To help visualise it a bit more, here's what you're dealing with. There's definitely a bigger increase after 15:00. This is just off the information that has been submitted, and there are some points where order numbers are lower even if they were ordered later.

Interesting ..
here is mine in case you missed it before

Gigabyte Eagle
Order Number: 586332#
Date ordered: 17/09/2020 15:27:05

I find it sadly hilarious no one is pointing fingers at Nvidia here.. This lies squarely at their feet. If they didnt knee jerk panic release this guff to just 1up AMD and actually waited til they had mass stock, people wouldn't be crying here, gouging wouldn't be as bad as it is.

Nvidia knew this was a paper launch at best, the product isnt even that good, and will be replaced with superior versions in a short time

Wtf? my order number starts with 402xxxx and it's the same number for my payment authorization on OC and Amazon pay, my payment has been processed too and same order number.


You should have an email titled "[Important] Order Update - OUT OF STOCK ITEM(S)"

Your other related order number will be located in this email along with order time.

I'm not sure though, the rumoured 20gb version is supposed to be GDDR6, not GDDR6X which while powerful is experimental.

Now I can't predict the performance of something that hasn't happened yet and this isn't confirmed but if that is the case GDDR6X should become more optimised in time. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here

Also I sure those versions will be more expensive for not that much performance increase imo unless you're playing 4K and need that VRAM for textures.

Completely up for debate here but that's my two cents

Yes free item allocation was 1000 units, we sold more than 1000 hence that promotion ended.
I have requested more codes but awaiting a response.

does this mean that anyone who's got the pre-order bonus showing in their basket are within the first 1000 orders!???

No its not because I would rather know how I am progressing in the specific queue for my card. At least gives me an idea if the queue is going down or not and manages my expectations.
That kind of information would give away some pretty commercially sensitive data, so there's no way you're going to see that!

So based on Gibbo comment that could mean we're in the first 1000 orders if that's all they had orrrrrr, we're actually not gunna get the bundle because sold out and site didn't update

Yep what I said is based on that assumption because that's the only thing that we can keep track of. It could be entirely irrelevant.
Personally given what OcUK have said so far, and if I was the customer manager trying to figure the allocation queue out... I would:
  • cancel any silly orders e.g. I want 5 GPUs
  • contact those with multiple orders (the one's where people are hedging their bets) and ask them to pick one
  • obviously split by manufacturer
  • sort by order date & time first
  • then by order number second
  • email people once per 1 week or give them a portal that tells people where they are in the queue
  • give people general stats on queue lengths because that might want to order say a Palit vs. Gigabyte if that means they get one delivered quicker
I think that would help, at the very least you are keeping people informed and being fair about it. For all we know there is a stock of 200 still sitting in a cupboard waiting for a new Ryzen 5000 build next month, or someone comes along and nabs a load ahead people that have been waiting weeks/months.
