Bad News if you ordered the Rog Strix 3080 OC

this info should have definitely been shared by OC openly to its paying customers rather than a forum member who has purchased one these cards chasing them and sat on the phone waiting for someone to actually answer for half a hour to share this info with ppl that have paid for these cards with their hard earned money.
 
Another site has them coming on the 6th November, maybe overclockers will get some too. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/09/18/heres-where-you-can-actually-buy-an-rtx-3080-right-now/ We have a long time to wait for cards.

The only stock is on ebay with a massive markups. Example https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-ROG-S...383639?hash=item4db55eff57:g:aAgAAOSw8ItfiL9B US $1,400.00 or £1,084.56 this has 5 days left and will be stupid high priced in no time.
Delivery:Estimated between Fri. Nov. 6 and Fri. Nov. 13

Just got to wait, no choice.

One big UK retailer has managed a handy page dedicated to 3080 and 3090 stock. You can see how many orders per model - very useful. Here, too busy counting all the £M's in the pre-order account.

Per model or per brand? I could only find somewhere showing the latter. Did you mean somewhere other than the barcode place?
 
I don't know whats worse... being in a massive queue with small amounts of stock coming in or low in a small-ish queue but the product is apparently not even being produced!
Certainly seems to be an increase in people receiving cards in their Facebook group at least so must be a bit of movement.

However...People don't even discuss the Non-OC version anymore so I've resigned to trying my luck on a 3070 (from somewhere else!) or failing that a 2070/80/80ti if I can get a decent price and just wait.
 
Rumor is that Nvidia is holding back to see what AMD reveals before either flooding the market or continuing to price gouge/trickle them out, so you may well find 600 in the queue isn't very much if AMD delivers.
 
That's extremely stupid move if true. Not only people are pi**ed at NV, but some store getting their reputation ripped to shreds... Not to mention those who are struggling financially due to beer bug and this kind of launch would help them survive if dealt properly by the distributors.

Also why on earth I would buy anything from Nvidia ever again? Let say I need urgently few GPU for rendering and there are none avaible. Later on I finds that Nvidia was holding back and hurting my project and my company financially, because I had to render on inefficient CPUs & older gen GPU and all this just for what? To make a jab at AMD?
This is ridiculous...

If AMD doesn't deliver they can pretty much do what they want, even if it sets the internet ablaze, they have ~80% share of the GPU market already.

Intel got away with it for ages until Ryzen.
 
Ok, great we can Intel has **** tons of shady practice history (bribes, false flag within its own compiler to execute slower code on AMD counterparts, same goes to their proprietary math library and some much more), but their fu*k up with new 10 & 7 nm node made them vulnerable to the point that they have to drop a huge chunk of thier profit margin from HEDT and degrade/demote i7 (4c/8t) to i3 or even pentium/celeron position and price point.
AMD scored some of the best deals for HPC with MS (Azure, console 2nd gen in a row) Google (Stadia both CPU & GPU) Amazon (AWS), Netflix (CPU & GPU) Nvidia(! - DGX A100 (which is Ampere based on TSMC 7NM) AI System), few super computer contracts (Lawrence Livermore To Surpass 2 Exaflops) and much more - that's pretty much why TSMC doesn't take more contracts. Nvidia tried to strong arm them by cutting deal with Samsung, but everyone knows that their node is worthless therefore most of their contractors dropped them.

Do you really think that Nvidia should give a AMD room to breathe? Look what happen to Intel,it is still on top in gaming and mobile just because AMD is unable to supply OEM with sufficient amount of CPU & APUs otherwise Intel would be completely pushed away, maybe not entirely, but AMD would regain a significant portion of market share. Intel is really lucky that they have their own fabs which still manages to spit out enough chips in 14nm(++).

Nvidia should flood market with their product before AMD, because AMD doesn't need a GPU to compete with 3090, it's gonna be enough if they get close to or between 3080 and 3090 with reasonable price tag. More over AMD has a really good chance to has lesser problems with supply due to fact that they have stopped production of 1st gen NAVI chips while ago and TSMC yields for AMD chips is around 80% chips with no defects.

This strategy is utter nonsense - we have a great product which we won't deliver (and sell for inflated price (which would greatly impact our gross profit margin) since we face no competition) because we're waiting for our competitor to possibly make a fool out of themselves.

The only thing Jensen cares about is the shareholders (Q4 earnings).

Exactly. The behaviour here is akin to addiction and OCUK know it. It works in their favour not to post any queue info so long as the pre-orders keep flowing in. They keep making money, people will complain bitterly and then do it all over again when the 4000 series arrive :rolleyes:
