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

[Zeed]

How worried would you be about the 220's on the Palit? (I don't plan on overclocking) so it shouldn't be an issue for me right?

Hmm would not be worried they fix too aggressive boost with drivers thats what the fix will be i'm sure. Silicone is pushed wayyy to far in my opinion stated boost on them cards is 1710mhz and some try boost pass 2000 and crash...
TBH I'd be more worried about ZOTAC cause whole pcb looks poor not just caps
The better VRM section is less filtering on them caps will be needed.

Hey guys, just joined the forum to check something - is it 100% confirmed that people will be able to jump across to whatever is in stock and reserve their previous queue place?

If that's the case I might cancel my preorder - tried to buy between 2 & 3pm but the site was down for me the whole time.

Ended up doing a preorder after 9pm when the kids were in bed, I was happy to wait, but if I'm not even going to hold my cr*p position for an ASUS TUF, I might as well throw in the towel and wait for a reference card.

Whats others thoughts? Anyone else in a similar situation?

The MSI card has a 5 and 1 layout. maybe its completely fine but ASUS looks better in this regards and the VRM is better. It was also a little cheaper so I got a little money back.

As for the queue, I asked and I keep my order time or I would have just cancelled and waited.

Updated images on some of the MSI websites around the world show the MSI GAMING X TRIO 3080 to now have 4+2MLC mate. Top before bottom after

We have a quote from a staff member a couple of days ago saying that isn't the case, but then a group of people who have call in and say they have been allowed to. So right now I think the answer is we really have no idea what is actually happening (as with most of the other issues people are complaining about, a little communication for OC would solve all of this, rather than leave us with "customer service told me x".

My suspicion is that customer service is letting people, but maybe missed a message that they shouldn't, and eventually will be told to stop.

It wouldn't be fair to let people switch orders and retain their queue position, that would make many pretty angry!

I already changed my card to an Asus TUF from a Ventus and never got the opportunity to keep my very low queue place from the Ventus to the TUF, so really butt hurt about this tbh, I would go back to my Ventus if I had realised at the time just how long its going to be to wait for the TUF.

Fingers crossed but I've still not seen any reviews.. which I'd have thought would be first before us minions get our hands on any.

I've seen a few reviews surfaced in this thread, though they may require Google translate

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Updates images show the MSI GAMING X TRIO 3080 to now have 4+2MLC mate.

Ok fair enough. I was just going off what the YouTube reviewers had tested. Of course I guess they were early cards off production line.

 

[OmniSnr]

I mentioned in an earlier post, I agree it's a little unfair but as the system is there that's what I'll use. Not sure if it's relevant but I did have a few other things in my basket too that are in stock, but won't ship til the card is too (which I'm fine with, as it's watercooling parts that will go with the card)

I had my email confirmation come through a few mins ago showing my new card, and still with the original order number/time. I will of course update tomorrow night if I was lucky enough to be in the earlier batch but I'm expecting even if I kept my queue position I'll probably be next weeks (whereas I would've been this week on the gigabyte)

Unlikely to be the case. What happens if someone reaches the head of the overall queue but the card he chose is unavailable- OC
are hardly going to halt deliveries of other cards until his arrives. If the purchaser is allowed to change cards and jump the queue
for that card we could end up with the situation of people jumping between cards like an impatient motorway driver...

there is a previous post ( see above ) showing that this is definitely happening. so either the chap who swapped orders is being given mis-information or everyone else is. To be clear, the guy that swapped has done nothing wrong, as the system allows him to do it, but OC should really not allow this practice. Its incredibly unfair on those waiting patiently(ish)

 

[partypug]

Guy literally just asked for order number then hung up the phone without saying thanks or goodbye. I was perfectly polite, just asked for a refund on a recent order. What a bunch of a$$holes.

Sorry about your vexing experience.

Having said that, I've just had the antithesis of it: extremely polite phone service, order cancelled post-haste.

To those holding out for their MSI Gaming X Trio order: have a queue bump!

I queried changing from zotac trinity to amp extreme before I cancelled my order entirely and was told I would retain my time in the new queue (which would probably put me at the top of it since the amp wasnt available on launch day). There was no mention of being put to the bottom

 

[SniperSmithy]

Yeah, I'm just going off the information I got from them.

Queue position is based on how you paid.

@Gibbo @NikTheSHNIK can we get confirmation on this please? I may have to cancel if this is true. Completely unfair.

It'd be quite time consuming if it was at all possible to administrate OCUK's end for people swapping around and expecting their queue place to be held. You makes your choice and you pays yer money. Swapping is cancelling one order and making a new one - back of the queue.

I haven't bought one by the way

I actually posted the wrong image stupid me. Here you can see these now have 4+2mlc

I still see 5+1 on the English site.

35-40 days usually

cheers pal

Anyone seen any different images for VENTUS cards too?

 

[cadmunkey]

i ordered 14.20 and still not got one. And I'm not bothered Mine goes underwater and will end up with hard mod for TDP limit increse. Gigabyte got 470s on the cards from what iw seen so all good. More worried about silicone lottery

14:20? exact same time as mine then, may the best man win

UK website doesn’t show this, and TBF I couldn’t clearly see it in the posted picture either. Plus its not unusual for websites to post the wrong picture. I would be amazed if they could change production that quickly ( it would probably require re-tooling on the production line I suspect, plus a price hike to cover the cost of the new parts - assuming they could get them that quickly ). Plus all the thousands of cards already being shipped will not be the new layout even it ot os real. Those ones will take a long time to get into circulation.

seems the problems only really appear if you want to overclock it anyway. so just stop fiddling and I’m sure you’ll/we’ll be ok.

 

[Del-Dredd]

Good shout, thanks for sharing, that puts me at ease a bit. Maybe those that have swapped have been wrongly informed?

Doubt it as the same practice has happen with previous cards launches.
