Tempted by this (_;)

I would be too, but sadly no prime!

Create a new email address :smile:

Sign up using gmail tick and get a months free trial...that's what I am doing now. This is a great price so worth it.

I shall do that when I'm back

Lol no. Who wouldn't wait for Vega at this point?!

I mean what is the cheapest 1070 atm? This is way below the regular 1070 price, anything Vega can do won't push prices that low.

Signed up for a new account on my phone, card ordered!

People who want a good GPU

If Vega is any good it won't be cheap.

I was watching a few GPU's expecting a 20% offer but all the GPU's in the 20% offer are way past sell by!

There is a 6gb 1060 for £220 with a wait

Im sticking with my gtx970 until next update as at 2k its still able to play all games at high settings, good price though.

Can you SLI with MSI gaming X card? If so, would SLI be worth it with the 1070?

1070s have sli connections

Great price, shame I just bought a 4K monitor, so now I can't afford it :disappointed:

Thanks for this.....I've just placed an order. These exact model are on sale on eBay for over £500. Just read some reviews and it's identical to the Gaming X and Gaming Z cards. 9.8 out of 10 in reviews. Have some heat!

Great spot thanks

definitely worth the 20 quid over that single fan msi gtx 1070 on amazon.de. I cancelled that and ordered this.

And the good thing is they are limiting orders to 1, so miners can sod off :stuck_out_tongue:

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it.

SLI and Crossfire are garbage and work well in only a handful of games.

Save that money and get an upgrade when a nice one comes out.

Sooooo tempted by this , wanting to upgrade to 1440p but think I might hold out for VEGA and see what it has to offer

Think my 23" 1080p & gtx 780 are definitely due an upgrade though

Would be nice if a free game code came with it too like destiny 2 and a cashback rebate

Cracking deal. See second hand 1070s selling for North of £400 all the time. This will be ideal to add to my mining rig... :face_with_monocle:

I'm running a few different cards at the moment 2 x1080ti, 4 x rx480, 1 x 470, 1 x 1050ti and a 1070, the 1070 does around 450 sols (palit super jetstream) so around £2.70 a day at current prices (just for the 1070).

This is crazy good price!

I'm waiting for the MSI Gaming X 1070 which is almost identical, which just bumped back up from £410 to £450.

I'm not bothered by color, so snapped this up! And if this drop is a precursor to a widespread easing of prices, we've got 3 weeks to find a better deal.

Forgive my ignorance. I know nothing about mining. Does it not cost you more in electricity?

Cryptocurrency miners, where time mining is more valuable than waiting for a faster mystery GPU that may never close that time gap in ROI.

Is this worth upgrading from a non x fury?

As it happens no, real cost is around 10 to 20 percent of money generated for electricity costs , so around 80 percent profit.

Sounds cool. Just looked at a brief guide. Doesn't look too complicated. I've currently got a GTX 980TI which I'm going to sell as I've just ordered this. May give it a little go to see what ass the fuss is about. Any recommendations for a beginner? Thanks in advance!

It's easy enough to do, you need a bit coin wallet to mine to, look at whattomine.com and consider nicehash.com software for super easy setup, you could be earning money within the next 20 minutes.

This won't be sent for months if ever

You've got your calculations upside down. It's 80% cost and 20% profit pre fees. You need to first catch up to ROI, which is getting further and further away, then you need to find somewhere that doesn't take a chunk of your BTC, and then good luck getting it into GBP. #Forever HODL

You couldn't be more wrong sadly :smile: look on the nicehash calculator.

Look at whattomine.com

Use cex.io as a btc wallet, payment straight out into gbp no issue at all.

How much cash can you make in an average month on a gtx1070 by mining

How so? I have 2 pc's setup on nicehash. The actual returns are lower than their projected even though my rates are higher. I'm actually going to switch off the HD7850 miner as its about to hit the cost of powering it. It's like dagger is the only one worth mining atm, bonus if your card can dual mine, my 780 can just about do it, but changing the intensity doesn't seem to shift it in the way I want.
I'll check out cex.io though thanks.

Depends, I'd say average around £2.40 a day, not a great deal, but if you leave it running while not gaming, well you could easily self finance your PC.

Well 2 hd 7850 are where things are not working out for you, for example a tweaked / efficient rx480 is around 110 Watts per hour, so 2 in a pc system would be around 350 Watts(full system 2 cards) , that would generate around £4 currently a day.... The maths is there for all to see, just hit up the links and buy power efficiency cards, not old, clapped out gas guzzlers

Thanks for the advice! Appreciate it.

Hmm not bad actually - could help my finance my habit of buying computer parts I don't really need :stuck_out_tongue:
Heat

This might make interesting bit mining viewing

youtube.com/wat…=em

Great card, great, price. Heat, thanks.

When you go to order it says:


There was a problem with some of the items in your order (see below for more information):
MSI V330-069R GeForce GTX 1070 Quick Silver 8G OC PCIE 3.0/8 GB GDDR5 256 Bit Graphics Card - Black

We're sorry. This item has a limited purchase quantity. We have changed your purchase quantity to the maximum allowable.



I only have 1 in my basket, and after that message appears my basket shows 0. I guess they are out of stock already.

I'm just using what I have on hand, I honestly thought the HD7850 was dead, so I baked it and it's fully functional so might as well get it doing something (160 sol/s 130w approx). Can't believe I scoffed at the rx480 when it first came out. It's turned out to be a trojan horse, still not a great card for gamers, and now miners think it's a gem in the rough, it's causing a crypto boom!

Ordered 1 thanks! For those that need prime and dont want to set up a new account you can buy a single month's worth of prime for £7.99 from the prime page.. think its: your account > prime > then in the middle there should be a 'other plans' button..

It's a lot for a single month but then prime day is on the horizon too..

What would be a good monitor to take full advantage of this card? At a good price I have just purchased this and I am trying to build a system any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Already have this card when it was £326 2 months ago (359.99 - £34 MSI Cashback).

Any good?

It's gone down a lot in price. What can it do apart from mine cryptowotsits?

Don't get too carried away with that, the RX 400/500 series have been slowing down quite a lot with Ethereum, they think likely due to the 256-bit memory bus vs. the older Hawaii cards, they're more efficient but seem to be losing speed as the DAG increases. Anyway, there's so many aspects to mining it won't suit all. I kind of got the impression that running a single machine with a single card isn't worth it as many places have minimal withdrawals; I guess with things like Nicehash, it may work out OK but at some point they're going to reach a limit.

I'm a Prime member but I can only see it for £883.97 when I follow the link.

Same here, Would have bought this as well :disappointed:

Pretty sure they are sold out now, was looking one for myself and got the same thing

Looks to be the case , the price has shot up to over £800 and is only available from one seller , I am presuming that will be a HotUKdeal buyer cashing in :smile: no doubt delivery will be 4- 6 weeks :smile:

Tried emptying/refreshing basket and ordering again but kept giving me 'max order amount 0 errors'. Did anyone else experience the same?
This was 12+ hours ago when it was showing as delivery in 2-3 weeks.

Amazon seems have to a few of these well priced 1070s delivered in 2-3 weeks, wonder if anyone has actually received a card...

Not sure how I missed this in my feed. Would have bought. Damn.

Is this a decent price distegarding the mining boom?

I ordered it last night and cant work out if its a god deal or miners!

Its not just a miner deal its a Major deal too for gamers , great price , great card :smile:

I do hope this comes before the mining boom ends, bought my 380 for £120 a while back and looks like they are going for close to that at the moment.

Does anybody know if this will be eligible for the destiny 2 promo?

Sigh, I wish I found this earlier.. bought the 1060 one.. but this is a huge saving and more future proof.. sad times.

Prime day.. PLZ...

Has anybody who purchased this contacted customer support to see if they have a more accurate date they expect to receive the stock?

Mine currently says will arrive 22-29th july, shipping 28th.

Anyone else say anything different?

Me same as Dayksa . Just hurry up !

Mine said that too.... just changed to 3rd to 9th August :disappointed:

Mine says dispatching tomorrow and will be here 21/22 of July.

That's unlucky, hope I get mine before August so I can sell my current 1060 6GB before the mining doomsday. Out of interest, what time did you order? According to the email confirmation I put mine in at 5AM on the 7th, and as of right now it's still on for the 22nd-27th.

My order went in at 9pm and the 6th and is showing 21st to 27th as expected delivery

My email is at 02:04 on the 6th July

Mine has just been dispatched. FYI :grin:

Mine now says 22-27th, dispatching 26th.

Ordered july 7th...

Pretty much waiting for it to be delayed util august now. Annoying as i have a brand new pc with no gpu!

