Its taking Asus a month to get a 1000 cards working at their advertised overclocks. Which is why they have released to lesser overclocked cards since launch date to get rid of all the failed ones.

Well according to Ben EVGA have sold and delivered more cards than any other manufacturer.
They are either all reference ones or nobody is buying the competition.

I never said they were! It is ocuk who take out money however! When my order is the best part of a thousand pounds however and they wouldn't ship the rest of my order (for legitimate reasons tbf) until the full order was in stock, then I don't think it is unreasonable to be upgraded free of charge!

Nice one
I've swapped to store collection, that way if they come in first thing tomorrow I've got the option to fly down tomorrow and grab it.

I just got offered to upgrade for £10 on a fairly substantial order. I think I will politely decline.

It is nice that some customers are being offered free upgrades whilst some are not.

Got to love how they're now finally about to arrive and we have a whole different set of complaints because it happens to fall before a Saturday. Personally i'd think you'll get more traction posting in the CS forum but each to their own 
That's a fair upgrade price for me personally, considering you get free delivery already. I'd have paid it but each to their own.
im surprised asus or evga havent offered people something for the 5/6/7 week wait (possibly more) might go a long way to help make people happier, also the delays will have cost ocuk money and selling preorders at a loss so cant expect anything from them.
As confusing as it is, the other option for release is to make you wait until now to order it. Would you rather have done that way so you could order and receive it the next day, which coincidentally would still be the same as this way round?

Tbh, I tend not to disagree too much and am not all that salty about it. It is just that I ordered numerous items on June 2nd and as a matter of principle I refuse to pay more for Saturday delivery. Especially after reading that other customers were being upgraded for free.
Glad I ordered when I did tbh (27th May) - yeah we've waited a while but I've also got the card cheaper than what I would've paid if we had to wait for them to arrive in stock, before we could place an order.

Well some people would have still had best part of £700 in their bank accounts for past 5 or 6 weeks!
Not particularly amused
I purchased all my parts for a new system including a monitor 3 weeks ago from OC The cost came to over £2000 and i'm still waiting for the strix OC card. Couldn't wait any longer so decided to change my card to the in stock gainward phoenix. Then get asked to pay the £36 difference..............
