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

[North UK]

How long does it take to cancel orders on here? Sent a request last night to cancel and still no reply, emailed a competitor to cancel an order and it was done in an hour.

Some cards come factory OC'd and some are just gpu boosting and causing it to happen. Its not hard to downclock it yourself to stop the issue from occuring, in fact if you want to save electricity theres guides to undervolt it 100 watts and you only lose 3~5 fps.

I've ordered the Gigabyte Eagle which isn't factory overclocked so im thinking im going to be okay!

Sorry guys, just found this thread. Anything on stock for the Gigabyte Vision?

 

[opethdisciple]

Losing out on all that sweet sweet interest brother..

Probably lost out on what, 5p already? Haha

Have you received your card?

 

[LordOfBeyond]

I cancelled my MSI card on the weekend, come Monday I got the refund by 10am so they seem pretty quick. Decided to switch out to the Asus Strix OC. According to unofficial queue I'm in first place, if that's anywhere near accurate then I'm a happy boy.

How big is overcklockers warehouse. I am just trying to imagine 20000 cards in a warehouse, if I am 2528th in a queue and there are 20 type of cards, some more or less popular, I am assuming 20k cards gonna have to come at some point to their place. Can they even fit 2000 cards, let alone 20000 ? Bonkers.

How is that possible that you are first? Surely more people ordered before you. Well done anyway.

Anyone cancelled their ASUS TUF orders recently?

Just decided to Cancel my TUF OC. Think I'm gonna see what AMD can do then decide between that or NVIDIA when stock is available (Hopefully they don't decide to keep putting the prices up)

 

[Matthew fox]

Decided to cancel my zotac trinity order, I was 24th in the un official queue, the lack of info swayed it for me,

So probably bumped up a fair few 1 spot.

I didnt know if i would be waiting a week or months. Decided to wait for the founders as that was the card I wanted originally,

Plus this way I can get the new ryzen cpus and see what amd has to offer.

 

[LordOfBeyond]

Where is my lovely Asus TUF? Are you cold on a production line? Waiting for good warm home? Oh my TUF please come to me.........

 

[Naeluck]

Thread gets funnier everyday wouldn't be surprised if once the queue calc is done it gets locked and they throw away the key . OC are not holding anybody's money hostage its easier right now to get a refund than it was to purchase the card at release on the site. Neither is anybody 'over a barrel' you can wait, change and order from a competitor or spam f5 again on nvidias marketplace.

Calm down.

 

[DickieSharpe]

Has anyone ordered the Zotac amp extreme holo? Any idea how many orders there are for this card?

 

[BubsonHD]

Well it is the unofficial tracker, but hey who's knows.. it was a more expensive card and wasn't available as soon as others so maybe people held off went for something else or cancelled. Going to assume the worst though. Fingers crossed!

There's that one guy who said he ordered a Palit the day before and got it yesterday. I'm wondering if that's really the case with Palit atm.

Untrue, I ordered Palit OC t 3.15ish on the 17th after battling with the site to get the order through and still not shipped

 

[Goosy]

There's a bloody pandemic going on and people still can't wait a month or two (or seven) for a god damn GPU. Meanwhile I'm here waiting for people to stop being idiots and social distance.

Here in the UK, at least, you can have a "Suggested" retail price, set by the manufacturer, but it is up to each retailer to decide what price to actually sell at. There is no "set" price that something has to be sold at, so there is no 'breaking of retail price' happening.

And no, I didn't get my card at the original list price, it had gone up by the time I ordered. Not as much as the price is now, but I accepted that it was the price I paid for getting on the waiting list on launch day.

Gibbo has to gauge his retail price off less than accurate stock/supply forecasts while balancing the pricing/availability he may get 2 weeks-months down the line when those cards for those pre-orders come into stock.

He has to allow for 1.5% volatility in £ value without any big shocks (HELLO BREXIT) to the market. In any case the market exists for a reason - the market (you guys, our customers) are welcome to buy the product from another reseller if they think their price/availability/service, etc. is better.

As enthusiasts ourselves we try to play this game for the betterment of our customers and ourselves. We know what this game is like having played it ourselves, both sides of the checkout.

To be perfectly honest, we don't care overly if Overclockers make more or less profit than another reseller, as long as we make enough to keep OCUK going, pay our colleagues, continue to do what we do, and keep customers are happy.

Supplying the PC gamer/enthusiast market with the best hardware, service and support is what keeps us up at night.

We are always looking to engage and listen with our customers, YOU GUYS! If you want us to do anything better then let us know here or via webnotes. We are always watching and listening!

Spoiler: Well Chris T from Customer Services is always watching...

We'll always try and meet your expectations and if not let you know why we can't, unlike some faceless corporations out there.

I've answered a few hundred webnotes since last week from customers about their 3080 orders (and I don't even look after graphics cards!). Each time I've not just done the minimum possible but tried to explain our actions and do what I can to make people happy.

If you reach out to us whether in sales, RMA, purchasing, via webnotes, or here on the forums we will always try and get back to you!

Nik, we just want to know the official wait list.
Its not too much to ask.
I was told yesterday (by some miserable sounding guy in CS) it would be posted by Sunday...

 

[Parsley]

How about you take money on dispatch rather than straight away. That would be a good start.

Hello, just ordered Gigabyte RTX3080 with guaranteed delivery date 10.10.20... Just want to know if it is a regular delay or something goes wrong? I am from London, but ordered in Netherlands at xmindstore d0t c0m, I have checked them for their genuine status, but have never ordered with them before, and now I am just confused about the delivery period... please calm me down...

I am not sure if it is fraud. It says, they have Evga is on stock which is hard to beleive.