Depending on when mine ships I am seriously tempted to stick a listing up on ebay and see if a miner will take it off me for a tidy profit.. especially with the ebay FVF promo at £1.. i mean someone sold one of these 10days ago for £500 + £10pp.. cant be long until the market gets flooded with cards again and the prices drop

That said though I do need/want a new card to replace my 970 for gaming

Considering brand new 1080's are, and have been available for cheaper than this... It's likely the sold listing you saw on ebay was an attempt of fraud from the buyer. I suppose there is a small chance it could have been a dumb person just throwing money away, but either way I wouldn't expect to replicate the price it sold at.

i dont think thats the case at all.. go to ebay and view the 1070s on sale that are new in the uk buy it now. I see 70 results - ignoring the blower design at £370 they range in price from £408.78 to £766. I'd say the midpoint of those listings is around £500. sure a quicker sale might be gauranteed at £450.. used cards are selling at £400

Mine has just changed from 21st to 27th to Arriving 5 Aug - 11 Aug‌ :disappointed:

1070 in stock brand new for £366 (or £380 if you cant be bothered to sign up for and immediately cancel the trial 'which?' subscription)

Link Here

Brand new 1080 in stock £470

Link Here

I don't think any sane person is going to spend upwards of £500 for a gtx 1070 on ebay. Just because there are listings at this amount does not mean they are selling anywhere near often enough to expect to get this amount for yourself.

If the itrm is delayed can ee get anuthing from amazon?

Im sure it said 2-3 weeks when we ordered?

Waiting a month is annoying... i couod have bought i different gpu and been enjoying my machine..

It's an estimated 2-3 weeks and I wouldn't expect to either. If you didn't want to wait then you should have just bought one that was in stock. They are still fully within their rights to just cancel your order and so are you :smile:

the wait is annoying but the price is still great

Plus you could not have bought another 1070 for anywhere near the price to have right away.

If anyone has actually received it yet do let us know - it would cheer me up as i wait with no updates from amazon .

Yeah, but theres a large difference between 22-27th and 5-11.

Its literally gone from 2-3 weeks to 4-5!

I would have happily paid extra 2 weeks ago if i knew it could take a month+

As for having rights, im pretty sure they have already debited my amazon account?

Either way theres still hope for me, I havent been delayed yet! :thinking:

amazon don't take funds until they dispatch (unless paying by gift card) so they won't have debited you and at the time that this offer was on, pretty much every 1070 had 2-3 weeks waiting time minimum, so you would have had to pay more and still wait, to only be receiving it now.

It was 2-3 weeks estimated delivery time not a guarantee and that was even posted by the OP.

its debited on dispatch.. if you click in to the order you can cancel.. i just mean that as its wouldnt be processed as a refund as nothing has yet been taken

Just a heads up, mine was posted from Amazon Germany, should be arriving today!

Mine saying exptected by 27th now.

Mine still says :Expected by 27 Jul Not yet dispatched.

But I shall take faith from those that have had their orders dispatched , so finger crossed , not much longer now........

Mine is here :smile:

I know its more of a lottery with GPUs but any coil whine when stressed?

Still hanging in there, arriving 22-27, dispatch 26th...

Please dont get delayed!

Nope, nothing really. More of a thing with cheaper GPU's I find.

Obviously fan gets louder running full on but then that's to be expected!

Mine just changed from Arriving 22 July - 27 July to Arriving 9 Aug - 16 Aug. :disappointed:

I won't be needing a 1070 until September, so if any of you consider canceling, hit me up and we'll make a deal.

Prices are getting ridiculous.

Mine has now slipped back to August.☹️

Mine still stuck on "expected by 27 July" but I'm not holding my breath, just wish it would give something a bit more definitive. I wouldn't mind only I sold my old gpu the start of last week thinking it was gonna be here :disappointed:

Mine is still showing as "Expected by 27 Jul" but it is the 25th today......so I am expecting the Expected to become sometime in August.

What time did everyone order their cards? I know I ordered mine at around 11:30pm on the day this deal came out and mine hasn't been delayed yet.

I ordered mine on the 6th at 1pm and its still saying expected by the 31st... Im almost positive it will be delayed though ☹️

7th 12.15am.. mines currently on 5th-11th aug. it would seem they are processing these in order of order datetime

Mine still says 27th, though it is expected to ship on the 26th.

I guess it will get delaye till august in the 26th.. which is quite annoying that they have no idea of stock levels or expected stock.

Whats stopping us waiting till august to get delayed again? :disappointed:

The stock will be back before the end of august . It could be tomorrow or it could be in the next few weeks who knows. I contacts Amazon and they gave me a £4 promo code for it being late. You might as well see if you can get something similar

I don't think that's the case, I ordered a few hours after that and mine still says it's on for the 27th. Of course, this might change at the last minute.

mine might have shifted as i added a £50 gift card to the purchase (from the buy £50 gift card get £5 free).. perhaps that shunted me to the end of the queue

I paid entirely in gift cards (I get3% off all amazon giftcards via my work), yet mine hasnt been delayed yet, so i dont think it will have been anything to do with that.

But they will more than likely get delayed. I have spoke with Amazon multiple times including today and there is currently no date as to when the stock will come in.

I believe he means that he changed his payment method after ordering.

Wishing id ordered this now. Was seriously tempted but short of funds at the time and worried i wouldn't have enough before they shipped it. Needn't have worried it seems!

Keep checking the listing but it never seems to have come down again. :disappointed:

Any other hopes for a cheap gtx1070 or even 980ti? Don't mind long lead times (all the better for saving up :wink: )

TBH as these come back in stock i expect some others will as well. The miners dumping their cards on to ebay and the like cant be too far off either as difficulty increases daily so that will drive price down in the near future. Might be worth holding out

Expecting either a despatch or a delay email today.

Judging by what some of you have been told by Amazon support, delay being more likely.

Mine is saying under carrier.

"We're preparing your order. Carrier information will be updated soon."

Don't know if it said anything like that before but I can hope mine is going out today.

If you don't mind go ask Amazon support through chat to see if your order is actually being dispatched. Because yesterday they weren't in stock and imo it's unlikely they are now

I can't wait that long... Damn it ☹️

I got a reply from Amazon telling me that they got in touch with procurement especially for me and asked them to fulfill my order as soon as possible, once stock arrives. Sounds like a load of old flannel to me.

Here is what they sent to me afterwards.

"As we discussed, we've contacted our buying team to check the availability of the suppliers from various distribution centre.

We've received an update that the item will be available on 13 August 2017 for 121 quantities.

Once we receive an item it is dispatched according to the method you specify. We rely on the suppliers for up-to-date information regarding the availability of this item and unfortunately, that's all we have to go by.

When we dispatch it from our Fulfilment Centre, we'll send you an e-mail confirming the date, contents and method of delivery."

13th.... Damn it anyway ☹️

My order has changed to "will dispatch" delivery date still states 27th...... Fingers crossed

Damn. :disappointed: I spoke on live chat and they didn't even want to give a more specific estimate, but I did get £5 credit on my account at least.

Was due today but got the 'supplier problem' email this morning. No due date now.

Same here sadly

Surely if they aren't receiving the stock they would of sent cancellation e-mails instead? I'm happy waiting till August personally but only if I know for sure that they are coming in.

In all honesty , I have a few orders for various special offers via Amazon from months ago that are still saying they will promise to supply , but nothing yet , this could on go almost indefinitely.

Well I am at least hoping that they were truthful in that they are receiving 121 units on the 13th.

And that less than 121 were ordered.

I think the deal went hay wire ! I think it will be a drawing of straw for whom will receive one of those 121 pieces.

Mine has changed to delivery date pending. Amazon have given £10 credit to my account for the delay though.

How did you get the credit?

Still reading as 3rd to 9th on mine (will ship 8th)

Mine says:

"Not yet dispatched

Mine still says 'Arriving 5 Aug - 11 Aug' dispatching on the 10th.. spoke with CS and they seem rather clueless as to stock.. all they said is they currently have none. Not sure how anyone else has managed to get credit as a result of the delays

This is what I got...

Matches with the advisor previously telling me they would receive them on the 13th.

On the way for me:)

Spoke ti custimer support, whi contacted the "fullfillment centre" claims they are getting some in towards the end of August... at this point I might get vega56 if it reviews well! :thinking:

Guys I've been told multiple times now they are in stock in the 16th. Can anyone else contact support and see if they get the same date?

Was told yesterday that batch 1 was dispatched on the 27th july, and that im batch 2 which is estimated for 7th of september - 27th of september (before this i was told the 13th of august, 16th of august and even that mine was being dispatched in 24-48 hours obviously this didn't materialise)

I had a moan at them yesterday , they would not even give me a free gift voucher , just the usual ,they will contact the team in charge of this particular stock and order etc etc etc.

