.
@Gibbo have Inno3d confirmed shipping and were waiting on delivery on delivery.... or am I best jumping ship to a different card? I was hoping Inno3d were just Ninja's and my card would appear without any news but it's not looking likely
Some have arrived and shipped on all SKU's but very small numbers, we shall receive more next week hopefully and a lot more in July.
It is really amazing how fast MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X sold out at this price.
The demand is really high.
Pascal demand is through the roof, would be in the sky if prices were lower, but they still sell like crazy!
They shipped no Aero.
I have raised my concern as to why, they will come back to me. I guess MSI have limited amount of GPU and are shipping the more premium models first, though some Aero did arrive over a week ago, but extremely small numbers and mainly on 1070.
Just ship us 1k FTW and 1k SC Ben, is not a problem buddy, that will clear all these backorders and the OcUK customers will be happy, speak great things about EVGA and put you on their Christmas card list.
The spare stock, no worries it will only take us 24-48hrs to sell anyway.
Its frustrating to see the effects of Brexit on the exchange rate, you guys must be taking quite a loss by honouring the original £619.99 price on our ASUS Strix OC cards that we ordered a month ago. Had I realised that my new build would get £200 more expensive in a week then I may have voted the other way...
That is life, we have to hope that by the time we pay it has recovered somewhat, we cannot win at everything, the most important factor right now is shipping customers pre-orders.
How could they have an RMA rate when they have hardly shipped any.
Do not believe everything you read, if they abandon than it would be due to yield to low and they would re-vise clock speeds.
I shall ask them if any truth in this, but only last week all seemed well.
Few hundred of both 1080 and 1070 G1, still both in stock.
Finally plenty of custom cards in stock on both 1080 and 1070.
I can only upgrade regular orders, I did all of these, Amazon orders I can't do as cannot see them, I did inform CS to upgrade Amazon orders, but no idea on status of what and if all were done.
Hi there
Spoke with Asus HQ this morning, they deny the rumours and state 1080 Strix OC is still in production and that they are just rumours no doubt created by their competitors as they have the no.1 selling 1080.
