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

Most online businesses stayed open, did Amazon etc, close during the last lock down?

no, but they didn’t tape-off large sections of the supermarkets last time either but Wales decided to do so this time, so who knows. Hence the question about a statement from OC, although clearly they can’t give a statement when at the moment its only rumours in the press. Definitely can’t hold OC responsible for this particular issue
 
Just managed to order a 3080 from a competitor, with a guaranteed date of 20th November, they only had five available.

I'm 320 in the queue for a gigabyte so I guess that may come first, will cancel which ever doesn't arrive first.
 
It would suit OC to lock down, give them time, plus hold on to your cash that little bit longer ;) Take my advice, get out now :) You honestly have a much better chance of getting one elsewhere now anyway :)

Don't say I didn't warn ya ;)

Even if OCUK suddenly got 10,000 in stock, they will not get another order from me, ever!

You do realise OCUK don't just sell graphics cards? And that all the other tech sat on their shelves is almost as bad as a greengrocer for aging and going past its sell by date?

Yeah, I took that advice. Fortunately the FE had something to do with that this week :)
As beautiful as the FE is to look at, it all I'm doing at the moment. I was waiting until the 5th Nov to buy new CPU with ram and mobo as I'm currently rocking an 8 year old PC. With another lockdown depending, maybe I should just buy a 3700x now and be done with it!
 
Deliveries were still ongoing throughout. If anything they rose in frequency during lockdown. Certainly won't do it on the run up to Christmas.
Yeah, they will be able to keep going...supply and delivery could take a hit though. Very very small amount will probably be the new terminology.

Ok we have got your point, I take it you will no longer be using the forums paid for by OCUK? Or is that a different set of morals ?

Yes but that is in a open public space, did Amazon continue to deliver in Wales during the same time period...
 
Hmm... It’s almost a week since ordering gpu and still no message from ocUK regarding my queue position, while others getting their updates...

at least they could let me know where I’m standing at all...
 
Not sure, you seem to want to hang around? Where would you go?

I didn't know you had to like the shop to use the forums?

Is buying something from the shop going to be a prerequisite for using the forums from now on then?
 
Honestly. If there is another ridiculous lockdown and OC is forced to close for a period, the last thing I would want if for them to be sat there with 700 quid of my money for a product I may never receive

Not sure that this queue would notice if OC shut down for a while. They still wouldn't send out and cards or communicate with us, lockdown or not. Business as usual.