Same hear. Did say it would come into stock on the 13th but they would not promise me a delivery date

I have the same, still waiting.

I had £90 in gift cards that I wanted back so cancelled mine.. Said arriving 9th and then changed to "We need more time"

Was sent this last night:

I could see and confirm that we have contacted our suppliers regarding the supply for the Graphics card and they updated that this item will be in stock on 13 August 2017 in huge number of quantities.

Once we receive an item it is dispatched according to the method you specify. When we dispatch it from our Fulfilment Centre, we'll send you an e-mail confirming the date, contents and method of delivery.

I still followup your order and surely send you the dispatch confirmation to you via email again without fail.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding in this matter.

As great as that would be I've been told the 16th like 10 times, been told September once and not later than yesterday I was told there currently is no date... I'm beginning to think they haven't the slightest clue.

They have stock of the Zotac GTX 1080 mini edition for £472. Just in case anyone is prepared to spend a bit extra.

I understand that that is a 1080 but it is still 50% more, so not exactly "a bit extra".

Mine shipped out yesterday night completely out of the blue, should be with me today!

Boom! Nice one! Let us know how it is once you fire it up.

I'm overseas on holiday so quite happy to wait until 16th for delivery.

At this point I don't mind it being delayed a little more, gives me a chance to look at the vega 56.

Did you have an estimated date? as mine still has no delivery estimate

Even if you're lucky you won't get Vega 56 for nearly a month

Yeah but you can return this within a month, plus I more meant, having a look at some reviews, real comparisons and the actual price when they come out.

Has anyone had delivery this week ? I have keep chasing by email and they have given me £5 credit then one month extra amazon prime then a £15 credit . Didnt ask for them. Would have preferred they had answered my questions ( when did you last contact supplier , how many units have you ordered , where am i in the list etc etc ) but they seem trained on email to ignore questions and give generic responses .

It's called, cut and paste, but well done for obtaining the credits, at this rate you will of reduced the price by 10 percent, I think I shall email them on Monday..

Mine still states delivery expected by 14th, will dispatch 13th. So no doubt this will all change on Monday.

Just got a new estimate via CS: 8 September.

That's ridiculous. Are you going to wait until next month?

It is quite poor.. but I'm personally in no rush to cancel whilst there is a lack of good other alternatives, especially at this price, and vega will show up very shortly so might have an effect on prices

I won't cancel it, but if anything decent pops up for under £350 I think I'll bite as I need a 2nd card to boost rendering speed ASAP. Might go for that Zotac mini some sites seem to be getting.

I chased up Amazon today and pointed out that they'd told me the card would be shipped today. They now don't have any estimates, not even September.
Is it worth asking MSI?

Personally I'm just going to wait and hope they don't cancel. In the meantime if Vega causes a price drop I'll buy a 1070 elsewhere instead and cancel this one. You can get a Zotac card currently for £328. If there is no price drop then I'll just wait for this one to arrive. It's annoying though I must admit. My order still shows as dispatch 13th arriving by 14th.

due 21st.. might as well still wait until then on this one

So on the day it's supposed to be delivered the status is updated to "we'll email you when available". Terrible service Amazon.

Latest from amazon "However we hope to have further stock made available to us in the near future (likely end of August/beginning of September - please note this may be subject to change). "

...

Mine is currently showing 21st of August, but I expect that to change, once again

Finally my graphics card has been dispatched! Should be with me Monday!

Heart broken... Cancelled last week :worried:‌ :worried:‌ :cry:

In fairness i was not in a rush for the card, but I totally understand why people have cancelled, amazon offers up a lot of empty promises

My fingers are still crossed. I have a feeling that when I changed my payment method it sent me to the back of the queue. :rage:

So you're telling me there's a chance...
I ordered mine in the 7th July, hopefully this won't mean a late September dispatch.

Mine finally came good, I did call and moan around 10 days ago, might be worth having a moan at them

Emailed them again. They gave the same spiel about contacting the buyer who have requested more from the supplier. How they are at the mercy of the supplier etc, etc.

Well this is what I have just been told.

"Thanks for waiting Andrew. No estimated date has of yet been listed. The item it's self states that it usually dispatches between 1 to 3 weeks, however, given that you ordered this on 6th July, there should have definitely been an update by now. I'm sorry that it has been so long, however this doesn't look like it's going anywhere. My suggestion would be to cancel and reorder, unfortunately, as frustrating as I imagine that will be for you."

When I said, I knew of someone having their's dispatched.

"the only information we have regarding stock is what we see on the amazon website and as far as the this item goes, on the website, it is in stock but I couldn't go into further detail on that"

When I responded that the previous adviser had given me an estimated arrival date for stock.

"If that happened then I will need to look into correspondence history to raise a flag with that particular customer service agent. I'm sorry that you were told this, as it was false information. We have no access to stock levels or as and when stock is due to come in."

I am not cancelling my order but not exactly reassuring or helpful.

An earlier msg from them told me a number of times I could cancel. Today's message said the card was available from a seller but very expensive so they recommend I dont cancel. My feeling is they expected prices to fall with Vega being released and it hasn't happened. So quite possibly they face making a loss in these cards at £311. So they could be waiting on buying anymore until the price from their supplier drops.

I'm not cancelling either.

It annoys me the way they seem to make more effort in trying to get you to cancel the order than they do trying to fulfil it. Mine is still on order showing "not yet despatched". I've pre ordered the zotac mini from ebuyer in the mean time so whatever comes first I'll keep (providing there is no difference in performance)

Looked at that Zotac myself to be honest and was thinking the same. But have my mind set on the MSI now as it will be quieter and cooler. Speeds will be comparable.....maybe the MSI will be 3-4 FPS quicker. The Zotac still looks like a very good deal. Just not quite as good :wink:

Just to confirm, my card had arrived!

I'm well jelly. When did you order your card?

Well I started posted the deal on hotukdeals, so about pretty close to start of the hotukdeals.co.uk offer

And how is it? What have you upgraded from?

Its great , excellent quality , it is for my 2nd machine , my main machine has 2 x 1080ti's in it

Nuff said.

Pleased you got it mate . My latest from amazon CS is "I see that currently the order is stuck in fulfilment centre and it will be dispatched through Amazon European Fulfilment centre via Amazon Logistics and it is planned to ship on 2017-08-28." . What a saga but will be worth it if it ever arrives . Will be telling them i know someone who had it delivered !

Finally looks like people will truly be receiving stock :smile:

I told them I knew people who had received theirs already. Made little difference although they did acknowledge it.

On my last call I did the same, perhaps coincidence, but it did arrive not to long afterwards

Just had an email from support today. It goes as follows:

Hello,

Greetings from Amazon.co.uk.

I understand that you wish to know when the item "MSI V330-069R GeForce GTX 1070 Quick Silver 8G OC PCIE 3.0/8 GB GDDR5 256 Bit Graphics Card - Black" comes in stock with us.

I have contacted the buying team for you and they have updated me that item will be in stock with us on following dates:

56 quantities on August 29, 2017.

44 quantities on August 30, 2017.

Please rest assured that your order as expected as soon it is stocked and will be delivered by then.

Orders can be dispatched right up until the night prior to delivery, depending on the service used. We'll send you an e-mail when your order dispatches and you'll be able to follow its progress in Your Account.

I'm really sorry delay in responding. Since I need to check with more than one team on this, it has taken some extra time for me to update you.

We hope to see you again soon.

We shall see......

its good to know.. its just a shame amazon cant reveal how many pre-orders they are sat on.. if its 110 then everyone will be happy before the end of the month.. if its 500 then some of us will be waiting a while yet

I ordered on 6th July and a week later changed my method of payment. I asked Amazon if that pushed me to the back of the queue but they didn't answer my question.

I originally thought the same when I added a £50 giftcard to the pre-order as it seemed to change the date.. but i think that was just coincidence as its clearly changed for other people on here as well at random times

I tried to get a confirmation on the date - didn't get one :thinking:

Spoke with CS and they said they have no idea how come other people have those dates. The buying team said they don't even have access to that information.

It's discussing really, advertising and selling a product that they have no idea when (or if) will be in stock.

I seriously believe they will just hold off until people cancel.

They expected prices to drop when Vega came out. When they didn't, they faced selling at a loss as their supplier has probably kept prices high.

The cards are never going to come. :disappointed:

Then I'll be asking Amazon for an alternative at the same price. Trouble is.....they don't have any.

