*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

Unfortunately, I got the final messages through this morning - both Nvidia & ASUS cannot help because the promotion eligibility is valid only between Nvidia and the Retailer / E-tailer. This means that since Overclockers received 1000 codes, that's all they will get and can't get any more. Simply if I wanted a code, I should have purchased a 3080 back on the 17th of Sept and hope that I was within the first 1000 to receive a code. There's no other way to obtain one at all which sucks.

Nvidia Customer Care stated this:



Also directly via the Site Administrator on the ASUS ROG forums;



So, we're all **** out of luck basically. It wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't roughly £140 worth of freebies.
Thanks for checking anyway. Would have been nice to get a free game.
Might try the rate my gear ASUS promotion and can then use the £25 towards watchdogs!
 
It's now 1 month since the 3090 released. And there is still no stock, anywhere. That's pretty shocking to be honest. Jensen's comment about "Pascal owners can now upgrade" is pretty much hollow at this point.

Still, it gives fence-sitters like me opportunity to just keep sitting on the fence.
 
EKWB responded to my ticket.....they expect it to ship on the 13th Nov now.

They also wont ship the rest of the order without me paying shipping twice, as neither part of the order will be over the 250 euro threshold for free delivery......even though it's them who have delayed my order by over a month :rolleyes:

That's crazy, my order end up being £330 so got free shipping and I cannot split it as need everything together to fit so am good with just one order as am running two loops. When I ordered it was showing that water block will be dispatch by end of month so look like I got into the list for those batch. But let's see if it actually arrive on 5th Nov. Am ok if it's delayed a bit as I can still run Strix without it til it arrive.

yeah using Razer 011 case - minimal tubing in main chamber two pumps at other chamber, will upload the photos once got everything fitted together. What case are you using?

yeah my order was £320. unfortunately this is for my new build and it has bits in i need for the CPU loop which I could at least be getting on with until the GPU's turn up.
 
just to let the people know...

don't buy a 2x8pin card.

that inc the tuff.

get a 420/450watt power limit card only.
these things crave the power and are very very limited.
 
I didn't get an email update for the TUF OC today either...maybe they only send one per week at all? My last update was Tuesday, I believe they despatched some that day.
It should be on movement of queue number from dispatching cards to customers but not cancellations & every Friday no matter what from what I can tell.

Been a very disappointing week news wise really. Was expecting weekly refresh, no matter how small, so to miss a week this early on in the cycle is really disheartening
 
Nvidia seriously underestimated the demand for these 30XX series cards. Hopefully they don't ramp up production too much and it effect reliability/quality
 
I called Zotac, EU regarding promo codes, and they don't have any either they are all distributed by nvidia. The guy i talked to asked how my card was doing, and I told him the stats. and he was amazed that I was getting 1980-2005 mhz boost. I am quite happy I went with Zotac now.
