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

[Doppleganger]

That's your opinion, I'd prefer to be kept up to date even if it's 'no news today, we hope to have more info the day after tomorrow I'll update again then'

Exactly. No communication is just keeping people in limbo. I think most people would like to hear some news, even if it's bad news.

 

[Zeed]

To all the people telling us to stop asking for updates: No.

If this were ebay and someone had taken £700+ for a product then went completely silent for two weeks, all of you would be furious, including those telling us to shut up. Just because it's a big(ish) company and there are environmental factors at play here does not mean OC can't keep us updated. In fact, OC should be putting in greater effort to keep us informed precisely because of those environmental factors.

It's a cynical cash-grab.

Thank you for your input, but I will pull my neck back in when OC start showing me the respect I'm owed.

Respect is not OWNED its EARNED and You earned nothing. Feel free to cancel anf go moan somewhere else.

 

[joedeath332]

It also gives OcUK a bit of clout if they can say we've sold 7500 cards give us some bloody stock.

This could have some Truth in it.

 

[Zeed]

I dont see the point of a queue system unless OcUK know when and how many cards there getting each week/month

1 week Asus for instance could ship out 6 cards next week a month latter that could ship out 100 to OcUK

Point is to throw people a bone so they stop ringing OCUK asking where in queue they are and when they gonna get card.

 

[Salty22]

I was hoping to get a 3080 to pass my old card down to a rig im building for the kids for xmas but i guess ill just grab a cheap card to get their rig going and stick to my 1080ti til next year

 

[Beastlordius]

Sadly was informed there has been at least 1000 orders on the strix OC. So it might look like 2021 for some users on this card haha.

Damn, and there i thought going more expensive way will have less orders Well now just have to wait till we have the queue thing to check.

Hahaha try again.

I paid £709 for the respect I'm due. Please stop being rude.

 

[pandem0nium]

Without breaking rules, has anybody had a dispatch from the competitor who supposedly had MSI stock yesterday?

Nope. Processing still.

Tbh, I didn't really want to pay £100 more for a card with less less connectivity and no free game.

So I'm hoping my Eagle gets dispatched soon from OCUK.

 

[Dumphole]

Maybe in Hollywood but in the real world treating others respectfully is part of everyday mature interactions and relations.

Except this isn't Ebay... Its a preorder on a product which recieved massive, unexpected preorder success.

All you are owed is a product when its due in line with your position in the order queue. OC don't contol the distribution from manufacturers and are undoubtedly as eager to clear their backlog of preorders as much as you are to recieve your order. If you don't like it, cancel your order. Otherwise, just accept this product has been a huge success and others want it as much as you do. Its an unfortunate reality.

So just been on the phone to the guys over at OCUK, they said they are slowly going to send out emails for users queue base, but they are going from card to card doing it that way.

But said we should get it this week.

Sadly was informed there has been at least 1000 orders on the strix OC. So it might look like 2021 for some users on this card haha.

Not for some but for mostno big shipments till december of any brands afaik

He said owed, not owned. Nothing wrong with his vocabulary! @Rymix

 

[TopCatFCD]

You’re paying for a “pre-order”, have a look at Gibbos post. You can cancel at any time if you see stock elsewhere but they aren’t saying they’ve got stock and not shipping them...

Not sure why people are getting their panties in a twist

No panties twisted but don't like retailers selling something they've no hope in hell of actually supplying in good time, especially when taking full payment and ignoring everyone after.

 

[SeanH]

I put my order in on the 24th hahaha I'll see you next summer!

i put mine on the 26th when my order from elsewhere was cancelled, see you in 2077

 

[AmazingQuigley]

2 weeks today

 

[b0otneck]

I don't think emails will be coming out today.

 

[Zeed]

Hahaha try again.

Money does not earn or buy respect last time i checked.

Dont like u cant pay for respect as I said try buy it simewhere else.

 

[Rymix]

You seem nice. We must do lunch.

An unfortunate reality....correct. It's a very popular purchase in difficult circumstances. No one is arguing there.

I'm sure OC would love to get back to business as usual. But the much more unfortunate reality is the complete and utter lack of any service at all. We have a forum and a dedicated update thread....want to see how much customer service has been evident? Count the post since launch....

Having a forum is a very powerful tool...potentially. You can reach a lot of people at one time, providing updates en mass. Or ignore it and let it settle into the festering cesspool that is evident now.

No not as of yet.

 

[Harry Cunningham]

Put my order in on 17th September 16:56 for a Aorus Master. Assuming I'm getting it in 2021 too?