I already tried, when the red version of the same specced MSI card came in stock, but no joy - I was offered a £10 promo and a £15 discount if I choose the red card, but that still would have been about 30% more :thinking:

Contacted again on Monday after being told to do so two weeks prior if it hadn't arrived by then. Agent said they'd personally personally follow up the order and email me about its status within 24 hours. Didn't happen. Spoke on Wednesday again about why they're making promises like that and just got the 'we need to get stock in' and 'I will escalate this for you' deal. Got £10 back in vouchers from it so far but I just want my grafix cat. :cry:

Some people here got their orders.. that's the only reason I'm not cancelling just yet.

It would be madness to cancel. The ball is in Amazon's court.

Totally, they have delivered some, mine included, very nice card and it's the OC version.

So I gather some have had a message to say their card would be dispatched today. Can anyone confirm?

Not according to Amazon website!

Don't know about anyone else but I haven't.

I need your customer service adviser, mine just told me to cancel.

seems to be pure luck as to whether you get a CS advisor that doesnt care, feeds you some lies about a new future dispatch date or one that acknowledges the delay and gives you some form of compensation/delay

Wow that is extra nice , I shall set up a camel camel camel , if it drops to a certain price on the Amazon website they will refund me the difference too.

I asked Amazon if they'd refund me the difference and they said it's against their standard policy.

I also asked for a dispatch date, stating other people have been getting their dates and CS was unhelpful.

Ok so I've just had a result. I don't want to post the transcript from my chat session as I don't want to cause issues for the guy I just dealt with. But basically I asked if they would sell me a GTX 1080 using the same percentage discount. The upshot is I've just ordered an MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X Plus 11Gbps for £360. These are currently £600. I am extremely happy to say the least. Think my 550W PSU may struggle. :joy:

what did you work the percentage discount out as? I cant recall what the original price of the 1070 was meant to be

Had to think on my feet as the order summary doesn't show it. Told the guy I thought it was originally £489 meaning the discount was just under 40%. Once I'd typed this I figured they'd never go along with it. He said he had to run it past a supervisor and came back telling me if I promptly made the order they'd adjust the price afterwards. But I still didn't know what the price would be!
I ordered it regardless and he asked for some time. Then came back saying it was £360!!
He asked if I would like to cancel the 1070 and I said sure, as long as the 1080 was going to arrive. He said there are no numbers showing so there should be ample numbers. It's a bloody pre-order (again) but should be in 31st August. They aren't so good for mining so hopefully there wont be any shortages.
If you try this remember there are numerous similar models on Amazon. This one has the upgraded memory bandwidth.
Good luck!!

I just tried that with Amazon and they said they can't sell another item for a discount. Also they said they're expected to receive the 1070 by the end of October!

My chat session was going nowhere. He even told me he was unable to contact the buying team. I told him it was a disappointing chat session and I was about to exit when I figured I'd ask the question. And the whole thing turned at that exact moment. He even thanked me at the end for having a fantastic idea. It seems to be a lottery with Amazon CS. He offered me nothing. But as soon as I asked about a GTX 1080 at a similar percentage discount he almost seemed relieved that I asked. I feel even more fortunate now. But remember it hasn't dispatched yet so I'm not counting my chickens until I receive it.

Tried it again they said they're not allowed to give out discounts for other items and confirmed they are not receiving the 1070 until end of October. This is pretty fucking silly.

*I asked to speak with a supervisor that gave me the information above

I'm happy you got it sorted. On the other hand, I feel a bit salty as I tried the exact same thing - When the red MSI 1070 OC (essentially the same card) came in stock I asked them if I could have that instead, explaining this is an essential work tool that I sorely miss, but no. I asked to talk to a supervisor, in case she/he has more power to get it sorted, but all he could do was he offered a £15 discount, which he said already exceeds what he could do according to their policy. Also, I was patient and polite throughout the these conversations, not demanding or anything. Anyways, I managed to snatch up a GTX 1070 from Currys for under £310 yesterday, so I'm sorted for the time being, but intend to use the MSI card when / if it comes through.

Was that from the online store at Currys

Just spoke to them, was only offering £60 discount on another 1070 which still would've been £90 more, only gave £20 credit on my account.

Yup, the deal was posted under Oculus Rift / Vive, but luckily they had a decent 1070 that the 20% off also applied to.

Got an email from a supervisor, he is saying they expect to get it on the second week of September!

Hello,

I'm Sandeep, one of the Supervisors at Amazon.co.uk.

I'm sorry to hear about the change to the estimated delivery date for your order [Redacted]

When you place an order, our system determines the best fulfilment plan for your order given the stock availability and delivery methods. On rare occasions, circumstances not known at the time of ordering will prompt our system to re-evaluate our inventory or delivery options.

I've checked and see that the item is currently not in stock with us. However, upon checking with our fulfilment centre, we expect the stock to arrive in the second week of September 2017.

Please note that it is just an estimated date provided by the supplier and if there is any issue when receiving the stock we'll update you with an email.

If you don't wish to wait further, you can cancel the order before dispatch and you won't be charged for it. Unfortunately, we won't be able offer any discount on a different item as you've mentioned in your email.

I hope this helps.
Warmest regards,
Sandeep

Think I got lucky. Very lucky. Like the poster above who's had his price reduced to £250. Like I said, I won't get to excited until I actually have the thing. To anyone else id say it's still worth trying online chat and telling them you are dissatisfied with the chat session. You may be chatting to someone who's prepared to offer you a deal. It really is a lottery.

Just in case anyone may have doubted what I have said.....


They are now showing as in stock.

Well my chat was not as helpful as yours, tried to see if they would offer me the discount on another card, after I was basically told it would not be arriving, that it was discontinued and no longer on the amazon website
Advisor checked with their manager and was told it was against policy and I was given £10 credit instead.

I'm guessing that's going to be a similar response to what I am going to receive. Chat advisor has taken responsibility for my query. I have got the Zotac mini on pre order with ebuyer so that is my fall back. I sold my graphics card shortly after I made this order so been using the i5 onboard graphics. Needless to say it's been a painful couple of months

That is when these kinds of deals are a real pain , unless you have a backup card or holding out with your current card then it is a verrrrrry long wait indeed.....

GG to bouttime for getting a 1080 for £360 out of this whole mess.

I just bought a 1080 at £480 in the meantime.

i just got off the chat with someone who wasn't beating around the bushes. I was told the following:
1. They screwed up. (Well, duh)
2. As it stands now, the orders won't be processed, at least they have 0 information on it ever coming back in stock.

I tried to get price match on a different card, but no joy (apart from an offer for a £10 discount on an another card).

Well if the 1080 arrives then I will consider it all worthwhile to be honest. Have to say I think Amazon should be pulling out all the stops to keep you all happy. Quite possibly they took far too many orders and priced the card far too low. Bare on mind I did lay it on pretty thick with the Amazon CS guy. But we do spend quite a bit of cash on Amazon so maybe that was a factor. But quite probably I just got very lucky.

Amazon now showing the 1080 as in stock 4th September. My order is apparently being prepared for dispatch but looks like I could be waiting longer than I thought. Not again surely!?! :thinking:

So after 7 weeks I got a resolution half an hour ago. Initially the rep offered a Zotac Mini version for the same price, I said it was a respectable offer but mentioned that it also had stock issues and was inferior in quality. They prompted me to provide a suitable replacement on the site and I linked the EVGA Superclocked since it was miraculously in stock and roughly the same sort of quality.

Initially they said they could only offer up to £70 value and to pick something in the same price range, but when I mentioned that prices are now inflated 2 months later, and that the MSI model I ordered would cost more than the EVGA if it was in stock, they said they could do it.

Being delivered on Monday. :thumbsup:

Well done, another winner on the Amazon CS lottery!

I pretty much try it now daily, but the supervisors / leads offer no help at all :thinking:

I can't even get a £10 credit :angry:

Well done. My 1080 is coming from Spain! Due to arrive Tuesday. Goes to show how desperate the shortage is when they have to ship them from Spain.
Amazon need to come up with a policy to look after everyone who ordered these MSI cards.

All I get from CS is more lies and promises about getting back to me when I know they wont. No one I've spoken to seems to care that I have waited close to 2 months and all they offer up is 'you can cancel if you want'.. so yea nicely done if you manage to get anything out of this

Hopefully a few others will be sent out too....

I'm guessing it wont be.. if they knew of incoming stock in 8days they surely would have amended the dispatch info on the orders?

My date has not been amended. I guess this just gives me more ammunition for when they fail to deliver yet again.

Has now been dispatched from France, and revised to deliver on Sunday. No stopping this train now! You're right, they must be desperate trying to source cards wherever they can.

