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

[Stumpy&Frumpy]

We have ventus X2 2080 now, it’s very good.
The 3090 though only delivers around 25% performance increase according the benchmarks I’ve seen, so it’s a big call value wise.

Just think forward.

If nvidia release a 3080ti or super in 12 months, you’ll be pretty cross. Unless of course money is no object?

Hey guys, is it worth grabing msi ventus 3x 3090 for £1,470? Im on the que for gigabyte aorus 3080 but these keep on popping up for sale, i wonder if they are good

Unless you're desperate then no. Be patient and wait for a competitively more reasonably priced 3080.

Thanks for reply, money is always an issue but ive been without a pc for nearly two months due to psu blowing up the system so im kinda getting desperate

Can you not just get a lesser GPU to get you by whilst waiting? For example the 1660 super is a good card for up to 1440p (at a pinch) and you will get most of your money back if you resell it.

I agree, gpu hold a little bit of value. I was looking to get a 980 for an older build I was messing around with. They still going £100+

25%? That's being kind. Most benches I have seen are closer to 15%

Has there been anything said about the Palit 3080 OC's recently?

 

[Shaun Walker]

That's disappointing, I was hoping that small (15 cards) batch that came in last week was just an extra tacked onto the Trio batch and that they would still receive the OK batch of Ventus this week
Back to checking Gibbo's info thread for batch news :|

Wishful thinking my friend prepare for a week of radio silence

Spoke to them on Facebook last Thursday and they said they were sending a shipment to the UK the next day

Morning
I have requested to cancel my order this morning for the msi trio
I was 213 in the queue.
I managed to get one yesterday and it's being delivered today
Good Luck everyone.

 

[Pongo Snodgrass]

Indeed, another week of radio silence.

Still, on the bright side, at least we know there’s no recent news on the Ryzen 5000’s.

Only a week? You're optimistic!

Looks like another place has cleared almost another 100 cards according to a table on their site across the Gigabyte range...What on earth is going on OCUK @GIGA-Man?!?!? Unless we get that kind of shift here this week you can kiss my hairy @$$ goodbye!!!

I feel pretty similar. Still waiting for my Eagle, even though I was only #125ish in the queue at the start I'm still only mid 60s in the queue.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get myself a 6800XT instead, but I don't want to cancel my 3080 order. I don't want to seem like a scalper, but I'll probably keep my 3080 order and sell it on (at price paid + delivery) since I ordered it for £650 from OcUK. If I cancel it then I'm basically just letting OcUK get another £100 since I'm sure they won't be refunding any money to people further down in the queue, and I don't really want to "reward" OcUK's poor service.

How long did it take for them to respond to your webnote as I put a webnote cancellation request in yesterday and it will be the last time I order as oclverclockers are a dog **** retailer that lies about being number 1 partner I doubt they are even number 3

Only took a few hours to get a response, but I didn't officially send out a cancellation request until today. I'm still waiting.

 

[LoZeno]

Why do I still come here lol

Masochism.
But don't worry, we don't kinkshame here

Well, that is only one working day ago.

 

[Alex Bingham]

So I received my FE 3070 yesterday and completed my first build!
I have requested to cancel my 3070 ASUS TUF OC in position 8.
Good luck everyone!

Probably a complete waste of time, but what the hell.
Some support would be appreciated.

Thread nuked.
