I think its fair to say the Aorus cards are certainly a superior product.
If it was my money and I was buy a 2080Ti then I'd buy the Aorus Extreme.

They're superior because of what exactly? Led's on the fan? Or is this being pimped as superior as you said as while back msi's new staff either don't like the uk or ocuk in general? :confused:

When I worked in manufacturing we could give out expected delivery dates as we were an organised company if ocuk really does not know when stock is arriving because their suppliers havent got a clue either, then that really is a shambles.

Down to nvidia as well launching with seemingly a load of 2080's (which barely anyone wants) vs a small number of ti's which is the only feasible upgrade for anyone on a 10-ti or vega 64.

Yeah now I read what gibbo said about MSI, then yes MSI is a shambles, I would actually refuse to sell their product with that kind of treatment, tell them to either ship out, or their product is been removed of product pages.

I am speaking with Galax about maybe bringing HOF to UK market as we've done in past as those are normally insane cards

Are they good sellers m8? They always seem to look good but seem to have the odd flaw or two compared to the competition.

Ordered my 2080Ti MSI Trio on the announcement date too, it's a shame no stock has been received for overclockers.

I wish I could swap it for the AORUS Xtreme version now, but I'm not willing to pay more to do so.

Who let you swap over to the Aorus cards?

The OCUK Sales dept, but this hasn’t meant queue jumping. All I’ve done is cancel my MSI Trio order and place a new order for the Aorus Ti. Doing it quickly after this thread appeared means I’m high up the queue for the Aorus, but there’s no preferential treatment thanks to the MSI cluster***k.

I ordered a MSI Duke and with no stock available ( not OcUK fault ) I cancelled my order got a new arous extreme coming my way when they get stock . I have to say that OCUK have been exellent with there service as I had a couple of problems which they sorted wit out any hassle for me ..

Spoke to OC UK today and they kindly said i could swap over and cancel my MSI Duke 2080 Ti to get a Palit or Inno3D one. Should i do it?

Azrael1 · 23 Oct 2018 at 21:36

From what I have read they are all reference cards with different coolers. Doesn't the MSI have 3 year warranty not sure on Palit or Inno warranty though.

scubes · 24 Oct 2018 at 07:46

Get a Aorus card I did .

Squid Vicious · 24 Oct 2018 at 07:54

I expect there's a reason why both inno and palit cards have no stock issues...

Its simple they are not well known and not as wanted compared to the other cards. Everyone wants Strix / EVGA / MSI etc

But it's not like those are flying of the shelves. They have never been on the shelves to begin with!

Yeah but they had none in stock of the Gigabyte one. :/

Xilneas · 24 Oct 2018 at 21:56

Do we know if there is actually stock coming in for the AORUS Xtreme? Or is that still pending too?

2-4 weeks from preorder date according to gibbo.