Funny.....mine is in France now. Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

I'm getting nowhere with customer service. Just now I spoke to the most unhelpfuil customer service employee so far. He wouldn't even check with the buying team for me like everybody else normally does. Basically, all I got from him was 'it's not in stock so there is nothing I can do' and 'you were not charged for this item'. What do I have to do to get to speak to one of those employees that actually help?

from my latest cs chat after a failed promise to get back to me: "I have checked and can see that the previous representative has already escalated this issue to the relevant department and they have provided surety dates for the item which is 09/10/2017." .. so someone must be making these dates up

asked for the chat to be escalated to a supervisor who then said that there are no known dates for stock and hes not sure where the previous adviser got his dates from. queried possibility of another card + discount but got no where.

I was told that's it was coming into stock on the 09/09/2017. Hopefully they all get dispatched and come soon.

Lets face it, they aren't coming. I'll keep my order open, just in case by some miracle they actually deliver but at this stage i'm not really expecting it to turn up.

Their buying team has probably already given up and isn't even looking.

I expect I'll hold off buying a new card now until we get a look at the AIB Vega 56s or later if they do not impress.

Agreed - not coming . Particularly painful as i ordered a g sync monitor from amazon at same time and really need the upgrade to a 1070 to benefit. I am so unimpressed by amazon cs that i am going to keep pushing them . Even more galling now that nvidia are going to push up their rrp's for these cards because of the memory shortage . All in all a bit of a pain . On the 6th sep i will be having a right go at amazon and ask them how they propose to " celebrate " the two month anniversary of my order - yes i am bitter ha ha

I'm right there with you, I'm also bitter right now and am going to keep pushing them as well. I expect a bit more from them than a £10 discount when others are getting some great alternatives.

Keep going mate - seperately got £15 £10 one month extra prime and another £5 so keep at them . Would give all that back for a card .

I bought myself a 1080 for 480£ in the meantime. Prices are going up next month with the memory shortages, so if y'all are planning to upgrade do it now.

The Xbox X is starting to look like very good value for money.

Well , if you like up-scaled 1440p to 4k at 30fps....it is pretty good, I used to do that a lot on my 980ti....worked well and looked good , but did manage 60fps.

You know...this GTX 1080 will be overkill for me. I only really play WoT on an Asus ROG 1440p 144hz G-SYNC monitor. Even my current EVGA GTX 970 is plenty good enough.
Maybe when the 1080 arrives I'll try some other games. My two boys I'll have the 970 in their PC.

Just got e-mailed this, so don't know if all of us bothering them is actually getting them to do something.

"Hello,

We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered on July 06 2017 (Order# ).

Please note: This e-mail was sent from a notification-only address that can't accept incoming e-mail."

ie "please cancel you order.. you know you can cancel!!"

I had an age with them on the chat this afternoon- gave me nothing by way of alternative cards at discount price etc . All i learnt was latest estimate is 9 Oct .

Received 3 e-mails just like that over the course of the last 2 months, they'll just keep sending those until you cancel I guess

Latest update received this morning:

Hello,

Greetings from Amazon.co.uk.

I understand that you wish to know when the order #0....9 will get shipped.

As promised, I've followed up the issue with our Buying team and received an update that, we will receive the stock on second week of September, 2017.

Hence your order will get shipped and delivered within the third week of this month. Please rest assured that your order is progressing as expected and will be delivered by then.

Orders can be dispatched right up until the night prior to delivery, depending on the service used. We'll send you an e-mail when your order dispatches and you'll be able to follow its progress in Your Account:

Spent 1h30 getting no where with CS last week trying to get a card actually in stock. The agent promised me an update and I've received this today:

"
Our fulfillment team have advised us that we are due to get more stock of the item MSI V330-069R GeForce GTX 1070 Quick Silver 8G OC PCIE 3.0/8 GB GDDR5 256 Bit Graphics Card - Black during the 2 week period from next Monday.

I have been advised that we should get enough stock to fulfill all outstanding customers' orders during that period. Please note, that we will endeavour to fulfill orders in the sequence they were placed.

I hope this helps, but if we can assist you further with this or anything else, please don't hesitate to get in touch by replying to this email or by using the link below:"

Hopefully they'll come through!

That's probably the most believable response from Amazon so far.

1h30?! Damn that's some perseverence!. I don't believe anything said by Amazon's CS anymore, but am curious to see whether this is true or not. Ordered that 980ti that was on here last night because I've kinda lost hope on this one, but if it does end up coming I could probably flip that 980ti with a small profit.

Ah I was at work so it was on and off

Also the agent's name was Irish sounding, rather than the usual Indian agents. So hopefully the info is more reliable.

So this card just got went on sale on Amazon France for €410, not in stock of course though and no shipping estimate. Very interesting...

Same on Amazon Italy and Spain. Could this mean the supplier will finally send out cards? All out of stock, but taking orders. Might it be possible they try to ramp up pre-orders to buy cheaper in bulk?
Amazon.fr
Amazon.it
Amazon.es

Could be, but I'd expect it to be back for sale on Amazon UK as well then.

Well just my luck, the MSI 1070 has stopped working, so I contacted amazon and had a good old moan, they offered me a full refund and a £10 gift card, which I was not happy with.

So I asked for a call from head office, anyway 10 minutes ago I got a call, I explained my situation and disappointment at waiting 7 weeks for a faulty card, they said they could offer me the red msi 1070 gaming x at 448 and no extra charge, so I said hmmm if I was spending that kind of money, I'd buy a gtx 1080, surely you have gtx 1080 for not much more , he agreed and said the maximum he can give me is £150 towards a different card, so In the end I ended up with a evga gtx 1080 sc with a free code for Destiny 2, so I paid the difference of around £40, my new card will be with me in a few days.

So a evga gtx 1080 and a free destiny 2 code for £351.99 is all good by me :smile:

Just finished a chat with CS and got this 1080 for 340£. amazon.co.uk/MSI…080 The trick seems to be mentioning the rising prices then I named a price and they agreed.

Congratulations! Could you give any pointers? Did you ask to speak to anyone, or how did it go? Thanks!

Went through the usual, you havent been charged and they told me it was in stock with another seller. I said

Me: I've waited so long for it to come, in the meanwhile prices have risen a lot.

They then offered to help me with the price of a new Amazon sold item. It took a couple goes to get and I ended up naming a price of 340 and they accepted it.

The chat took almost an hour so stay persistent

Will the card be eligible for a free copy of Destiny 2? The person I spoke to said that offer ended tonight and they had spare codes in case I was not sent one automatically... If they didn't offer a free code, it might be worth calling and having a extra moan... Even if you won't play the game, the code is worth £30

Did you call them, or do it over web-chat ?

It had destiny 2 on the page when I ordered it, I really liked the first one and had pre ordered it with amazon (which I cancelled). Thanks for the heads up, it's quite important to me. I'll see what CS have to say.

Web chat

Do you remember the name for the person you spoke to? I've tried this with someone called Dyson who said it was against Amazon policy which is clearly bollocks.

Also happy 2 month anniversary. :angry:

Thanks! I gave it a shot, but I keep getting the same answer: What I ask is simply not possible. I'm really puzzled as that's what all reps, supervisors and managers told me, yet some of you clearly had a different experience..

Ask for a call from head office, that is what I did and I got a evga gtx 1080sc plus destiny 2, total £351

You've out done me! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! :cry:

Let me know how you get on with the card as the 1080 I received is only giving 40-70 FPS in Watchdogs with stutter. Yet it clocks all the way to almost 2000mhz on its own. The Division also keeps freezing. I've reinstalled and rolled back drivers. I'm just reinstalling Watchdogs now. This is on a 1440p monitor.
Possibly it's my i5 CPU but lowering settings doesn't seem to do much.

I gave it another try and again they told me that there is nothing they can do and the product might not get delivered at all. So I mentioned the price rise etc. but all I get is: we can cancel the product and you can place a new order. So as they were not offering anything, I tried asking friendly for a different card instead, to which they said it's not something they can do. So after trying a couple of times more in a friendly way without any result, I just calmy tried confronting them with the fact that it is something they can do as it has been done a couple of times before, and that I feel like I'm being lied to. To that they responded: "Without any order numbers I wouldn't be able to check and see what has been done but it's not something in our policy.". Oh and as it took 'too long' for me to respond, he just straight up ended the chat while I was still typing. Just my luck :cry:

Edit: I got an e-mail from the same guy to follow up on the chat.

