Buying a 1080!

I have ordered an Asus Strix oc 1080 from Overclockers for £619.99, same price as the founders edition. I notice today the price has gone up on the site to £659.99. The price on Scan is still £619.99. If you are hovering about to buy one, this info may be useful!

£659.00 inc VAT on Scan now too. Rip off for a third party cooler when OcUK are selling a (probably crappy) third party cooler option for £525 - means Asus are valuing their cooler at least at £134!

Even manages to make the MSI Sea hawk look good value at only £20 more for a hybrid air/water cooler.

Wow, that was quick, glad I got my order in, it's the max I would pay anyway.
Too much demand at present I suppose, a sellers market!

Am I right in assuming that they will honour the sale at the lower price and cant't come onto me for the higher price?

I ordered the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming. Kinda looking forward to maxing out VR to ultra and SS to 2. I have high hopes. Very high hopes.

Yep. I'm getting the one with waterblock on from OCUK. Cost is high, but I honestly can't wait any longer for my upgrade. I'm sure my wallet will regret it in a month's time when EVGA put out their factory OC model with waterblock for £100 less, but I've been waiting 3 years to do this upgrade and enough is enough.

I ordered an ASUS GTX 1080 STRIX a few days ago from OCUK. I too noticed the price hike and delay. Anyone know if the orders at the original price will be honored? I'm not too bothered about the slight delay.

I have ordered the Inno3D 4x from OCUK. Monies have been taken on the pre-order as per T&C's even if the price changes.
Confirmed also, there is a delay on them arriving and being shipped.

Shame, can't wait to up my pixel count on the CV1 from 1.5 to 2.0 as my 980 struggles a little on the higher setting.

WEll they take the cash roght away on preorders, so presumably you paid a few days ago and there's therefore nothing to honour as it were, besides them sticking it in a box and sending it to you.

Unless you used the Amazon payments, I think they charge you on shipping with that.

Yep. They should have placed a hold on the card.

Well now delayed again, due in on the 17th.

Overclockers tell me there's a huge shortage at Nvidia side, all card manufacturers are struggling to get stock.

Another week my new computer sits there unused. :(

Just had the bad news confirmed by OCUK as well... ah another week.. with the sun shining outside I'm tempted to cancel and buy a Kayak then revisit the 1080 at the end of the summer...

i still thinking of buying myself 2 of those 1080's.. but i really want a Vive first.

at the moment i run dual Titan X, both hybrid cooled.. anyone experiance with Titans in SLI and VR?

SLI and VR do not mix well to be honest. I think you would find yourself disabling one card in order to play VR, that's how it is for me with my 2 980s.
