I might if the prices are still high when I get it hah! I don't NEED the card, but if I can get a £350 profit that pays for my new monitor
Is it really worth it for a couple hundred quid?

That's a couple day's wages, or less for some.

It's scummy behaviour for not much gain, and you have to deal with the minefield of scammers on the bay.

Well, I do hope the scalpers get scammed, tbh. Would be best for everyone else if the scalpers lost money on this.

The data that showed the TUF demand as lower are just due to an error in the spreadsheet. The order estimate for the TUF on the 17th are actually showing the TUF OC and FTW3 data

Adjusted for that the current estimates in the spreadsheet for orders on the 17th are as follows:

ASUS Strix: 189
ASUS Strix OC: 610
ASUS TUF: 1,699
ASUS TUF OC: 392
EVGA FTW3 Gaming: 73
EVGA FTW3 Ultra: 87
EVGA XC3 Black Gaming: 566
EVGA XC3 Gaming: 145
EVGA XC3 Ultra: 203
GIGABYTE AORUS Master: 145
GIGABYTE AORUS XTREME: 203
GIGABYTE Eagle: 1,380
GIGABYTE Gaming: 450
Inno3D iChill x3: 15
Inno3D Twin x2: 58
KFA2 SG: 44
MSI Gaming: 2,208
MSI Ventus: 1,162
Palit Gaming: 189
Palit OC: 58
ZOTAC Trinity: 566

This is not being shown in the spreadsheet, and is the new number TOTAL value or on just the 17th alone?

So how many cards roughy will be shipped out each week to ppl. Will stock come in faster for let’s say ASUS compared to the Zotac or MSI?

Been hearing some real bad stuff re the Gigabyte eagle card ...i am going to cancel my 2 orders and wait it out me thinks ...

All of the cards performance are within a couple of percent of each other. thermals, noise and looks are the main factors to consider.

This is also why some will pay those prices.
Perhaps next launch they should try something a bit different.

Release at 2x RRP, and let people know that once they've sold X amount, they will gradually lower the price to RRP.

I'd rather the producer/inventor do the scalping than some random profiteer/tout.

@shaan200 - You may want to check the formulae in rows 28 and 29 of the 'Summary' tab. I think they may be referring to the wrong rows. That is why the number of Asus TUFs is so low. Impressive work otherwise though. One feels that maybe this is something OCUK should be providing...

Unfortunately, I suspect the calculator will be a fair bit out because of the timing of the purchases. I think it assumes that purchases for each model are spread evenly over the last four days. I imagine that this would not be the case. Certain models probably only started being purchased in large numbers when the 'ETA' and 'in stock' labels appeared later on in the afternoon of the 17th. For example, I purchased at around 5pm on the 17th. If I were to just take the mix of models sold prior to my purchase, I would estimate that I'm around 500th in the queue. If I look at the mix overall, I would be over 900th in the queue for the card I bought. Therefore, it makes a big difference.

You are right, i've been dealing with this for quite a bit. Some human error was bound to happen. It also doesn't it finds it based on percentage per each day according to time of purchase.

Wow so the TUF OC having 380 orders instead of 72 has absolutely rocked me, now I have to wait for I don't know how many batches for me to get a card, low key I would like to switch my order for a Palit OC at this point, even if the card design isn't all that, I just want a card, should I do that?

Really nvidia should just hold the launch till they have enough stock available.

Like what? I’ve only seen good reviews on the Gigabyte Eagle - in terms of performance and thermals.

Nothing sounded alarms for me in few reviews I’ve seen...
