After 3 weeks on discord, StockDrops supposed to send notifications when bots scan for cards in stock, the whole time I thought notifications was send nearly instantly. But after read interesting reddit post 1 hour ago someone informed 2 brands RTX 3070 cards are in stock now, I checked it out and 1 brand are still on stocks and other brand was out of stock at very high price. But interesting I noticed StockDrops as well as Stock Radar still failed to send out notifications 1 hour later now. Also checked stock notifcation on twitter found they did not send notifications 1 hour later.

So I just now realised stock notifications on both discord and twitter are unreliable, they must had send out notifications hours late. That why I cant get MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X on Friday when it was out of stock hours earlier and notications send out hours late. :mad:

What an absolutely shamble! :(

I find the 'allow notifications' to be the best on the tracker I used. I almost always see stock when I click on the link, it even caught most of the OCUK sales yesterday while add to basket was live. Though on some vendors I may need to refresh the landing page if I've been there before and its cached as OOS.
You get the popup in Windows 10. This usually pings 30s to 2min before I get the discord from the same tracker.

Edit: 3080's still very rare though

Hi,
Bought 3080 Ventus 17th of SEP at 15:18. Still 57 in queue (nothing has changed from 5 weeks).
Have asked OC team about any updates/possibility to get card before xmass. They said, there is no planned delivery from MSI during this month, so if you are awaiting for any MSI 3080, do not expect anything soon...

I used Discord both on Android and Windows 10 desktop app. I read alerts instruction advised 'Make sure you have at least "Only @ mentions" turned ON within that channel's Notification Settings in order to receive notifications', I changed all trackers to Only @ mentions. In user settings/app settings notifications push notification inactive timeout is default 10 mins to sent notifications on mobile phone. Maybe I should change it to 1 min? Also I muted all trackers but only unmuted 3080 trackers to receive notifications to avoided too much messages.

Well I not always see 3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 stocks when I click on the link and DDoS protection by Cloudflare almost always threw up on my screen for 10 secs when website traffic is heavy forced me in a queue to see the product page. When that damn DDoS protection screen gone after 10 secs and I found item was out of stock already and on other site stock was in all customers baskets. OCUK is the worst one threw up DDoS protection on my screen for 20 secs. I always see 3090 in stocks when I click on the links but 1 time last night almost all 3090 stocks are gone I clicked on link then clicked again 1 hour later to checked for stocks and the DDoS protection banned me.

I googled error 1015 found ban can last for 1 hour and tried again 1 and 2 hours later found they still banned me. Tried again at 6.12pm and still banned me and finally after 24 hours I was able to viewed the page after ban was lift after 24 hours found the only one is still in stock not for much longer.

Just be very careful best not to hammer F5 to refresh or they will ban you for 24 hours.

Discord was now very quiet with no new notifications for hours as bots seemed have problem find the last few 3090 left still in stock or bots was banned everytime it tried to click link lol. Had only 1 3080 EU notification in a week.

3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 UK stocks are all gone. :eek:

I been tried to buy MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X about 11 times over the last month and scalpers bought all MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X and they now bought all MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X too.

Manged to find MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X for £1449.99 with 13 in stock. Disgraceful scalper!

Saw Gibbo post about Suprim X, I was shocked 10,000 people wanted RTX 3080 Suprim X.

MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio

Order date 28/10/2020 22:04:54

30/10/2020: Queue position 1418
06/11/2020: Queue position 1241

11/12/2020: Queue position 932

I really hope for a miracle next week or 2 weeks time just before christmas day to grab RTX 3080 SUPRIM X if it in stock somewhere at good price but NOT at £1449.99 scalper price. If there will be still very little stock and impossible to get RTX 3080 SUPRIM X then I will wait until January 2021 probably will have better chance to grab RTX 3080 Ti SUPRIM X at lower price than RTX 3080 scalper price.

I felt really awful for all poor mugs bought 3060 Ti for £600, 3070s for £750 to £1000 and 3080s for £1300 to £1500 from scalpers.

So what if it's Nov 27th? So he's had his card already then...

Just goes to show you can get cards faster without waiting in a queue, that's all i'm saying. People have been in queues since launch and have nothing to show for it, many others didn't fall the for the pay-in-advance-to-queue nonsense and have a card...

People waiting in queues are getting overtaken by people who didn't queue, so those cards you're queuing for are being snapped up...

It's pretty simple really!

;)

PRETTY SIMPLE??? :mad:

IT NOT THAT SIMPLE! :mad:

Oh god I now finally realised StockDrops is a complete waste of time after used almost 2 months for nothing after I read thousand of messages to find links noticed moderator Near [EU] posted MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X link in discussion section general-eu on last friday 18 Dec. I was absolutely fumed and raged at him because he never posted Suprim X in RTX3080-stock-europe notification then I posted a message said I was very disappointed with Near [EU] not send out Suprim X notification, I would had a chance to grab one if notification was send out. Next day I read all Near [EU] messages found someone asked him how notifications worked and Near [EU] said it was done manually added links to RTX3080-stock-europe notification by StockDrops admin and EU moderators only. It not done by bots.

ONLY 5 StockDrops 5 3080 UK notifications through 8 to 22 Dec!

Pathetic!!!

Last week was very stressful for me lose lots of sleep. I will look for alternatives to rubbish StockDrops.

24 December was a miracle day I almost missed out alert from discord after joined UK Stock Alert nearly a day later bought MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X seconds before 10 went out of stock and I almost passed out.

Just got email hour ago confirmed MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X had been dispatched and it is on way to deliver on 30 December.

I will watch out for parcel, hopefully it wont go missing.

If everything go well soon and I will post final queue position this week and finally cancel my pre-order.

Nvidia are selling loads of cards directly to miners and are now building up stocks for the 3080 Ti and other Ampree variants, AMD have allocated most of the 7nm towards the production of the PS5/Xbox and both companies are hamstrung by shortages of other components as well as limited shipping freight so don't expect to be able to buy any new card soon.

Just saw email from OCUK for my final queue number is 786 and I finally send OCUK webnote and webform request to cancel my pre-order now.

I very pleased with my MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X card worked fine and I emailed customer service few days later asked for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War code then next day I received email with code and successful redeemed Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

I am absolutely shocked to see Suprim X listed on OCUK for £989.99. :eek:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...dr6x-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-36n-ms.html

So relieved I finally got Suprim X cheaper and got free game before prices will hike up to cover 25% Trump tariff on GPUs and motherboards.
