one thing ive noticed

OCUK are taking preorders even though they have no stock

Good for business, all that cash coming in, earning interest, securing a high rate of sales

But i dont see anyone else doing this, like scam or Jungle or other competitors, they simply have removed the preorder and buy button

No wonder OCUK have a backlog of 7000 30 series cards


Also why is OCUK not offering a free game with their 3080s? i cant remember seeing this on my preorder

You was probably late to the party. My 3080 has it.

The ability to fulfil the orders depends upon the board partners ability to provide us with enough stock.

We haven't yet had this info to be able to inform our customers about when we'll be be able to fulfill their orders.

This is the kind of transparency people have been wanting all along, it might not be what we want to hear but it's better than nothing.

Although, I have to ask, how have your direct competitors managed to provide dates for incoming stock?

I keep hearing how OCUK get the largest amount of stock, surely if that's the case then the board partners would be giving you stock information ahead of other companies?

Watch and tell me where u see them cheap MLCC there.... I see 6 expensive ones

I think you will find the MLCC are the expensive groups of small caps the Cheap ones are the six single blocks ie POScaps.

From report

large-area POSCAPs (Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors) are used (marked in red), or rather the somewhat more expensive MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor). The latter are smaller and have to be grouped for a higher capacity.

According to the list and specifications of Nvidia, both are possible. In terms of quality, however, good MLCCs are better able to filter the very high frequency components in particular. In the end, this is simple practical knowledge, which only often enough collides with the world view of a financial controller. If one searches the forums, it seems that the Zotac Trinity is particularly affected when it comes to instabilities starting at certain boost clock rates from around 2010 MHz. A feat, because Zotac is relying on a total of six cheaper POSCAPs."

Thanks for the info, will have to wait and see which cards are using the cheaper POSCAPS in this case then. I'd hope that even if other cards are using POSCAPS that they are good quality and don't effect performance, that's all I care about :)

Reports on Redit (Jay has just posted a video about it) that the ones with the cheap POSCAPS are crashing to desktop when gaming as they cannot maintain the boost speeds. Sounds liker the only fix is a VBios update reducing the boost levels. Problem seems to be AIBS cutting corners
 
Well seems the Gigibyte eagle OC uses the 6 POSCAPS that with the extended power connector which could be a problem on top ..not even got the card yet and things are not looking great ...
 
Hey guys anyone know of any competitors out of the UK that have any cards available and can deliver soon? I have ordered a MSI card from OCuk but when I checked my supposed queue position it was over 4000.

Yeah its not looking good.. getting gimped is not a good thing at all ...
 
So the MSI gaming X trio has 5 of the cheaper caps and then one of the more expensive row of 6 smaller ones. This isnt on the same level as the FE or the Asus TUF but is potentially fine as its not all 6 cheap caps?

Thanks.

As you can imagine, we don't want to annoy and upset our customers, we'd prefer to be able to ship everyone exactly what they ordered!

However things don't go perfectly all the time, but rest assured we are all working our asses off to get you guys what you want!

I know there’s a lot of disharmony on here at the minute, but honestly, we do appreciate all your hard work. You obviously get everyone’s frustrations and that is very much appreciated. All we ask is for some communication and you’ve done that tonight, so thank you. Please just make sure we get some form of comms each day, doesn’t have to be mega news, just a “don’t worry guys, still working our arses off for you. Hoping to get a small delivery of x and y next week but we’ll confirm etc etc”. Hope things calm down for you (and pick up for us!) soon.

The real reason they gimped it compared to the FE. I wonder what the AMP cards are like in that regard

They had 1000 codes available. Those codes got sorted out pretty quick with the way the preorders happened. They're asking for more codes from Nvidia. If they'll get some, they'll attach them to the next-in-line preorder.

The problem is, with the scarcity of the cards worldwide, if the cards will arrive before the time to input the codes expire.
 
Someone needs to create a thread so all the cards can be Id which card uses what cap design...its certainly going to be interesting how this is going to be dealt with for each card going forward with bios updates..would not surprise me if the nvidia driver will be gimping things too which could effect all cards even with good cap designs ..
