    Woke up early to go buy a 1080Ti..where the bloomin' heck are the 1080Tis?!

    Thought they were out today, absolutely gutted, I'm a night owl as well so I've had about...6mins of sleep.

    I read they were coming out today, not happy. Anyone else waiting on em ?

    This'll be the first high end card I've ever bought. Stupidly giddy ha

    We've extended our cut off time today, including Saturday and Sunday deliveries. Obviously any new releases would be first come, first served.

    The cut-off time is shown on the bottom right of each web page, and delivery date confirmed in the checkout stage.

    So long as the card is showing in stock, and you have ordered before cut off, you should be fine.

    Aye, I see it. Extra tenner nearly! I know it's weird to baulk at paying an extra tenner on a 700 quid part, especially since driving there will cost me about as much in petrol..what can I say I'm a cheapskate.

    Is this normal for high end parts ? I've never bought a brand new component on release day before, the way they are releasing it seems like something new though

    Re: Woke up early to go buy a 1080Ti..where the bloomin' heck are the 1080Tis?!

    Got one from Aria. It's round the corner from me, and they phoned me up to arrange it all. Paid via bank transfer so it'll definitely be ready for pick up tomoz, it can't "accidentally" be sold to someone else.

    However, I found out after they put it up they charged me an extra 20 quid. Now, if the lads had gone "listen, for this effort of putting this aside and letting you sort it out early, we're gonna make a butty on it" I'd be OK with that, I was planning on dropping a tenner to the lads anyway as a thank you. But the fact they did it this way..I'm holding off judgement, don't wanna kick off if they have a legit reason, but if they have skimmed 20 quid off me underhandedly I'm gonna be fuming

    Not really, being a PC part is almost irrelevant compared to any other launch if you're going global all at once.
