Hi there

No 3080 shipment updates I am afraid and looking unlikely for any shipments for remainder of this week.

I have upgraded all remaining Zotac 3080 Trinity OC back orders to the AMP HOLO version free of charge.

Cheers @Gibbo, no doubt been crazy for you guys but I've stayed silent through most of this thinking I'd be happy no matter what the outcome - even if it got cancelled. Thank you to everyone at overclockers for just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
 
Has anyone tried purchasing a complete system and using the 3080 in their own build? I'm contemplating doing this and either using other parts or selling them.
I was wondering how 'good' the bundled 3080's are and if they can compete with retail versions

All cards are retail cards.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the cards that are used for pre-builds simply don't have a retail box and instructions. The actual card is exactly the same as a retail one.

@Gibbo Please could you offer a paid upgrade for 3080 queuers to a 3080 Ti pre-order queue for the equivalent card (e.g. Eagle -> Eagle) while retaining the same queuing order? Rather than those of us that have been queuing for 9 months being treated the same as everyone else in the usual Day-1 F5 frenzy? I think this would greatly help out both the people wanting to "throw money at the problem" by securing a 3080Ti as well as those wanting to hold out for a 3080 as at least they will move forward in their queue.

If the problem is that the Ti price is unknown/undisclosed, maybe you could just use what people have already paid as a kind of deposit to hold their position in the 3080Ti pre-order queue. Once they pay for the 3080Ti order you then automatically cancel their 3080 order. If you don't do this the likelihood is that people won't leave the 3080 queue even if they do get a 3080Ti (because profit). You could give people a week say to pay for their 3080Ti once the price is known else they stay in the 3080 queue.

3080ti will be a fresh queue, the management required to create a system where all existing 3080 orders have to be contacted, invoiced for the extra ££ would be immense.

I wonder what the actual supply of the 3080 Ti cards is going to be like? Unfortunately, I feel it isn't going to be great, spread too thinly worldwide.

Well, if the news suddenly announces there's been a massive heist from a reseller's warehouse, that'll be a clue they've been slowly building up stock for the release (e.g. that US MSI shipment). But I think you're right, it'll be like one pallet of mixed SKUs per reseller or something insane... :(

I think something dodgy is still going on in the distribution channels... the amount of cards apparently being made and the number of outstanding retail orders after > 6 months just doesn't add up in my opinion.

It's a shame you can't tell what GPU crypto was being mined on, that would really show us to extent of the mining GPU grab. Either that or Elon Musk bought the global supply for his moon base gaming arcade! :p

3060's now going for £100 more on ScalpBay than I paid for 3080. Bloody ridiculous :mad:

It is quite astonishing what is now considered an acceptable amount for a GPU - if you told someone 18 months ago they'd be forced to pay well over £700 for a xx60 card, they'd have thought you were delusional! :eek:

Just email the 3080 queue giving them a week to buy a 3080 Ti before anyone else. You could even do it over the phone with the salesperson simply placing one order and cancelling the other. Simples. No complex invoices. No management overhead. Even just that would give folks first dibs. I've phoned them to place one order and cancel another before and it's a piece of cake.

And actually going one step further to get those people into roughly the right order in the new queue at the end of that week could be done in a few hours on spreadsheet one would think.
I don't believe the cynics, I think overclockers feels our pain. We're their best customers afterall if we're willing to put down £650+ for months on end with no product and they want our custom for that shiny new monitor to go with our shiny new graphics card etc...

3060’s on eBay for £750-£850, 3060 Ti’s/3070’s for £1100-£1300 and 3080’s for £1800-£2200. And what’s worse is people are actually buying them too and bidding on them

I can't see that changing any time soon... just feel sorry for gaming pre-orderers let down by money orientated miners. Another example of capitalism unchecked, you can't do a thing about it now, our hands are tied.

I got my Gigabyte 3080 Vision in March. I originally bought a palit one for mrsp at £749.99 but couldn’t be bothered waiting so I changed over to gigabyte 3080 which costed me £1099.99 and at the time I though it was a little overpriced but now it seems like a good deal considering eBay prices and also retailers upping their prices too
 
I paid £660 @launch for my 3080 and I was tempted to sell back then for £1200 as I thought I'd be able to pick one up again for around MSRP in a month or 2 once things settled down but decided not to in the end and glad I made the right call now especially as I've made around 1k mining when I'm not gaming so it's a free card now with a bit of beer money on the side ready for when the pubs reopen.
