On my Overclockers page it shows me scan homepage. I think I fecked my phone up trying to order this.
Gaming Building a gaming PC

You’d have it by time cyberpunk is out. That’s what you need it for. Resetera thread is brutal too.
So my PayPal is saying the purchase from Overclockers has gone through. Overclockers site hasn't even gotten back to a functional page yet! ffs.
I've hedged my bets and got two in now. If they both fail, it just wasn't meant to be.

Which two did you go for?
Did you get email from them?
I’m not really worried about Cyberpunk. I just want to build a new rig now and I didn’t want to sit without anything at all from a prolonged period.
Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming 10GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card same card two different sites.
I've at least got a thank you for your order from OC - scan's site crashed right after payment, but they sent an initial confirmation email, but nothing through on their site in my order history.
Disclaimer - I've not watched the full video yet.
It appears the FE beats an EVGA XC3 on most benchmarks... I'm talking 1-2fps, but still
Anything come through in your order history with scan @Igor Drefljak ?
What a clusterf*ck of a day; apparently FE stock has been quickly appearing and then disappearing again on Nvidia's website.
Fair fecks to those who will get their cards this week or next. Right now I suppose I'll just have to play the waiting game and see if either of the orders I've put through will be fulfilled - I'm erring on the side of not.

It's impossible to tell until you get the full confirmation and further updates.What a clusterf*ck of a day; apparently FE stock has been quickly appearing and then disappearing again on Nvidia's website.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to check. I bought as a guest
Ah! You did say! Have you had any follow up emails from them at all?
Very odd for scan to not send a stage by stage update by now.
Nah, just the original one. Seems pretty covered to me, so we'll see
Will change my tune if no update by tonight. Don't even know if I'm in the first release batch or some pre-order one for weeks from now.
I'm sure mine was dated 30th
I'm quite relaxed to be honest as I'm not gonna care if mine is cancelled as theirs a massive chance I'm sending it back anyway
Totally! I'm assuming not many people have had confirmation emails? I'm talking about from OC specifically.
@Fortitude
I got an email at 19:40 saying the order has been placed.
The estimated delivery is the 18th, so it could turn up tomorrow

Be prepared to pay double the price if not more!
I don't know if you've an account with scan or guest checked out for speed, but if you don't, they have a 4-step procedure:
Order placed
Payment Authorised
Order picked
Order dispatched
And you get 4 independent emails from them denoting which stage they're at with your order.
I got this:
| Stage 1 of 4 - Order Received | |
| This is an automated email. Please do not reply. The estimated delivery date of your order is 18 Sep 2020 |
But that's only Stage 1. I'm guessing you have the same thing, but without stage 2-4 confirmation, I'm highly sceptical that anything has happened.
They've got the money 'pending' in my PayPal also, which further suggests nothing has gone through as of yet. Overclockers took the money straightaway, despite not even sending a confirmation email or invoice! So I don't know what's going on there!
I seriously doubt two cards are zipping their way to me this working day, but I suppose there's a possibility it could happen until told otherwise. Yeah, sounds as stupidly unrealistic as I type it as it is!
I got an email this morning saying payment has been authorised, waiting for picking
The speed of the price hikes yesterday are something I've never seen before - then again, I've never tried to buy a GPU on launch day before. Looks like Scan has taken down the ability to purchase cards?
A big part of me is hoping Nvidia sort their sh*t out and people can actually get an FE card in the near future - completely wishful thinking though.

Well there you go, much further along than me!
Congrats.
I've even more doubts about my order now.
I've never done a launch gfx purchase myself so I don't know if that's par for the course, but it was absolutely ridiculous to witness.
It is always worse than console launches. You are fighting bots. These people use the same bots that they use to buy rare sneakers. Any luck @MaxiPaxi?
There's still the 3090 and 3070 'launches' too...
Ah right. Know that well for clothes and footwear. Should think it's even worse with comp folk then.
Knew this would be a disaster release, though.
Got through to payment page on scan but then it asked me for my password and captcha which was all blanked out.. I couldn’t get past that thus I couldn’t order a card. Nevermind, I’ll get 2070 in the mean time until the stock normalises. At least I’ll be able to play cod mw and bo at decent settings in 4k. Once the cards are readily available I’ll get ftw 3 gaming ultra for £900. Hopefully have it by Xmas. Are you going to go through this madness next week or just wait?
Wait. I already been through PS5 and not sure how Xbox turns out. This will be 10 times worse as PS5 there’s tons of places to order from. You are limited with this as you only have select places.
I am going to wait until Cyberpunk is out. That’s the game I been waiting for.
Even though 3090 will be a high price, I don’t think that’s going to put off bots and plus there will most likely be less of them compared to 3080. I want to see 3090 reviews as well.
3090ti is my ultimate mission but that's not for a year yet I imagine.
Need this card pretty sharpish as my 980ti just can't cut it anymore particularly 4k dual screen.

Many thanks for your RTX 3080 pre order.
Demand was huge during the launch yesterday, far beyond the expectations of NVIDIA, the graphics card manufacturers and Overclockers UK. Web traffic was off the scale when compared to Black Friday and we apologise for any impact on your shopping experience.
We have contacted NVIDIA and the graphics card manufacturers regarding the volume of cards sold on pre order. We will work closely with them to secure as much stock as possible and will keep you posted on the supply situation as soon as we can. You can check the latest updates from our Product Manager on the forums;
NVIDIA has undoubtedly launched a fantastic and highly desirable product. We all wanted one too! Luckily, Overclockers UK is one of the biggest and oldest NVIDIA partners and we will be one of the first companies to get stock.
Your order is in a queue and we will fulfil orders on a strict first come, first served basis. We therefore suggest you keep your place in the queue to avoid future disappointment.

No surprise there then....

I’ve just accepted it as fact that I’m not getting one until Xmas or early next year. Hopefully big navi is a big success and that prompts Nvidia to get AIB partners to work in overdrive to fulfil order so they don’t lose % of the market share.
What time did your order go through? Seems like the difference of 20-30 minutes could mean months between orders.
I’m waiting on the Big navi announcement now on the 28th of October. Either the stock normalises a bit or I might just get the navi depending on the performance.
Have you seen the mark-ups? The card I went in for started at £649.99. Right now it's £789.99... actually, just checked and it's down to £749.99 at box and has totally been removed off of Scan? All of their 3080's are currently showing no price?
It feels like we've all been done over and roped into a very farcical game. You may well be right with your estimation because even with the first batches, there's a massive backlog of others who aren't going to cancel their orders and will be waiting for the second and third over the upcoming months.
Funny these emails come now and yet these companies have no qualms in taking the money ASAP!
15:55. First time the site worked since going live at 14:00.
Yeah if you've ever needed to showcase a paper launch then this is it. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt since the times we live in but still. For a company that just acquired another company for 40 billon, you’d think they’d make GPU readily available. Also, from what I know, this has always been a problem so when will they fecking learn to cope with the demand. It’s okay the sites crashing etc but at least have enough stock so people can order days after. Seriously hope Navi pull off something incredible, then I think we will see dropping of prices and a lot of cards on the market again.
Yeah I got that email from Overclockers.
My scan one seems to be on course though

Both scan overclockers are down again which seems weird one day after and with no stock to sell. Going to scan takes you to a blocking page "to prevent from online attacks".
Upset people who didn't get their 3080's doing DDos attacks? Would be hilariously stupid if it's that.

How's it been in Holland? Did you receive the GPU or on a waiting list?
@Igor Drefljak on to Stage 2 with scan, so I'm sure it's locked in and won't be cancelled now.
