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

[Yaayuh!]

It's for work, we're a video production company.

OcUK Forum: "Why are you going to spend so much money on graphics cards?!"
Russinating: "Mouldy sandwiches"

 

[Neon]

Any news on next Zotac delivery? I heard it may be awhile apparently amazon Germany sold a crap ton and can’t keep up with orders, I’m just wondering if it will affect OC supplies

 

[Greebo]

Same boat where I ordered the non-OC, I was lucky to even be able to order it with the site not really loading properly so decided to pull the trigger on it. Find it weird Asus launch the OC Strix first rather than non-OC but same time it is their "premium" card.

It's obvious isn't it? They are exactly the same card. Load oc bios, test it for advertised clocks, if it passes put it in an oc box and sell it to the 30000 people waiting for one. Why put it in a none oc box and get less money for it?

Bummer. Other retailers seem to not have such a cap (when in stock). I get it but equally 4 isn't exactly wholesale quantities and I'm just going to order 4 when able. Happy to sit at the back of the queue if needed, just can't be bothered to be checking stock every day and re-ordering 4 times when able!

I guess it's impossible for them to discern who are scalpers or who genuinely need multiple cards

I ordered an EVGA from another retailer as a backup to my OCUK order. I think if what everyone is saying is correct about EVGA, I wont buy any of their cards again.

Any news on the official queue calculator?

Do we have any idea of stock levels of 3090 from oc ? At £1500 we shouldn’t be seeing no where near the demand the 3080 did last week... any tips on Thur so I can bag myself one

Gibbo says he's not going to say which ones he had stock off and all will say pre order. The o es he does have stock off he only has single digit quantities so it will be a pleasant surprise if when you pre order you then get an instant dispatch email as you were one of the lucky few.

The way he is talking I reckon only about 6 of us are going to get a card on Thursday.

Small batch got sent out last night I believe, but @Gibbo said that a small amount of cards are coming In and being sent out everyday whether that's just Zotac cards or some different cards who knows

Nvidia has apologized for the RTX 3080 GPU preorder fiasco, which saw the highly desirable graphics card sold out pretty much everywhere. “We were not prepared for this level, nor were our partners,” Nvidia writes in a new FAQ. “We apologize for this.”

I am seeing if I can switch from the non OC to the OC Strix while paying the difference and still keeping my place in the queue as if I ordered the OC Strix at 15:22 17th September, the time I ordered the non OC... Wonder if they will let me

Let me know mate I am also considering this

Yep, from what he said it doesn't look good for 3090 stock. I was considering trying to pick one up, but double the price for what is rumoured to be a 20% performance increase is a mugs game.

The zotac one will be tons of fake or scalp orders though, not to mention lots of cancellations due to how bad those zotac cards are (i cancelled mine for that reason).

 

[Nickoglas]

I just want my weak stock RTX 3080 AsusTUF . I think I must be in next year allocation. How quickly I will get a refund from overcklockers if stock appears somewhere else? Thanks.

On Thursday I accidentally ordered the same card twice as I wasn’t sure the first order had gone through.
Cancelled duplicate order Friday and got my money back in my account today so I’d say 3-5 working days

How bad? That’s a bit extreme.

 

[Po|ygon]

Gibbo said that OC Strix is coming end of this week to OCUK

Im hoping so

 

[Whiff30812]

How bad? That’s a bit extreme.

Very extreme... But let them carry on thinking that do they cancel..

I guess so mate.

thats good though the suspense is killing me I live in this forum since I ordered lol wonder how many cards per delivery?

Are they really that bad I heard there’s only like a 2% difference between the Zotac and MSI

One scalper managed to get 47 cards from Nvidia's official shop on launch day, and I imagine scalpers weren't just targeting that specific storefront...
