I was talking on chat with Tove in denmark. My build should go into building by the end of next week with strix 3090, 23 day preproduction so far. And yes they did receive another batch of cards. Last week and this week. Can't wait

Hopefully I shouldn't be too far behind then, maybe the week after for me :)

Currently on working day 15 with a STRIX 3090 in Pre-Production, seen a few people having builds complete between 10-20 working days. Anyone else here with a STRIX 3090 and how long have you been waiting? Is anyone in building at the moment?

i just switched to strix 3090 when i saw it was available for pre order again, wondering how long i'll have to wait, on 23 working days pre production right now.

whhhhat? how? :eek: i certainly hope that doesnt happen to me when its shipped. Im in northern Ireland not sure if that means a different courier is used.
Most likely will be the same one. I don't think it happens often.. however I did check the reviews of the pallet company and it has 1.5 stars, all the comments are "lost my delivery" I am stuck in the middle atm as pc specialist and the company dispute who has lost it. On top of that I lost out on a £1500 Job as I don't have a workstation atm :D

Aaaaand just as we speak im now moved to 'in building' phase :eek: 😊
Nice one! I'd switch to Strix myself if I hadn't already made a bunch of other upgrades from my original order. On a regular 3090 here with 19 days in pre-production. Hopefully won't be too long if the 'average' time is 38 days for Desktops, especially if they're counting the long wait times for the 3080s in that too.

Well, I contacted support to just check in on current wait times & they said the regular 3090 is 2-3 months, but could be more, could be less lol. And the Strix, while there's less people on the list for them, delivery of stock is sporadic so that's like 2-4 months apparently.

yeh that was my worry having been on 21 working days i thought it was time to upgrade since payday came about again. I was considering getting a lower grade gpu and instead asking work to order a pny coz they are bulk ordering some with a batch of rtx quadros, but id prob still be waiting another month for it if i did.

When did you switch over to the strix version, if you don't mind me asking?
