Turns out it’s the factory overclocked version which according to the review on TechPowerUP puts it in line with the Founders edition for performance. Happy days.

Yep I got the retail GPU packaging.

So after impatiently waiting the weekend I have received the replacement this morning and it works!!! It’s a Palit instead of a Zotac - superficially the card seems more solid and comes with a sag bracket which is nice as the Zotac had a definite sag.

I’ll give it a try but I wondered if it may be because they are also collecting the defective card at the same time - they might not do Saturday pick ups. edit: yeah no option for tomorrow on the app however next weekend is available so I’m guessing that as they haven’t actually physically...

Yes just received an apology email to that effect. I’ve replied as currently the delivery is not expected until Monday and I’d like to get it upgraded to tomorrow - I know sometimes DPD give you the option to upgrade when the tracking goes live but I think a goodwill gesture from PCS is in...

Just received a dispatch email. Not complaining but bizarre after being told there is no stock.

I’ve had a look in the terms and conditions but I can’t find a statement to that effect and it was certainly not what I was just told on the phone.

Apparently not the case. Just got off the phone with PCS and the GPU I was supposed to be sent yesterday got allocated to someone else’s build and they don’t know when they will have more available. Also after 14 days of receipt I am no longer entitled to a refund only repair or replace. I...

So no dispatch email. Not happy after being told it was shipping today - my patience is wearing thin. I understand stock is scarce but I don’t like broken promises. Now halfway through my return period and still unable to use the machine I’ve paid for.

Yeah I’m not sure - I got the email at 8:30am the day my build was shipped. I think once the consignment is booked with DPD the email is generated even if it is not physically picked up until later in the day. This is reason tracking does not work until the DPD driver has scanned the item at pickup.

No dispatch email - anyone know how late that could be sent as I’m starting to get a little twitchy?

So after chasing on the phone this morning I have been told a replacement is shipping today. 🤞

Zotac

I’d say so. My build went through build, test to awaiting dispatch in about 24 hours. My 3080 GPU was DOA though so my excitement was short lived. Still waiting on the replacement...

So the 2070 works though I had a panic at first. A put it in pci slot 1 and booted and nothing again - then tried it slot 2 and it worked. Moved back to slot 1 and it still worked. Downloaded nvidia drivers and then put the the 3080 back in - nothing. Pretty sure that means it’s a dead card.

Hopefully you are right. I’ve ordered a 2070 Super for delivery today to test. Amazon’s generous no questions asked 14 day return policy in action!!!

So managed to get through on the phone and to be fair PCS were great. They agreed with the diagnosis that it’s a faulty GPU and they will send a replacement ASAP. Chap on the phone didn’t know if they have set aside any stock for replacements so he said it could be a bit of a wait. Frustrating...

I got lucky with delivery as my build was awaiting dispatch on 3080 release date and I managed to get through on the phones that day to change. Not so lucky now eh.

Yes but the card is just not being seen by the system.

Dammit but I think you are right. Doesn’t even look like the card is detected in the bios.
