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

[ceekay]

Apparently the ASUS TUF has never officially released so on the 28th we should have the first shipment of the OC variant.

If this is the actual info, then, well, I can wait until Monday and hope for the best.

O.C: Gotta have a clue how many people have ordered each card. And if they are first come first serve it shouldn't be to hard to pop a spreadsheet together to detail where people are in the queue.

This cloak and dagger stuff gets my goat, ****** are the same as are scan.

Like so many others sold my gpu and now wondering what's gonna come first the 3080 or a vaccine for Corona....

There is no law to state how often............but common courtesy to their customers is another matter

Everyone is entitled to order and wait but I don't believe for one moment customers are going to be happy waiting well in to next year for a card. this could have been avoided if OC set a limit

 

[Gabagool]

Hopefully ASUS ships for early upcoming week, preordered since the 18th. Stores in New York like B&H and Microcenter have lines outside every day so far

Where did gigabyte say this?

Basically, be it OC's fault or nVidia's fault... There are hundreds if nit thousands of very unhappy customers.

OC and Gibbo are being extremely vague.
Againt be it their fault or the Card makers fault.
But people have spent hundreds on these cards, OC probably clocked over 10 million in payments. All sitting in their bank getting a nice bit of interest... And they have shipped basically a fraction of orders and given no queue system as yet, as was promised.

None refund deposits should have been the preorder, and final full payment made once card in stock, before shipping. If no payments made, card offered to next person.

As of me typing this, there has again been no more info from Gibbo or the team.

Will I cancel, depends on where I am in the queue. Much like a lot of people.
Will I use OC again? Never.

An export flatfile of the order number, product name and customer could be imported and transformed in excel via power query into queue calculation tables.
Just sepearate each item name into a new table or create some conditional flag columns in m/pql code.

It's all subjective here but I'm not sure I agree. In this case, we have orders with a place in the queue and if you don't *need* the money now (and have disposable enough to shop elsewhere), the best move is to keep the pre-order and look elsewhere (not places doing pre-orders, the places that are only showing when stock is actually in). When you secure an order and are given information on dispatch dates or see the dispatch, then cancel this one.

That's my thinking anyway. At the moment, there's really no way at all to know if/when the item will be shipped. But what I do know is that when they start shipping, I'm ahead of anyone that orders on that day. I still have access to the places that ship only from stock. So, I'll order from there if I'm lucky enough to see it available.

Yeah, I think you are right. I'll bag an FE if I get the chance. I'm certainly not doing another pre-order of another card and wasting OCUK's time (or the competitions time).
I think stock will always be drip fed, as there are so many multiple orders that will end up being cancelled. I get why people do it, but it will just slow the process down.

 

[jasonsony735]

I got my second email today at 14.00 - 32 hours after the order! Now says processing.

So pleased as I can now cancel my AIB order from the bunch of scammers (OCUK and Scam) that are taking pre-orders and money without ever being able to fulfill them.

Wish everyone else luck on their hunt too.

Good to hear who did you order with ? just first letter will give me idea

If you preordered a day after official release (release..... yeah, right), then your in for a fairly long wait I’d say. Depending on card model, of course. The unofficial counter seems to list orders past 17:30 on the 17th as 1000+ in the queue for the TUF.

It was direct from NVIDIA. I'm on nights and checked the store just before I got in the car to go home and fortunately saw the FE was in stock.

Absolutely agree, and even more maddening when you see that Gibbo has only been posting to the stock market forums to say how well his investments are going - while OCUK have all our money and we're over a barrel. I'll keep my place in the queue but because I have to until something better comes along.

I Gave up this morning and cancelled my MSI Gaming. So 1 less fot the queue. Im getting it from somewhere else instead. So £800 back in my pocket for a little while

You two realise that unless you actually got stock on minute one you'd be having the same experience anywhere else?

 

[CrunchMan84]

It's awful that the Gaming X Trio card seems to be getting no updates, the ETA that showed 18th Sep is the only reason I chose that card...

Yes same here

 

[psycho_t]

So now buying CG also need some luck

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/izhpvs/the_possible_reason_for_crashes_and_instabilities/

Interesting article, and yes luck for sure. If you look at all the store shots of any card where the rear of the chip isn't covered by the backplate, you can see they all used 6 POSCAPS originally, including the TUF which the author actually singles out as a card using MLCCs only.

Looks like only early adopters will be (potentially) getting screwed over by this, as clearly AIBs have already revised their boards to avoid 6 POSCAP designs since those promotional pictures were taken. For anyone in the queue, this is probably something to be thankful for.

 

[cdtjuk]

Yes same here

thats why i cancelled, i was 2000 odd number in the queue, no info released

Discord channel with a bot that spams when Founders Editions come in stock if anyone's interested.

Also has some spicy memes for good measure.

i might cancel my Msi trio order also, i see no hope. No new news. I should go with Palit.
People got it already even they ordered after me. And queue No does not mean any ****, if MSI dont send any Card out.
i will try to order somewhere else Zotac or palit and see if i get lucky.
