Most competitors have stopped taking preorders now as stock is tiny across the board and arrives in small quantities. You've chosen one of the more popular cards so the wait will be even longer. I'm currently GPU-less now so you're doing better than me!

this is how big a 40ft container is you can easily fit 3000 inside full to the brim without pallets, you can fit 1500 portable cleaning machines inside without pallets and they are triple the dimensions of the average gpu box, but on pallets of course you could scrape up to 20 pallets worth, which then again depends on the height they stack the gpus

I went to a container quote shipping web page, and they just don't want to quote for anything of that kind of value, and it's even worse with the things being completely ruined if even a little sea water gets near them. The risk of the things being lost at sea is another factor with a surprising number of containers failing to reach the intended destination.

While an EU distributor might appreciate these stock volumes retailers couldn't handle them, remember this would be just one brand of card.

Very true airfreight or freight train I would imagine being their 1st choice but I have no clue of how many they can transport with that type of logistic service

Surely, many on here in +100 queue positions must be looking towards AMD's GPU launch and comparative performance/pricing by now, it's that close, certainly with no guaranteed 3080s being despatched in time - then the possibility of 20Gb variants from NVIDIA of same 3080s pre xmas - while still holding the option of cancelling with OC... Think it would be foolish not to.
All the time mindful of the extremely poor 30 series launch (undeniable IMO)
Just my 2p - read in to what you will...
 
I am really not happy how this has been handled at all. I ordered my Ventus as it said in stock the following day. I have been emailed saying I am 525 in the queue and by the looks of how little stock they seem to be getting in, I'll be lucky to recieve the goods I paid full price for this year. Think I am just going to cancel and wait on the 3080Ti, I already had to rebuy the same GPU I sold before the 3080 launch because I stupidly thought I'd be able to get one.

I'm in same boat but held off on the 3080 as was hoping the 3090 would be a decent step up. Given Nvidia held off on benchmarks until release day and we all saw only 10-20% for x2 the cost it wasn't a good deal. I've returned to look at the 3080 and find queues running into 1000's on the preferred cards. So I've resigned to just check other vendors now and skip queues altogether. The paper launch has lead to much frustration on here. Money taken up front with poor comms and no ETA. Its all rather sketchy. Good luck to those far up the queues but anyone into the hundreds know it'll probably be 2021 before any decent stock levels land.

Wonder if stock is so bad cause of prep for the 20gb lot haha doubt it but do wonder...

I'm so far up the list, either I get my card before these and change over or I get the other card first. Either way kinda win win
