wow i didn't see any 3080s on there. I had the money saved and was waiting to find stock, then finally someone shares the link with me, and it's on the week where my car dogged on me and needed a £700 repair bill, and the boiler packed in needing a £200 part. Safe to say I will not be able to get a new GPU for some time now, and I'll have to stick with my increasingly sluggish gtx460. Sad times, but sometimes life throws you lemons.
You and me both. 3080 will be installed tomorrow but opened it up this evening and surprised how classy it looks. Not that it will be shown off but very impressed.
If both were available to me at the same price I probably would have swung towards AMD normally after the good experience with my Vega 56. Saying that, I've never had a mid-high end Nvidia card so I'm sure this will be epic.
Tempted by the 6800xt but still holding out for a 3080 if I can, decided that's the card I really want now. Massive thanks to OCUK for making the cards available in a different way to beat the way things have been going recently.

I was leaning towards the 3080 but i got 6800XT. They are both very close performance wise. ok RTX and DLSS on ampere but AMDs card will mature, and 16 gig so I say go for the 6800XT.

I believe he only removed those low on stock. Anybody knows if Overclockers send items on Saturday? Or DPD bringing them on Sunday? I had no option to buy next day delivery
Gibbo said 3 - 5 days for delivery.
More like 3-5 for dispatch for todays orders according to his post earlier, so we should expect delivery towards the end of next week.
Fingers crossed for a good bit of benchmarking next weekend.

I thought I was being scalped when I bought mine from the auction place. But in fact, I paid £100 less than the current OCUK prices. That makes me fell all warm inside!

It makes you wonder when everything gets back to normality how much of a devaluation hit computer hardware will take. Mind you that could be said for a lot of items in general.
I sold my used valve index in lockdown for £1100, now selling for £800 ish.. they'll definitely be a huge loss in value for some.
Good to see actual people getting cards yesterday, well done to all that got one!
Credit to Gibbo and the team for making it happen instead of letting bots/scalpers hoover them up.
I’m around 190 in the queue for a day one ordered 3080 Trio and have held my nerve pretty well until yesterday when I saw this thread!
Did some mental gymnastics to convince myself £700 for a 3070 Suprim was a way out and quickly placed an order.
I thought I’d check out some reviews to hopefully find some justification and stumbled on multiple people having issue with the card not quite fitting into a x570 Tomahawk due to the board catching on the SATA ports!
As luck would have it, I have the same board (again waiting on a 5900x) which this gpu was destined for.
Anyway I’ve take it as a sign and cancelled. I think I would have resented the card anyway!

659£ with delivery for a 3070 Gaming OC does it worth or was better to push 739£ for 6800? I use a 1080p-240hz screen :S
