Report here from 15th July suggests production of Turing had ceased and Ampere had begun. If this report is accurate then nVidia has had at least two months to reach the stock levels currently seen. It wouldn't be the first launch where yields or other component supply has gone awry but it seems that the volumes which might normally be expected simply are not being produced, and that supply is going to be limited for some time to come.

I'm not sure I believe nVidias statement that yields are good and production is in full swing when all the evidence points to the opposite being the case.

I came to that conclusion too. I'll see if these MCM rumours are true and if Intel can get anything out in a reasonable timeframe.

Same, i'll give it till early November. Still got myself in the queue but can always get a stand in card while i wait i guess.

i see OC have whacked £100 on the price of the MSI 3090 Gaming Trio in the last hour.

Don't worry, when the pound recovers they'll knock off £200 from the price.

Even if yields were poor, they wouldn't tell you. Gotta keep that hype train going and take as much away from AMD as possible. Imagine being told you wouldn't be getting anything till next year, im sure a lot of people would cancel pre orders and flip to AMD pending on how they perform.

Well its always a good indicator of which ones they actually have stock of, the ones which are going up in price

so from maybe 1 card in stock to maybe 2 in stock?

Something like that. Gibbo has already said that he doesnt have stock for all cards and the one he has are single digit stock. I bet you the ones which change price today are the ones he does actually have stock in (albeit small stock)

That's an astute observation, they'll be lucky to gouge anyone from up north

I don't think I've ever pre-ordered something without knowing expected date. but there we go.

Fed up of fighting against the instant sell outs everywhere else as soon as stock is loaded.

Pre-ordering a card hopefully secures me actually getting one at some point.

 

[Throbin Hood]

Still no stock news of the Palit OC? Understand there was a delivery start of the week but daaaamnn, 9th in queue.

 

[Oldfart]

I suppose when our shiny 3080 cards finally arrive then suddenly everyone will be dissatisfied with their 1440p monitors...

 

[LordOfBeyond]

Costs 110% more, not half. Half would be £1000.

Yes you are right, it costs twice as much. Oh dear. I dont know why I have thought it cost 1000. Thanks for correcting me.

 

[LordOfBeyond]

I hope they will have 3000 TUFs on next shipment. Unlikely though.

Are you getting one? I was so tempted last night but the wifey talked me out of it lol. Her exact words were "Why on earth would you pay that much for something that gives only 10-15% extra performance?", albeit she had been reading my left open ocuk forum page lol.

 

[Jeeva]

iS oCuk CREATING A woops caps official queue checker?

There have been rumours, but I hear Gibbo is putting off releasing it every time someone pings him about it.

hahahaha suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, much like gas and petrol prices that jump up extremally fast but take ages to come back down. its all bs now especially the past week where 2-3% drop in dollar v pound ends up over 10% on some cards.

 

[Jay85]

A competitor is meant to be getting them in between the 28th and the 2nd so i expect ocuk would be the same as well. Again small amounts so around 50 or less.

Well, they better pull their finger out, because time is ticking. The closer we get to another launch, the more refunds and grief for the retailers. Maybe that's what they need because they just can't supply the demand.
