I just got an order confirmation from OCUK for a Gigabyte Eagle. I completed my order at about 14:10 after adding it to my basket at around 14:01. I'm pretty sure it said next day delivery when i ordered so hopefully it will come soon!

It's going around that the FE model is a lot smaller margins than what Nvidia is use to, explains no stock and a very scummy move.

Yeah my 5700XT does most of my day to day gaming fine, but if I don't get a 3080 I won't have a excuse to then get ryzen 4000 series

It's disgraceful. OcUK and one of its major competitors are both gouging, but there are other places that aren't doing it, so tbh OcUK don't have a leg to stand on. I'm really surprised people keep on accepting these sort of business practices from OcUK, you don't see it with game sites doing pre-orders for the PS5 and Series S/X, so I don't see why it's acceptable for OcUK to gouge on new parts. Nvidia and AMD should do what Apple do and threaten to block etailers who gouge.
Can you picture walking into a store, taking a product off a shelf and it's priced, then walking to the till and being told "sorry sir due to the exchange rate changing 5 milliseconds ago this will cost another £50".
i have that too and paid on a CC the CC side says pending too

Well, they have taken my order for an msi (ETA 18th) but I have not received the usual instant email confirmation. Anyone else same ?

The thing is I'll be brutal here and say it's the same old crap every launch. It's taken me just shy of three hours to order a card from OCUK. I know fine well I'll be waiting weeks now. None of the sites can cope, the stock levels are always shocking and companies changing the price numerous times during the day is absolutely scandalous. Rant over, and yes I do feel better!

I wonder how you guys managed to get order in so early, it took a good 10-15min for me to get from product page to checkout screen, then it kept failing to go onto payment screen

Seen the price gouging on ebay
People asking £1500 for a 3080
Anyone paying that has more money than sense!

Many in the same position, probably just busy as hell.
Tried to get the FE card but like everyone who tried it was Notify Notify Notify Out of stock.
Came here to buy whatever was £649 and gladly seen the Gigabyte one, which was my 2nd choice after FE.
Site kept crashing when I was trying to purchase, finally bought it about 3pm. Let's see when it arrives.

Well hello!
I wondered if this would ever come back or be gone for good after today's fiasco!
