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

[Regnet]

@ASUS GPU Support Any update on the Asus Strix non-oc 3080? I'm currently 339 in the queue, am I likely to get one this side of christmas? Currently rocking a 660 so kinda need a upgrade :'D

That's one every 2 weeks. If they keep that rate up, I'd have been waiting until 2031.

Last week I only gained 2 positions, from 10th to 8th, so unless they sent cards to people in lower positions than me (why?) they have sent 2 cards in 2 months, all 2 last week.

He's a forum mod and nothing to do with the shop, reel it in Karen[/QU

System integrator stock i.e. components for pre-builds. They ship in plain boxes without any packaging or other bits and have different warranties etc. Also often referred to as 'OEM stock' or 'white box stock'.

It's also crap, my sister's bf bought an OCUK prebuilt and it came with normal retail box for the GPU...

When though? And with a product in such short supply the rules nVidia place on them could have easily changed!

Last week, 3070. I have no doubt the stock is allocated to pre-builds, however the fact about the boxes being different etc is wrong

When the comment was made it was in reference to the 3080/3090 iirc, the 3070 isn't in such a bad position stock wise I believe, so maybe that's changed?

 

[TimAhKin]

How is everyone? All good?
Who's going to try and snatch a 6800 card and cancel the 3070-3080?

Possibly, though you'd think it'd be the other way round, if there's plenty of supply then surely they wouldnt need to send a retail unit?

Personally I hope everyone cancels their nVidia orders and buys AMD, nVidia need to be taught a lesson over this situation they've purposely created!!

Agreed, but maybe they haven't had the restrictions put on them so OCUK just use them where needed?

I would, however I will wait for others to beta test the drivers. Got burned with a 5700XT don't want that experience again!

We haven't seen eye to eye, but I wholeheartedly agree. They've become too big for their own good and deserve a knock down or two back to reality.

True, true

Though it seems everything AMD has been doing over the last few years with CPUs and GPUs is maturing and far less issues than of old?

Wooo it's actually here, took a whole two days.

As much as I hope I am wrong, I have a strange feeling that AMD will be the exact same.

Just look at their CPU's and them also being just as bad, being bought up by scalpers and so on.

Honestly i've never seen a launch as bad as this year has been with consoles/cpus/gpus being totally bought up in seconds.

But yeah I do hope I am wrong, but if AMD has brought their A Game I see no reason why they wont sell out in seconds sadly

This is true. I have a 2700x and it's a good CPU, it just comes with awful power management out the box and needs the fan curves sorting as it spikes voltage constantly as part of the design. It's something that isn't too hard to sort, however it's an annoyance I haven't had with any intel CPU.
