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

[John Harris]

So far today, I have seen Eagle stock in the rainforest in DE and UK - inflated prices compared to what I 'pre-ordered' for - but it's further proof that everyone is getting Gigabyte Eagle stock but OCUK.

@Gibbo @GIGA-Man - care to explain?

Or is it that everyone is getting OC's Eagle stock but us. That is the question.

That tells me nothing, knowing from my brother, romanian stores are selling models I haven't seen here weekly since launch day, even if it's small number, so each region with it's delivery( e.g. balcan region is getting supplied from czech republic). But point is we are definitely not getting our cards soon, either Inno's fault or oc.uk, probably both, but oc.uk shipped 3080x2 and some 3090 as well. Now we have no news why more than apple, but it's impossible not to find some room as I believe it's impossible they got everything. I don't mind waiting, but I would like to know why. At least with KFA we know that the manufacturer told they are focusing all 3080 on Asia, and will only send limited 3070 and 3090 in europe, but we don't have even that info to work on.

Ah, about that 'Apple' post

"Inno3D are preparing a small shipment of X3 and X4 3070's now but have already warned me they are struggling to find air space as Apple has being pre-booking all the flights to distribute their new phone to the world, so Inno3D have said to expect small shipping delays potentially."

Here there is a direct contradiction to what we have been told about the RTX3080s. We have been continually told that they are with a freight forwarder, and yet here we are told it is Inno who are preparing the shipment and Inno who are struggling to find air space. On top of all that we are told to expect only small shipping delays. If these RTX3070s arrive before the RTX3080s then we will know that for the past three weeks we have been sold a work of fiction !

That is true, and we don't even know who's selling the lie, cause it's either the store being unable to get them, or inno3d and the store just gives us what they are also told. All this is such a mess.

And speaking of mess I love to see news with manufacturers launching new models for 3080 and we barely get any they launched 1 and half month ago. Great job nvidia and partners

MSI Updates seemed to have evaporated quicker than ethanol on the light side of the moon!

 

[MagicBoy]

Well ****. Guessing OCUK counts a a non-essential retailer and will have to close for the rest of November after next Thursday?

They'll close the shop to the public. Rest of the business can continue trading as long as the location is COVID safe.

 

[L15T3R]

so everyone else is giving away COD but not OCUK?!

It seems that way yes. Taken from official overclockers discord in the sale-queries section someone was asking about the promo and got this back.

To be honest the launch was at the wrong time for Asian workers, there are several holidays October / November and come the new moon either Jan / Feb it will be all stop for 2 weeks due to the Chinese new year...

@John Harris
I thought the same, Eagles popping up all morning, scalped prices for sure

Eagles just popped up in the Spanish rainforest too.

 

[OmniSnr]

If caseking ( same company as OC so not competitor info ) have MSI gaming 3090’s in stock why can’t they just shift stock to fulfil their UK orders ?

@John Harris

Agreed - I wouldn't pay those prices - but it shows that the shipping Gigabyte spoke about was real - and a lot of people seemed to get a piece of it but OCUK. If this rubbish about couriers having a hard time with Black Friday, Xmas etc was to be believed, it seems it only affects deliveries to Overclockers.

 

[sunshinewelly]

all these telegram offers are in the region of 800- 900 quid though some 1000
been on there a week or 2 they are poping up regulary though worth a look if you desperate

That's nonsense

Some scalpers do post at a higher price but a large competitor to OC often post cards at standard prices. You can look at the history of the notifications. I have a evga X3 ultra at £709 on order which was on there on Thursday. Also if you have been using it for a few weeks how did you not get the FE3080 notification. Lots of us got that FE card on Thursday due to telegram

Probably kfa2, but manufacturer said won't send 3080 to Europe anytime soon

ive seen european sites over the last few days with them in stock and some places with expected in the next week

Will this be available to us in the UK soon?

It appears Caseking have been able to ship Inno3D RTX3080 iChill X3 cards, but to date zero stock has been shipped from OCUK, and it isn't looking promising for the remainder of the year either with alleged phantom stock supposedly sat portside for three weeks now!

as have many other european etailers. its ridiculous really.

i saw them once on de at none scalper prices but they lasted like 2-3 mins. Anybody that says the zotac is junk hasn't tried one personally. Its a very capable card and strangly zotac are the only AIB that seem to be able to make enough of them.

It seems that way yes. Taken from official overclockers discord in the sale-queries section someone was asking about the promo and got this back.

oh wow. They do like to keep reminding people that they're free to cancel. SMH

because caseking have oc at the bottom of their list too i'm guessing. Saying that though we have seen in the last week plenty of msi, inno, asus and even a few gb cards on european etailer sites. the uk doesnt seem to be getting many and out of that oc gets the smallest % it would seem.

Yeah the Eagles definitely reached other retailers

 

[Draxgter]

Any news about the Zotac Trinity OC 3080?

Haha you're not wrong my friend. Competitor was expecting a large delivery of MSI cards on Friday. Had an e mail that confirmed the delivery would even cover my order.. Haven't heard a thing, pretty sure Overclockers were expecting a large MSI shipment as well. No idea what's going on.
