I understand that, and I appreciate how unhelpful that is, but it also makes information supplied by non-PCS people on here even more suspect. If PCS can't tell you it's certain that nobody on here can either.
If your referring to my post. I state at the beginning that I could be wrong and that it also could be a bug in the system.
. He saw my order and did say that that it had been passed along the line so I kind of got the impression it was just the 3080 I was waiting for and any proper email, disregarding the automated mail said it was the 3080 holding me up. Last automated mail I got was yesterday was saying Monday is the day, 2 weeks ago I would have been excited by that, now I just smile and deleted. As on Monday lunchtime passed I was 229 in the queue having ordered at at 14.06. I reckon they'll contact you and your PSU has already been assigned but I could be wrong and I would call as people seem to be getting different reports from different agents. good to hear from someone who is ahead of me (by 2 minutes)
It’s not trolling, the page is pretty useless other than for saying the obvious.
Very well putThis whole thread is a perfect lesson in the difference between a visible and an invisible queue.
A visible queue is like a queue at the Post Office, everyone can see where they are in the queue and how fast the queue is moving - and 'the other queue always moves faster' of course. Everyone in the queue accepts the queue and are happy to abide by the unwritten 'rules' of queuing. Visible queues often form naturally without any form of external influence or guidance and everyone instinctively knows the 'rules'.
An invisible queue is like waiting on a call centre call where there is no information other than a rather tinny piece of (supposedly) calming music. Invisible queues are deeply frustrating because of the lack of any information at all about your location or the speed of the queue. Even those systems that tell you what number you are in the queue don't help much because you don't know how fast the queue is moving. Nobody likes invisible queues, they don't form naturally and people will take any advantage if they think it improves their position in the queue.
What's even worse with this 3080 issue is that there are two invisible queues; the PCS build queue that you're in and the supplier queue that PCS is in. Not only do you have no information about the PCS build queue but you also have no information about the supplier queue on which the PCS build queue depends!
It's interesting how some people are attempting to find their relative position in the queue in this thread. There are several 'you ordered just before me' posts, but just as with call centre queues above, not knowing how fast the queue is moving is the killer.
It's no wonder everyone is frustrated and desperate for any information that helps to make these queues visible. That's what the Overclockers page was attempting to do - provide some visibility - but I suspect all that does is increase the desire for even more visibility (hence the perfectly reasonable comment from @OliverCross230 above).
I know it doesn't help one jot to state the obvious that it will take as long as it takes - and I also know that's about the worst thing you can say to people in an invisible queue. Sorry.
Got the same email Sat and ordered 1 min before you on the same day. Still nada
I had high hopes of getting my PC in time for Squadrons, but i really hope i get it in time for Cyberpunk! Fingers crossed.Mine was the standard 3080 too. Oh well, fingers crossed we get them before Cyberpunk!
Ordered at 17:30
The day’s still young. Did you order the standard card or ROG?
ROG for me and ordered before also - so likely the delay
info from chat support : They is less demand for ROG strix so apparently order are treated faster. (info given when i asked if it would be worth it to amment order from reg 3080 to stric >> it's not for me as it reinitialize your place in the queue, obviously)
