ARCHIVE - *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION *** - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION

[OG Don Mecca]

Any news on these EVGA cards? I'm wanting to join the queue for a FTW3 Ultra but there's still no preorder available. Are EVGA behind other manufacturers in getting their stock sorted?

They were late to the party when the 1080ti was released lol

 

[OG Don Mecca]

Lmaooooo same

anyone else just get an email. I thought it was the dispatch email ffs heart rate a mile a min to find its another confirmation email with no new info.....

Me too lol

Probably off-topic question here, but this is my first time ordering from OC UK.
How is the package shipped ? Just in the original box of the GPU ?

Inside a box, usually with those inflatable plastic things. Sometimes snug.

Obviously no telling how many, if any, will be allocated to UK retailers/Overclockers but there's some hope for us who managed to get on the EVGA queue before pre-orders stopped!

Bios

Wow. Honestly, I would have just bought it. Even if Zotac never release a bios update, I would have hunted down a compatible vbios to flash.

Nah it'll be in a bigger non-descript box, that's how everything I've ever ordered from them has come

Usually the gfx card box in a brown box, and a bag of Haribo

Don't expect the Haribo, that seems to get eaten by whoever is packing the box, haven't seen any for ages

Yeah, bought a laptop from them earlier in the year and not a haribo to be seen

Aparently they are addressing the issue asap

I am really happy not a lot of people went with Palit 18

Post from Gibbo:
"We also shipped a very small amount of MSI today, tomorrow we expect a small amount of Palit cards."

I only ordered for the haribo though, going to reconsider my preorder now, see if coop have any stock!

Gibbo said small = less than 50

I seem to get them in small orders of couple hundred quid or less

Spend a grand... nowt.....

People having been a saying small is 50 very small is 10.

It’s moving guys.

 

[mjeccs]

According to the unofficial queue: 13

Zotac Trinity

Hoping that i may get it by the end of September, early October?

Time did you Order pal?

 

[Gavin Liddle]

Time did you Order pal?

Less than 50 is small, more than 50 is average, more than 100 is big and more than 1000 is a dream.

So I will use less, average, big and a dream to help give people an idea but were not allowed to post exact numbers.

First time I got an order with Haribo I assumed someone had dropped them in by accident before reading the forum post about it

Hey, I went with palit too. GamingPro OC to be precise, but I'm number 8 on the unofficial queue.

Also, this was mentioned many times before according to many different people, but Gibbo considers anything below 50 to be a small amount.

I honestly don't expect to be part of the people to be included in tomorrow's shipment, I've learnt to manage my expectations, especially after that debacle during the Nvidia website on launch.

Maybe the real shortage here is the Haribo, Cant send the cards until they restock the Haribo, otherwise people will revolt lol