If you are playing watchdogs 2 , I have had a 1080 in the past , currently running a 1080ti , but 1080 will struggle with watchdogs , if you have the settings turned up , I had to tweak it loads to get a good solid 60fps at 4k ,infact most ubisoft titles are graphics card hogs i think due to their open world enviorment, I really like my ubisoft games , so turn down MSAA , ultra high shadows , that kind of thing.

Which I5 is it ? i run a 6600k , I did have a i5 6400 running the old bios to enable non K overclocking , worked very well for overclocking.

My 1080ti cannot handle watchodogs 2 at very highest settings it drops to a crawl.....ubisoft make some very demanding games.

Call them again and ask for a call from head office , things changed once they called me , from a full refund + £10 giftcard , to a £150 giftcard against a 1080SC evga with Destiny 2 code thrown in............

anyone else wondering , ask for the head office call ,the person from head office had what sounded like a soft spoken Irish accent to me , nice person to deal with , seems to be a totally different place to the usual where they call you or you call them to their normal moan and groan customer services dept.

Give it a whirl.

call the standard moan and groan line , forget webchat and ask for a call from head office when they assure you they can do nothing more for you ......things changed for the better once head office called me back some hours later :smile:

The proofs in the pudding , so have your cake and eat it .

I'm not in the UK so calling would probably get very expensive for me. About half an hour after the chat session they called me (didn't ask for it) but I missed the call, so now I'm waiting for them to hopefully call me again.

Honestly if you go to the contact us page on amazon you have a option for them to call you , ask them to call you , they call straight away , have a moan , then ask for a head office call , it will not cost anything in calls.

That's interesting....the guy that let me have the GTX 1080 had an Irish sounding name. Coincidence?.....

Maybe , here is a the first line of the email I was sent by the person I spoke to who arranged the gtx1080


"My name is Daithí, I am one of the Customer Service Supervisors on duty today."

Did you receive a email too after speaking with them ?

Daithi is our friend ! Didnt speak to him but got an evga 1070 sc for 355 out of them which with their previous credits means about £320 ( on chat for ages . At end chat asked that the cs person showed the chat to a supervisor and they mail me back - there really is no consistency . Lottery ! ). Card arrived yesterday so will get it installed tonight .

No.... different name. As for my 1080, ive got mixed opinions on its performance. The Witcher 3 and Tomb Raider look fantastic at very high FPS on a 1440p resolution. Battlefield 1 also looks incredible but slightly lower FPS. World of Tanks doesn't appear to be THAT much better than my GTX 970. Maybe just another 20 FPS. But the Ubisoft games The Division and Watchdogs 1 are pretty much unplayable no matter the graphics settings so possibly it's not GPU related.

Ubisoft games in general are often badly optimised, so it's normal that performance isn't as good as it should be, but it shouldn't be unplayable. World of Tanks is really CPU dependend, so you're probably bottlenecked by your CPU in that game.

Thanks. Think it may be a recent Windows update. Will have to try my laptop and compare as that has a GTX 970m and The Division played fine a few months back.
There seems to be a few posts on the Ubisoft forums complaining of a recent drop in FPS and stutter.

Very happy with 1070 plus a day off work ! Think i know the answer but presumably its worth an extra £18 to extend the evga warranty from 3 to 5 years ? Ta

Hmmmm you have to ponder if you will keep the card that long, I imagine a lot of folk swp after 2 years , 1 year for the next user as evga allow the warranty on used

Cheers . Prob will pass as your right - in 5 years time when we have our holodecks the 1070 will be a distant hopefully fond memory !

Gave them a call today. Couldn't get a head office call as the CS agent was bloody clueless. Managed to get through to a manger who offered the EVGA 1080 for £400. While it's not as good as some of you have managed to wangle, I'm happy enough with that...at least I'll get it!

Should arrive by Tuesday.

did you just ask for the call to be escalated to get through to a manager?

I first spoke to whom ever answered my first call , they could not do anything for me , so I asked to speak to a supervisior / manager , they offered me a full refund and £10.00 gift voucher, I was not happy with that , so I then asked for a call from head office , I had to ask a few times before he agreed I would get a call from head office within 1 - 3 hours , but actually it was more like 7 hours later , but it was worth the wait...

cool.. will give that a try.. ive been through to a supervisor but hadnt considered a level higher

My actual words where, "if head office can't help me, I will contact the C.E.O" :smile:

Yup. Head Office seems to be the end game, but again I was at work trying to sort this out, so didn't really have the ability to continue making a fuss (else I would of).

Just incase anyone doubted :smile:

Good work. Still a very good price and EVGA have a reputation for customer service which is second to none.

Let's hope this does not turn into MSI gtx 1070 long delivery date part 2, mine is still been prepped for delivery too, they had 5 in stock when I ordered...

My 1080 took 5 days to arrive from Spain. It sat in France over the weekend. Worth the wait though.

Still waiting..... Anyone had a recent order update?

I asked for a call from head office. And the American woman on the phone said she could only give me head office email. And that they have no way of calling me? Urghh so frustrating this.

Just stand your ground on the phone, I refused the email address

It has been a long road,

Firstly, I was hopeful, or maybe naïve.

I contacted amazon maybe every 2 – 3 days once first ordering, always being told that my item was being dispatched, or even out for delivery. I would then contact them the next day to say that the tracking had not been updated/delivered was not made, to then be told that the previous CS agent had lied, I would then request compensation, the initial offer would be 3-5 GBP, I would refuse and they would offer 10 GBP.

This went on for about a month with me gaining around £90.00 I believe, after this time I hit the “cancellation wall”, every CS would suggest I cancelled and no more compensation was offered and I was told I had reached the maximum amount allowed for one order.

As we approached the 2 month mark, I began to contact CS again, but this time requesting an item to replace the undelivered order. To be told time and time again this was not possible (by phone, by email, by live chat)

2 days before the 2 month mark I thought I would try again, this time I found a similar item the MSI 1080 8gb, I went into a chat explained the story, and requested they sent me this card, each CS refused saying it was not possible. Maybe 8-10th CS I explained my copy and pasted story, and they replied with a simple “yes” – they questioned the fact the 1080 was different to my original order, thinking on my feet as I actually hadn’t planned to get this far, I came out with some nonsense about how they were both 8gb and that was all that matter and the 1070 referred to the item being silver and the 1080 to the item being red…. They agreed. I requested them applied the same “discount” (do not use “price match” this is a big NO NO flagged phrase from amazon) be applied, I explained about prices being inflated now etc. The CS just agreed and asked me to purchase the item and the discount would be applied, I asked them to spell it out, that if I purchased this £509.98 item would be reduced the same as my original order, they agreed. I purchased waited on the chat as they began to change the cost of the item, after 5 minutes I was asked to refresh and a total of £200 was now being charged for this item. As you can imagine I thanked them and ended the chat.

This was due to be delivered on the 7th, as you can expect the date came and went, no delivery, I was told an attempt was made, and I left instruction to leave the item in a secure place. This was not followed, I called that evening and was told a redelivery would be made that evening up until 10pm, (before this was placed on hold for 45minutes prior by another CS and then hung up on), 10pm came and went and no delivery, I was told “100% no matter what” it would be deliver on the 8th. Again it was not, I contacted CS once again and was told that no action had been taken on my account and that the parcel was not out for delivery, I was then told it was out for delivery and not to worry it would be here before 10pm and to extend my patience. I contacted them again (it really is just a lottery) and was told my item was damaged and was being returned to amazon no delivery would be made, I was informed I needed to make a new delivery, the earliest available delivery was Monday, I explained this was not good enough etc. apologies were offered and I was told hard luck. I contacted CS via live chat, explained the situation and that Monday was not good enough, (lottery again 3rd agent) I suggested the only card I could find for next day delivery 1080ti 11g, I was told it was too expensive (£919.99). I explained how my previous order had a discount applied surely he could apply the same discount, he said it was not possible it was too expensive etc. He said my other item would arrive before the 11th don’t worry, I insisted I did not believe him explaining how ordered for the 7th. He was slightly understanding I pushed on the 1080 ti once again and then suggested he suggest some items, however everything he offered was to be delivered on the 11th. I explained this was what I was trying to avoid I wanted it next working day. I explained how the 1080ti was only a little more expensive and was available next day. I offered to pay an additional £50, (total £250) I explained how I thought that was fair seeing as the delivery meant I could receive this the next day. He accepted and once again I purchased the item at full price and it was adjusted it to £250 + £4.49 express delivery).

Somehow I went for a 1070 at £312, to a 1080 at £200, to a 1080ti at £250 – with the addition of £90 promotion credit.

This has been one hell of a ride lads !

Im now awaiting delivery of my 1080ti tomorrow on the 9th……

P.S. I would say, if you're live chatting, and they don't agree, don't fight them end the chat and try again, every "supervisor" i spoke with agreed with the CS agent obviously. This was a total dead end every time !

