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

I highly doubt this, that's a lot more work for them with very little additional return, and if people found out they were doing it, then there would be a lot of fallout. I think the vagueness more likely comes from their suppliers not knowing themselves and a lot of this being kind of just in time shipping/delivery. The other thing is that I think the amounts are so small initially that once people see the lack of movement and extrapolate their position in the queue, they're more likely to cancel. If you wait and an entire week and find out only 2-3 cards shipped out to customers and you're say 500th in queue, you're more likely to just refund.

The vagueness would be removed when they took receipt of the stock - and I can't believe they don't know what they are being sent until it arrives. When it's shipped to them, they will be informed of the package manifest. But I will agree that they aren't making these numbers visible because they know it will impact the cancellations - however, that's shady IMO, and people here are figuring out the numbers - and the supposed vague numbers still don't marry up with their own queue - some lower numbered queue customers still haven't had their cards after a 'small' shipment.

All 100 speculation on my part of course - but that's what happens when you don't get good, consistent information and purposefully vague numbers/responses.

They'll have been pumping out silicon for the consoles for a long time by now. I think there will be a shortage as well but not because of the consoles.

Well you can't even pre order them anywhere in the UK right now so we know for a fact that they have a supply issue and likely will do in the lead up to Xmas since demand for these for Xmas presents will be through the roof. Many "gamers" will also order both consoles so there will be a lot of crossover as well. I feel like there has been a lot of blame on Nvidia for the 3080 release but they're mostly just working with the real world constraints of manufacturing, something I don't see AMD being free from.

So, they don't have any gigabyte eagles here but I've seen a few sold elsewhere and people have them this for this week. So evidently OCUK has lied about being in the best position.

While stocks are short at the moment everywhere, it doesn't mean OCUK won't have a larger piece of the pie when the shipments start to arrive.
I'm not saying that's the case, but it is possible. We probably will be able to make a better judgement on that in 2-3 weeks time.

That's not necessarily a silicon shortage causing a console shortage. We have no idea what part of the supply chain is holding it up. It could be as simple as a slow down in assembly due to Covid.

FYI there was a comment a few pages back about #48 Ventus being reported as shipped.

I kept my 2070S just in case there was a delay in the 3080's. Glad I did, got a mate looking to buy it off me once I get the 3080 still and hes in no rush to have that off me. So as much as im a lil peeved by the delay its just nothing OcUK can help so im fine with waiting.

Kept my 2070S to for the same thinking..As much as i hate waiting i still want my new toy lol
 
Was browsing around and on competitors website Asus Strix OC already have first review. So at least one SRTIX has come to UK :D But in general would be nice to hear if at least few STRIX cards has been shipped, so could know if the queue is moving or still nothing.

Or they are being put into pre-builds and sold ahead of those waiting in the 'Card only' queues. I can't think of another reason why they are being so vague with the shipment volumes.

They have now changed the prebuilds with 'Build Stock' stated on the GPU section. Who knew a couple of words could make a wrong right :)

Can you change my error, from a 3090 to 3080 on there please?
 
I stupidly ordered the Asus TUF (non OC) which hasn't shipped any according to the shipment thread. Would I be better cancelling and spending the little bit more for the OC or another brand with less of a queue? I am aware that due to my late nature of ordering I likely won't see my order this year but every little helps.

Also new here, checked all my emails but found no indication of any queue position, where would I find that?

But they have started arriving, I am saying as I know other people who got that card the same day or after me and have it. People got shipped it yesterday and today but on here there was no activity.

They should email you with a position at some point... I think PNY, Inno, a few other of the gigabyte cards aren't as popular as the other cards. Could be wrong though
