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

[Demon_mkII]

You paid £905 for a 3080 is it really worth £240 more than an eagle oc, my wife was going to hit me with a frying pan when she saw the price of £660 for a gpu.

yes, the eagle looks horrible to me.

I pay for my own, I build as a sideline and that pays for my upgrades

also - new competitor preorders up again- same one

for me i'd probably pay that for an eagle oc atm so yep defo worth it if it gets it in my hands by friday which im sure it will. There's a lot of bells and whistles that most wont use but if you've got a glass side panel the lcd edge looks pretty nice tbh.

the extreme 3080 have just gone on that same site lmao!

no of course its not worth the extra money in terms of performance, but its better than paying scalpers the extra, plus my life hours waiting on a gpu i already have 650 tied up in with no eta. also it means i should be able to get a little more for my current gpu before the markets flooded again.

XTREMEs are in for 1k now, good luck

I was already at £720, plus postage. I also had a few other bits in my basket which I'll probably not re-order through OC, whole basket was a little over £800. So £105 for a stronger card sooner makes sense to me

So annoying. Got a notification fron stock informer saying 3080 was in stock from competitor. Was in a game so completely missed it. Out of stock

the extreme is up for grabs now

this is true also. the extra you get resale on current gpu for most will make it worthwhile as 3080s aren't common yet

i gotta admit i was tempted but i resisted the urge lmao. Im quite glad they did it that way around else id have gone with the extreme and i think the £100 for minimal difference is a stretch when you have the choice of both

 

[Demon_mkII]

annnnd they're gone

 

[Simon burgess]

Hey not knocking you for buying it good on you.

nah its not

 

[Demon_mkII]

nah its not

I think it lasted about 10 mins

 

[Bazz21uk]

I think it lasted about 10 mins

not even that for the extremes. the masters lasted slightly longer. Either way plenty of people still crying out for 3080s. at 1 point it said 140 people were buying lmao.

on those extremes there was no mention of the watchdogs code expiry either. the other cards state orders need to be dispatched by the 24th i think it said.

I wonder if it would be too much for them to still be handing out game codes on all their cards? that would just be the icing tbh

It is announced, not yet released. Maybe one months later for the first release

I clicked on link from stock informer and nothing happened

i suspect somebody higher pushed gibbo to show his face but now the pressure from above has died down and so has gibbo - not great really.


yep. £900 is nothing really when you think about it. I'm getting the card i actually wanted and not paying scalpers price - The aorus was always an expensive card due to edge lcd etc. Whats a few quid to have it sooner and not need to come on here daily

You may be right, but I hope not. WEAK.

it should take you to the competitors site at the correct section. Scroll down the list and its the card that has the finance options listed in blue. click that product and buy quickly. they never last long so its all about getting there quick and securing the card

 

[Mr Oblong]

Careful folks, mind how you go if you want to keep access to this forum.

Not judging anyone, just make sure you look out for your overall interests.

So I went there but I guess I was too late but what made me confused was that there was no longer an option to buy yet it was displaying a notice over 100 people are buying it now.. confusing

We're all hyped up and motivated, but losing posting privileges might come at a bad time for staying on top of your order here.

Like I said, no judgement.
