We had the one arrive and it has shipped just a few minutes ago, so in theory it is probably yourself, if it was not then I guess it was an RMA.

I'd be fascinated to know what reasons AIB's are coming up with to explain why shipments of 100 per week have turned into 5 per week.

Really, there have very few shipments of more than 20pcs from any brand. You just remember the very rare "large" drops & those might have been due to a some sort of backlog (a shortage component arriving back in stock or packaging finally arriving)

What you need to understand is that production isn't done in "trickles". They aren't producing a hundred of these, a hundred of those etc. The minimum production run for a model is likely to be in the thousands but there's also thousands of resellers globally and pretty much all of the brands operate a "fair share" policy. Applying pressure directly, and even getting Nvidia to push, only has a small impact on the allocations.

Well ladies and gents, it's been a blast.
Heard from here that there were Gigabyte Vision OC cards available to upgrade to, and with my position in the Eagle OC queue sitting quite high I went for it.
Just wanted to say thanks to @Gibbo and @ScottiB for doing their best to handle this absolute mess over the last 6-7 months.
Hope you all get your cards, best of luck.

Oh no I'm not part of the "OcUK made MILLIONS on our money" false conspiracy crowd. I just mean we put the money in, waited, then got it back.
And it costs OCUK money to refund as well.

@Gibbo normally buys graphic cards by the pallet load but at moment he's receiving them by the (small) bucket load.

The whole situation is ****, and we're still in a global pandemic.......
