Damm! That would hurt, but yet again its conflicting info, they told me 2 weeks ago they are getting shipments in a few times a week but its of varying amounts sometimes single digit amounts, then said last week they was waiting on a large delivery.Spoke to them today, they literally said they may not have any cards in stock till next year, as in , they have no clue at all, not even an eta on shipments. So i'd suggest holding your builds tbh
However if what they have told you is true, and they feel they wont get stock until the new year, am sorry but they need to be calling/emailing people about that and informing them of the situation.
Might even be worth cancelling the GPU with PCS and getting it from somewhere else, I had a friend order the Zotac one 3 weeks ago, it was shipped last night. So yes, the stock situation is dire, but some seem to be getting a lot more than others.