Nice, a super cheap 1080ti, let's hope it is delivered

My word you've put the hours in there. But well done Pal as that is easily the best deal so far. If it doesn't arrive just think......at this rate next week they'll be paying you to take a whole new PC from them.

You just won the lottery! A 1080ti at that price is insane

I hope you asked for a Destiny 2 code as well... If not, then it might be worth a call, at least one of your orders would of been eligible for the free code...

Awaiting the delivery, was unsure it it came with the card/in packaging or as a separate code, i will chase for the code if not though, thanks for the reminder !

What's the crack with the Destiny 2 code?

Tyronebigman - you are the bigman . RESULT ( if it arrives !!!!! ).

The code is sent via email, I've not yet had mine yet, buy my card has not arrived either , but the man at head office, said they had spare codes and would contact me again 7 days later to see how things had progressed.

It was a promotional offer for gtx 1080 and 1080ti purchases

Is that not only if you buy direct from Nvidia? As I can't see the promotion on Amazon.

Does anyone have the number of the head office number that rang them? I was supposed to get a call back from a manager yet again twice now they have not called back. Absolute joke from Amazon this

(partial) success! spoke to a CS advisor.. as usual didnt get anywhere.. asked for a call from head office.. though turns out it was just a call from CS (shows as a dublin number) - anyhow explain the situation and made the following points:

1) waited 2 months patiently and numerous promises about delivery and getting back in touch broken - also lost out on offers on other cards that i didnt go for waiting for this order to come through
2) 1070 prices have risen sharply - suggested they view the closest MSI 1070 card which is now on amazon at £448 (£137 difference
3) have lost second hand value on my old 970 card had i been able to sell it 2months ago (~ £30)

I unfortunately tripped up a bit suggesting the red msi 1070 was the same but with 'slightly different performance'.. shouldnt have said the last bit.. they initially offered me £60 as a token gesture.. i rejected that on the basis that:

1) £311 and £60 is £371 and you cant buy any 1070 on amazon currently for £371
2) lost second hand value as above

They then price matched to the white asus 1070 (at £398 - this is where i couldnt get past the fact i had mentioned slight performance difference of the other card.. maybe i could have pushed it harder though).. questioned if i could apply the £88 difference to a different card and they agreed to apply it to the 'Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1080' and re-apply the expedited shipping.. not as great a deal as others on here but im happy enough at £401.. coming tomorrow

GL to anyone still waiting to try this.. getting a call back is the way forward

i didnt get a head office call but i did get a call back from CS.. just ask an advisor to put in the call straight away

The offer has finished, the offer was available to all purchasers of gtx 1080 and 1080ti cards bought from various retailers, the last day of the offer was the 5th of September.

I ordered my 1080 29th August from Amazon. Am I eligible?

I believe so, you should call and ask where your code is, I'm unsure if it was applicable to certain brands, but the EVGA card I bought was part of the promo.

Wonder if it's worth trying to Wangle one? I'd of been a couple of days out.

Definitely, you've had a very long wait, it is not really your fault you missed the date , you have a good case and I was told they have spare keys, stand your ground.

my card has just been dispatched, still waiting on the Destiny 2 code though

Mines in :sunglasses:

GPU porn. :thumbsup:

I got on chat for for what feels like the thousandth time and after we reached the "Sorry, there is nothing we can do for you" phase I asked for a call, which the rep helpfully arranged. A few minutes on there was a call from Dublin, but my hopes went south as a machine voice came on - A generic CS line:( Anyways, the conversation with the rep felt a lot like talking to an actual human, so it was an improvement, he was helpful and sympathetic, but said I best wait as the card is definitely coming in stock - only they can't tell when. At that point I had to insist to talk to someone who have the means to help, as we're talking about a 45 day delay and I really need this part for work, but was told his supervisor would only tell me the same - to wait. So we went in circles for a bit, I kept asking for a call back, when suddenly he said that his superior tells that they can do a price match after all, just put the card I want in the basket. What? Really? That's insane! So I put the same specced MSI 1070 (red) in the basket as asked, but then realized it's not in stock either.. At that point I really wanted to get the part ASAP, so decided to try a 1080 and offered to pay the difference. So I go through with the checkout with the new card, and after a few minutes I see the price has been adjusted to £311. I couldn't believe it, they refused my offer to pay the difference. I still have a hard time believing how great length they went to solve this, all I can say is WOW! I all but gave up hope for getting my work build finished, but I'm a happy bunny now!

So in the end I got a MSI 1080 Gaming X 8GB for £311 minus £10 promo and I got further £9 credit for buying gift cards earlier, leaving me paying £292 for the card. This was yesterday afternoon, and the card has already arrived and inside my rig:) Thanks a lot for helping to make this happen!!

That is fantastic for you. Good work! It's nice to see some people are getting a result. Is it the plus version with the higher memory bandwidth?

That's the one I got: MSI 1080 Gaming X
I'm running tests right now, and not sure about gaming, but for rendering (FStorm), driver 378.78 gave me significantly better results than the newer ones (382.??) - The GPU Usage fluctuates a lot with later drivers while with 378.78 it's pretty much topped out when rendering. Not sure how/if that translate to games, but might worth a try for those who were disappointed by the performance.

i take it you've stress tested? any coil whine (appreciate its a bit of a lottery)?

Well done for standing your ground, amazing price :smile:

No stress test, rendering maxes the card the card completely anyways. There's no whine, everything seems great, the card seems happy enough at 2050/5000 :smile:

Coil whine can be the result of a under powered psu

Ok so it is slightly different to mine as I managed to get the Gaming X Plus. But it's still an amazing price and a better deal than I got to be honest. Thanks for the heads up on the driver situation. I think the reason I was underwhelmed with the performance was to do with the two Ubisoft games that max out my i5 CPU causing it to bottleneck the GTX 1080.
I do get some coil whine but I think it only happens with G-SYNC and V-SYNC off, on loading screens and menus when the FPS go sky high. Normal gameplay it's silent.

Good effort to anyone who's gotten anything useful out of Amazon CS.

I get a voucher here and there, but I think my return on whinge time is barely minimum wage!

I have absolutely no luck with the American call centre it is driving me mad!

Same here its absolute BS. All they say is the item will be in stock on the 19th and maybe dispatched. MAYBE DISPATCHED sounds soo promising.

Let all those maybes be your babies and let them grow into a gtx1080 in the near future , if Amazon fail you .

Excellent :smile:

Well done fella.

Thanks everyone!
Guys if you havnt succeeded don't give up! I emailed this address with my phone number and asked for a call back [email protected]amazon.co.uk

I spoke to an Indian guy who said the best he could do was £400 and that's against company policy. I didn't accept that I said can you do 360 as of the circumstances. He went away for a few minutes and said yes. I wish I pushed for more now haha! But I'm happy with the £10 discount I got from the other day I've paid 350 for a 1080

Success here too guys! Tried live chat about 10 times over the past two month and got nothing. Requested a call back last night and spoke to a "manager" who was very unhelpful and couldn't do anything. Told him I wanted to speak to his manager. He told me he was the highest level manager there. Only thing he could do was organise a member of staff from the uk call centre to call me today. I received a call around 9:30am this morning and spoke to a lovely Irish lady. She offered me the difference via a gift card! I couldn't believe it. She gave me £193 gift card credit which means I can buy the EVGA 1080 for the same price as the MSI 1070 I had on order. What a result! She also emailed me to confirm:

Hello Jack,

This is Sarah and I'm part of the management team at Amazon.

I'm sorry to hear about the issue with the delay in your order for the MSI V330-069R GeForce GTX 1070 Quick Silver 8G OC PCIE 3.0/8 GB GDDR5 256 Bit Graphics Card - Black.

As discussed, I'm happy to provide you with a gift card for the £193.00 price difference so you can go ahead and place a new order for the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-6183-KR.

I've added the gift card to your account now. When you place your next order, on the payment section of our online order form, you should see that the Gift Card funds have been automatically applied to your order. If you don't see this credit in the order cost summary, make sure the radio button is selected under the words "You have £193.00 in gift cards or promotional credit available for use toward this purchase. Would you like to apply it?"

Please note that you can also apply a Gift Card after you've placed an order, provided that none of the items in the order are marked as "Dispatching soon". For instructions on how to do this, see our Help page:

amazon.co.uk/gp/…510

As requested, I've cancelled your order # 206-6359277-7088354 and you haven’t been charged for it.

I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Warmest regards,

Keep trying guys! A phone call is the way!

