Just to add to this, I realise I primarily mentioned 3rd party reviewers as "content creators" and perhaps you meant more "Influencers". But it's the same bag. I know, some of them really are trashy and it feels like they're not doing anything of value, but they target SIGNIFICANT numbers of viewers, and those viewers are incredibly succeptable to those opinions.

It's free advertising, as part of the conditions of receiving that card, nvidia or whoever it may be just require that influencer to say "oh, I'm playing this on a 3080 and it looks great", a lot of their viewers will take that as the fact they need one too, even on their 1080p screen. It's incredibly valuable to nvidia and companies like that.

Like it or not, these youtubers and twitch streamers reach MASSIVE audiences and are influential to those people.
Yeah i was referring more to influencers, youtubers and twitch streamers. I know this is pretty common, i was just a bit triggered when i saw some twitch streamers that usually plays animal crossing (and were never going to buy the cards) got it for free.

Ordered 17/09 14:14. Just got an email saying 'In building'. Please, please, please don't be automated or error, or change your mind! It even says it on the order screen when you log in.

Does this mean that I can be annoyed that Cyberpunk is delayed? Oh no... please, please, please don't let this jinx it! I don't mind Cyberpunk being delayed, I don't, I really don't!

Wait so you ordered after multiple people here including myself but yours has gone into building? Are PC specialist having a laugh or something?

Just to let you know I'm awaiting a Rog strix 3080. So his build may differ to others including mine. The others might have different parts missing from their orders. Hence why his has gone into building.

There's only 1 part relevant in this thread and thats the 3080, all my parts are in stock minus the graphics card. Yet he's got it first.

Also, changing specs to other parts in stock does NOT delay your position in queue for the 3080, this has been confirmed by support.

So I will use it as a rule.

No one is getting the FE. It's either the Strix OC or one of the other cards; Palit, etc.

At least, that's what I was told the last time I phoned.
You can only order 2 different ones here. And most people are most likely on about the standard 3080 here. Given that Strix has barely been mentioned. So bringing that card into it is irrelevant.

I was specifically responding to your mention of the Founders Edition. Last time I called, I was told no one will be getting the FE.

You are correct, there are two versions you can order. Firstly, the Nvidia Geforce 3080, which will be any of the cards that are available in stock. As I said; Palit, etc. The second type, is the Asus Strix; it will be the OC version. Hence the higher cost.

I'm someone who changed from the Nvidia Geforce 3080 to the Strix. I did so, understanding the version differences available to order.
