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

Thanks for the info, I have had a Zotac card before and it was cool, quiet and faultless!
Again though it's preorder and quite a lot more than what I paid for the Strix
We can only switch over G1's for same price as Strix I am afraid.

Hi there
Some good news!
All Zotac 1080 backorders cleared, with some stock left over!
1080 G1 in stock !
MSI shipped following due start of next week:
GTX1080 Gaming X 30
GTX1070 GAMING X 180
GTX1070 armor 40
GTX1070 aero 20
N750Ti-2GD5TLP 100
Inno3D X4 1080 in stock! X3's due end of next week, only 15 recieved so far!
3x more 1080 WaterForce from Gigabyte today! No updates on PP or Extremes!
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).
Gibbo, you are a godsend, got my Strix swapped for a G1. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Yes. We are only doing this for customers who have had an Asus Strix on pre-order, but we also do not mind doing it on EVGA as well, but we will only match the price you pre-ordered your relevent card at.
At £619.99 on G1 is essentially our cost on it using a rate of 1.30, so were just trying to sort the customer out who have being waiting.
We have around 40pc G1 left right now!
We have 150-300pc more due by end of next week!
So to repeat, pre-orders for Asus strix will be changed over at the price you paid, so if you paid £619, the G1 will be £619, if you paid £659 then the price will be £659, NOT £619, THIS IS NOT OPEN FOR NEGOTIATION, don't like it, then simply wait or cancel your order. Were trying to help but at same time were also not a charity.
Long time Strix order holder here. Gave in and bought a Zotac Amp Edition for an extra £40 a few minutes ago only to see your post, immediately call up and switch the Strix to the G1 and cancel the Zotac.
Thank you for letting us switch. My faith in OCUK remains strong. My faith in Asus is destroyed. I hope the G1 is good!

This is excellent Gibbo, thank you.
Last week I ordered a G1 because of the delays with the Strix but I kept my Strix pre-order in place. Had this deal been available then I'd have done it.
To save me the hassle of returning the G1 under the distance selling regs, can I just call customer services, cancel my Strix and get a partial refund on the G1. I'll then be happy and others can get their Strix sooner.

Appreciate the update.
Torn between waiting for my Strix pre-order
Changing to the G1 for same price or
Changing to the Zotac and paying the extra money.
Thoughts!?

G1 has a great cooler that will do the job, might boost close to 2GHz, ask for owners feedback as we have shipped a few hundred G1's now I think.
Zotac is my personal favourite and I personally would pay more to own it, better cooler, RGB, better power phase and 5yr warranty.

Not sure if amazing salesman or genuinely serious.
Either way I've decided to go with the Zotac AMP Extreme and pay the extra £75 since I'm already making a whole in my bank account. Had a history of ASUS cards but this time they have seriously let me down. Many thanks for the updates!
We never sold Asus Strix OC at that price. Our launch price was £619.99 inc. VAT, which is £516.66 exc. VAT and this was an error by Asus as the correct launch price was £659.99 inc. vat and is why the price went up a few days after launch.

Gibbo any chance of a discount code for the AMP extreme? haha

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