    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    I was 900 deep in that queue before grabbing a 3090 from elsewhere. Glad I didn't try and wait it out.

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    Very true. I was happy to wait when there were signs that the queue was going down, but it hasn't gone down at all in a week or so (for all retailers that I have seen).

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    That's it I have snapped. I am still deep in the Asus Strix OC queue and estimate that I am still 4+ months away from getting my card. Other sites have ground to a halt on trying to clear their Stix OC backlog too. So I splurged on an MSI Suprim X 3090 from a competitors site so I'll be...

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    Since I placed my order at the beginning of November (Asus Strix OC & AMD 5900X) I have been using my queue placement to estimate delivery time. At this current rate I'll be receiving my GPU in the 3rd week of April 2021. To be fair to OCUK they seem to be getting through the Strix OC orders...

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    Same, I managed to get a 3060 Ti on another site. Still looking forward to getting my Strix OC from OCUK at some point, but at the current rate the queue is going down it will be 5.5 months until I get it (current position 1158). Edit That sucks :(

    RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

    My biggest tumble in positions on Friday, I hope it is because of people receiving items and not all cancellations. I fell 236 places from 948 to 712.

    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    I ordered last week just before OCUK stopped taking anymore orders. I went for the Asus Strix OC hoping that as its is one of the more expensive cards the line might be short(er). No such luck, I'm 1270th in line. What surprised me is that 1270 x £900 is over £1.1 million in back ordered cards...

    Asus P8Z77-V LX 2 cards non-SLI

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah I read up on single cards that can have 3 displays linked but they are more expensive and have little options for passively cooled cards. I want passive cooling as this is for a work PC and I want as little noise as possible, I dont need the grunt of two cards, just...

    Asus P8Z77-V LX 2 cards non-SLI

    Hi all I just need some reassurance that what I have bought will do the job. Does the Asus P8Z77-V LX mobo support two graphics cards? I dont need them to run in SLI, only to run 3 monitors. I see there is one PCIe 3 slot and a 2nd PCIe 2 slot. Will it allow the installation of two low end...

    GTX 280 noise/power/temp compared to 8800GTS

    I was supprised at how noisy the 280GTX is, I upragraded from a 7800GTX (almost silent), and there is a huge difference. The 280 is easily the lousest thing in my case. And in game my 280 reaches 78-82C

    i7 and 1.9v - 2.0v DDR3

    In what sense? Performance, cost, voltage? My P6T came with a big sticker across the ram slots warning about using higher voltages than 1.65V.

    Jump to i7 worth it?

    :eek::D Its a tossup between need and want isnt it? I didnt need to upgrade from my last AMD 939 system (3.5 years old), but I sure as hell wanted to!

    Asus P6T Deluxe Setting

    I turned off the 2 marvel controllers (storage & SAS), and the Asus gate thing that comes on as soon as you boot up. Under Ai Overclock Tuner on the 2nd tab of the BIOS I selected the XMP (extreme memory profile), it sets your ram up with pre-determined settings. Once selected the XMP setting...

    Shoddy Workmanship?

    Thats what it thought initialy as well, however when your graphics card is in PCI-e slot 1 it should only cover the 1st PCI slot, leaving the 2nd PCI slot free. This is how I managed to fit my PCI soundcard in.