Results! Excellent, well done for the both of you!!:)

Blimey......at this rate people will be disappointed if the 1070s DO come back in stock. Well done!

True , imagine how much heat the offer would of generated , if people knew some people would be getting gtx 1080 and one guy getting a gtx 1080ti for a similar price !!!

Haha yeah I was kinda hoping it wouldn't come back in stock! So I could keep going at cs

Do you any of you guys still have your 1070 on order after getting a 1080?

They cancelled mine for me. I got the impression it's wasn't an option to leave the order open.

Call up and complain , ask for a call from head office and reference this thread here , I would be out raged and rightly so.

After processing the GTX 1080, they asked me if I'd like them to cancel the GTX 1070. I agreed as I don't need both.

Did the same to me

I still have mine I think? He said he was cancelling it but I don't think it has been. I am going to keep it and sell it.

Nice one, I did not get that option due to me returning a faulty one , I am still waiting on my destiny 2 code , but no major rush due to the PC version not been out for around another 5 weeks , plus my ps4 version arrives tomorrow.

Ok so I just messaged Amazon CS about the missing Destiny 2 code. I received a reply in less than 1 hour with the code included.

Still waiting on mine, but I shall contact them tomorrow

Glad you did. I got told to contact EVGA :thinking:

It really is a lottery with their CS.

Amazon CS even confirmed they had checked and I was entitled to the code......


"I understand that you've ordered the GeForce GTX 1080 but you haven't received the code for Destiny 2. Please don't worry, I’m going to do my very best to help you.

I apologise as the code wasn't sent to you till now.

I can confirm that you were eligible for this incentive and I'm happy to send your code, as follows:"

Code already redeemed according to Nvidia.

Let us know how it goes , as I am going to have a moan shortly about my code.

Awaiting an email. It's been 'escalated'.

Just had a chat on line with Amazon , they have said the code will arrive within 7 - 10 days from the date of dispatch , my card was dispatched on the 9th , so I am happy to hold on for a while , plus the game is not out for a few more weeks..

But I will be testing the code straight away once it arrives....that is for sure.

Hmmm....strange how they emailed me a code. And my card was dispatched over two weeks ago.

What are the dates for destiny 2 is the msi card entitled to it?

Maybe if it's a gtx 1080 or a 1080ti

So I purchased the EVGA GTX 1070 FTW instead of the 1080. I only have a 1080p monitor so I thought the 1080 would be a waste. I've installed the card and tested it on a few games. DOOM, Crysis 3, Titanfall 2 and Gears of war 4. It perform worse than my MSI GTX 980ti. Yes it's more efficient and cooler temps wise but on Crysis 3 it's 10 FPS down, DOOM it's 15 FPS down and the same goes for the other games just not quite as much. I've tried to OC it but it will hardly take any overclock at all. +60 on the clock and around +150 on the memory. Anything else and it crashes. Think I'll be sending it back. I wasn't expecting it to be far superior to the 980ti but I didn't think it would be worse

A 980ti = gtx 1070, pretty much a side grade, no real difference, might be worth offering to someone on the site for the price you paid.

As above, 1070 is approximately the same performance of a 980Ti.

Anyone still waiting on their card to turn up? I've been going on webchat too many times now to be told its coming in then nothing happens and then I get told to wait even longer. And they are reluctant to help solve it. :thinking:

Take a look at the past few pages and basically have a good moan at customer services and demand a call back from head office, I did just they and got a evga gtx 1080 and a destiny 2 game code for a extra £40, they gifted me a £150 gift voucher, another guy managed a gtx 1080ti for the price of a gtx 1070 due to complaining...

Have a read.... It pays to complain, the squeaky wheel, gets the oil.

thanks for the reply. yeah ive been checking here for a while to see what other people experienced. some of you been very lucky haha so fairplay.

I asked for a supervisor to look into it and they emailed me the same rubbish that they cant offer anything else.

so looks like the only way is to ask for a call from head office.

did you ask for this on webchat or call them and ask for head office?

thanks

The Destiny 2 game coupon I received didn't work. Geforce Experience said it had already been redeemed. I've contacted CS 4 times now. The latest copy/paste response was information about an MSi service plan for all in one desktop PCs. :rage:‌ :rage:
Who the f*#k do they have working for them? Aarrgghhh!

Not good, well it's the 19th tomorrow, if my code has not arrived by the morning, I will contact them and try the code straight away, any issues and I will be instantly having a extra big moan with a call back from head office...

I got my code today as promised , but not delivered automatically , It was sent via the person I dealt with at head office , I have redeemed the code , it worked and is registered with my battlenet account for the release .....

Although I have been playing Destiny 2 on the PS4 , I am still looking forward to 4k , 60fps, 1080p at 30fps is bearable...due to the excellent gameplay , plus I managed to suffer 800 hours of Destiny 1 at 30fps....so I am kind of use to it :smile:

That's the number I got the call from, hope it helps! +35312478199
Good luck!

I ordered my gtx 1080 on the 5th of September (last day of the Destiny 2 promo). They said three times that I was elligable and would get it by September 20th. Now they say i'm not elligable.

I got my code yesterday, but it was not automatically sent, but was supplied by the person that dealt with my complaint.

Code has been entered and redeemed.

Here is a copy of the email, some details removed..

This is Daithí, I am part of the Management Team at Amazon.co.uk.

I tried to call you on *******, however was unable to reach you and was not given the option to leave a voicemail.

I am just writing to follow up as promised to provide a spare code for Destiny 2 which linked with the Promotion when purchasing the GTX 1080.

Your download code is: (removed)

You can find instructions on how to download and install with the code on the link below:

geforce.com/des…ons

Should you require any further information, we can be contacted from within your account in our help pages. See the following link to be brought to the page:

I hope this helps.
Warmest regards,

Still waiting for a response from CS about a code... Apparently they're "investigating"

I had absolutely no luck in getting any discount on an alternate product either. Tried numerous times, had callbacks - seems to be luck of the draw as to who you get. Might just cancel the order and stick with my 780 GTX - I don't think this 1070 will ever arrive at this rate.

Yeah me too.

Email this address and explain the situation and ask for a call back. I had an Indian guy who I spoke to.

[email protected]amazon.co.uk

Gave up in the end, cancelled order and bought a Zotac GTX 1080 Amp Extreme (New) £499 on Ebay. Managed to get £40 credit which is something I suppose...

Finally had a result that helped.

I found an email for the directors for amazon.

I explained the situation.

I then jad an email back with someone responding in behalf of the director who said he will investigate.

Few days went by and I heard nothing. So I emailed to ask if there was any update.

He replied saying that yes the stock was out and they dont know when it will be in so he asked to find a similar product to price match.

I chose the msi 1070 red which is very similar with a price of £475.

So he added a gift card with the difference of £165 for me to purchase.

So looks like I will be able to get a 1080 for around £360.

Anyone still trying just comment and I'll go find the email again.

Any luck?

Just spoke with Customer Escalations, after 4 emails who've told me Amazon don't issue codes for promos and I need to get in touch with the manufacturer :joy:

Maybe it's just me being cynical, but it doesn't look like either Amazon or Nvidia want to honour the deal.

It would be a shame if we all ordered 1080s and they developed faults a few months later and had to be returned...

I've now been issued Two codes by Amazon. Both had already been redeemed according to Geforce Experience and confirmed by Nvidia chat. As it's my Wife's Amazon account I've asked if Amazon registered the codes to my wife's email. They are looking into it. Nvidia are supposedly looking into when the codes were redeemed. Other than that, Nvidia are not interested in the slightest.

Great result - well done!

If you could share the email address, it would be appreciated - thank you!

Thank you very much! :thumbsup:

[email protected]amazon.co.uk

Here :smile:

So my order has just updated. Couple of weeks ago Amazon gave me the EVGA SC Black 1070 for the same price as the Quicksilver. They left the MSI order open and it has surprisingly just updated itself in my orders and listed an estimated arrival of 06th/07th October. Anyone else’s orders still open?

No update here. Looks like they managed to source a single card:)

Emailing Amazon's director works

How? What roughly did you write?

It's been 3 months and I'm still waiting, just sending me the copy/pasta mails and getting nowhere with delivery dates.

I used the customer chat to see when they could deliver it. Eventually they told me it was in stock at the end of September but nothing materialised. I basically said I don't trust the chat anymore.

It does seem that the card was in stock but I was nowhere near the top of the queue...

I emailed them yesterday using the address you gave me and Josh told me that he can't do anything but my email has been forwarded to the relevant department.

Heard nothing from the department and it's been 24 hours, so I guess nothings gonna happen :disappointed:

Mine got delivered Sunday so they are still sending them out as and when it seems
