Is this officially licensed by Gundam/Bandai? If it is i can see people buying this as a collectors item tbh, Gundam/gunplas etc are still very sought after. I myself still collect them lol

It's emailed to you within a few days. I got mine within 24 hours

Weren't all of the Watch Dogs codes gone by the time the 3090 release came around (on OCUK at least)? I've had nothing and had assumed that it wasn't coming.

Don't think so, i bought from a competitor and got mine on 3090 release day. Might just be ocuk..

Wut!? They got more cards than game codes! Oh Lordy.

Ordered my Palit 3090 from OCUK on launch day, it shipped that evening and arrived the next day, but I've heard nothing about a Watch Dogs code and seemed to remember seeing a post that OCUK had used up their allocation of codes during the week between the 3080 launch and the 3090 one.

Jay85 · 19 Oct 2020 at 13:27

OCUK confirmed they only had like a 1000 codes. Gibbo was in the process of getting more but never heard anything after that. The amount of cards sold far exceeds the number of codes available.

Wow! That is a real coup for that site " he who should not be named " Bet there's some kickback from Nvidia for that. At least they are actively trying to sort the situation! If I didn't already have a Palit OC I would have jumped at this!

Same if i could see the 3080 i would have nabbed one from them!

HAHA it's insta-out of stock now! I had the card in my shopping cart as well. Wasn't going to actually buy it. Lucky people who were eagle eyed (or bots) got it!

It was in my basket for quite awhile but ultimately i want the 3080 FE not the 3090 as i already have it lol.

Jay85 · 19 Oct 2020 at 13:56

Interesting to see that OCUK has been chosen to stock the FE cards though??

Had my eye on a strix, but just got in an order for a founders coming tomorrow.
I will be using a block, and the strix has a higher power limit. Do I keep the founders?

If it was me I would definitely keep the founders. Presumable well binned, slightly cheaper. You just have to wait for a Founders Edition block to come out. I would, if I was a patient person, which I am not!

Haha,

Yes the block! Sure this is forcing me towards waiting out until Zen 3....

I'm planning a 5900X and Asus Dark Hero build for next month. They are the only two components I need.

So tempting to just get a regular X570 Hero and 3950X but I have held out this long.

Did I say I was patient? Well, I am starting to get a bit impatient. I think if you have an order coming for anything right now, you are in a better position.
