Your take on this situation is spot on, OCUK didn't handle this well at all. Not closing orders after launch day was unbelievably stupid, and their hostile attitude towards paying customers just made it worse. But not everyone who stayed in the queue was gullible. I didn't need the money so...

Mate I'm in the same boat as you, day 1 trio order, and my Bday was last week lol.... I passed up so many cards in October / November because of the promise of "ramping up" and my 'secured' queue position. I need this for work too, so it's affecting my business. But you're wasting your time...

They are still making the gaming X, just not this exact model. basically it's just a pretext to dump on all the people who pre-ordered when the cards were reasonably priced. Expect to see £1100 gaming X refresh cards hitting stock drops in a few weeks.

Well then, lets review... 7 month pre-order not fulfilled. Blocked from buying a 3070 because I live in Northern Ireland. Blocked for forum deals because I had under 1000 posts. Thanks OCUK, it's been wonderful :P I'm away to blow the whole lot on a new monitor that isn't made by MSI from...

Do you have the vram overclocked?

Day one trio order here, went from 792 in the queue to 46 as of 2 weeks ago. IMO this is just to create a pretext to cancel all the pre-orders. Last time I buy from MSI. The reality is that they stopped sending trio's months ago, and there's have only been Suprims for the whole of 2021 What...

I can't give up looking for a GPU, or give up on PC's, unless I ditch my career (designer) and retain as something else after 25years... Thankfully I have a decent GPU so at least I can work, but it isn't really enough for my current needs, so I'm just muddling through until I eventually find a...

2 of my kids had 2gb gtx770's until Christmas, paired with 4770k/4690k and 16gb ram. They were able to play all the usual stuff kids play these days at 1080p without any issues. Eg. Secret neighbour, Sea of thieves, Fortnite, Minecraft, Fall guys and the likes. I think they're a bit faster...

Congrats to those who got the suprim X upgrade :) pretty painful for ocuk though! I've read that MSI have five new 3080 models in production. Seems strange, but anyway it's MSI, not the first strange thing they've done... but with a cheaper Suprim SE model, Gaming Z, updated Gaming X and two...

They way oversold. Most of the dimwits listing on the bay will get a cancelation email tomorrow. Basically a clothing retailer listed the cards for about 2 hrs at £744, to make matters worse they allowed you to buy five at a time! Lots of people went for it but talk is they had a few cards but...

Strange times when the 17th largest company in the entire world by market cap is "too small"

Unfortunately I don't think it will be hardware baked in the next gen. Even the 3060 can still be used to mine other coins... nvidia just blocked a certain memory access pattern used by Ethereum miners, but you can still mine Raven, zcash, Eth classic and others with a 3060 as they all use...

Happy belated 5 month anniversary fellow queues' AMD are not real competition for Nvidia - maybe in gaming rasterization they compete, but that's only one of the many use cases for GPU's now. There's no competition in productivity at all. Nvidia partner with Adobe for a lot of the AI stuff (I...

Well seems its all getting sorted regarding shipping, so much ado about nothing in the end. However... its a bit strange that all this USE THE SEARCH appears to be coming off the back of my interaction... when I was right. It was genuinely confusing as an NI customer so it was a genuine...

Yeah I have a z490 strix-e that I got on 10th gen release, it's one of the better z490's so hoping it will be fine with 11th gen - so long as it's worth it of course. just have to wait and see.

I haven't had any problem with shipping, as I'm still 147 in the queue - I was just looking clarification as the information on NI seemed contradictory. So I was really just seeking clarification for us NI peeps but seem to have caused a whole fuss. I'm looking at monitors and a mouse right...

Which is why I mentioned you ofc - not to take the pee, just because if NI specific info was in this thread you would have found it. Of course it was a friendly trap to see if I was just pointed to ROI information. I think I've read every post, and can use the search function, and usually...

Thanks Scotti, much appreciated.

I'm not Irish. The only part that could possibly apply to me is 'overseas', but that's a stretch. I'll say again, we didn't get the email so I didn't know if it applied to us - honestly not sure what the big issue is with this. To be honest I'm still not clear, but it obviously bothers you a...

Well there's a challenge for Teal to find the link and make me look bad xD I think if NI customers are in the the same position as ROI customers then it's a legit question to ask. All I would have expected was the same info supplied to Irish customers. If we weren't informed because say...
