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

    I'm glad I bailed and picked up a 3090FE back in November because going by your position I'd still be way into the 300's

    RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

    Sad isn't it. All the extra money they are making off customers now how many customers are they going to lose. I know I've spent over £2k with other vendors since their GPU launch. I can't be the only one.

    I did get a code when my 5900x was shipped last week. Confirmed yesterday from AMD that the code is no longer valid. AMD should honour the code it's their fault they couldn't supply the damn CPU why we all suffer! This will just push people to pirate the game because they feel they have already...

    Finally finished mine. Started in August. Well not totally finished I still need a GPU WB still that's not important. 5900x arrived yesterday which was the final item. I paid RRP for all of it just had to wait a long arse time. Just finished building her today. Really pleased I waited.

    Damn you weren't kidding were you? Nearly £2200 and people said £1400 was an insane price to pay!!

    When the promotion ended I don't understand why OC didn't offer the COD promotion like other retailers. Maybe Nvidia had the hump with them over the Watchdog promotion and the extra codes they argued over?! I was never interested in Watchdogs so was happy to pick up an FE with the Cod code...

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    I know that feeling. Having got burnt with the 3080TuF and how OC dealt with the whole situation I order my 5900x from somewhere else and going by the price you paid it looks like the same place. While OC had 1500 turn up before Christmas the expected 1200 they were expecting never arrived and...

    I got my 3090FE through this forum actually. Someone mentioned they were listed and that he just took the plunge knowing the price was nuts but was glad to be out of the 3080 saga. I felt the same way so copied him and grabbed one. Yes, something like stockinformer/stockdrops on Discord will...

    The 3090FE is looking better value now than it did at launch and the 3080FE is a bargain if you're one of the luck 0.0001% who can grab one during the 5 seconds they are on sale.

    The news is there is unlikely to be any deliveries before the end of January they are still waiting for an ETA from AMD for February but with Chinese new year happening on the 12th plus all the other current logistic struggles, it might be March before any good amount start arriving. I guess it...

    For those asking about pre-orders - there is a reason why it's greyed out it's because 100's if not 1000's are already on backorder so you would we looking at months before you'd get one. You're better looking elsewhere because most closed their preorders withing days while OCuk kept them open...

    OCuk now might start to find more orders being cancelled as other retailers are starting to clear their backorders. I've noticed that the hugely popular Asus TuF OC backorders have been completed so any more incoming stock will be free for sale. Not so good for OCuk but great news for the...

    The 3090 is just 10%-15% faster than the 3080 so how are they going to position the 3080ti? Slightly faster than the 3080 with more memory? or will they jump over the 3090 claiming is was never sold as a gaming card despite the silly 8k gaming sales pitch. Won't matter they'll be no stock and by...

    That's why the FE cards are the ones to buy as they can't overcharge. Kinda feel the OC, extreme etc cards aren't worth the extra cost+ripoff pricing.

    I feel more for those in the top 50 who purchased day 1 of their respective list than those like I was in the 500+ because they are so close so it and yet soo far away but daren't cancel.

    Basically, NO from what others have reported and they are not taking part in the COD offer either.

    Received my 3090FE on Sunday @ 12pm checked to make sure it was all good before cancelling. Requested a refund using the form on the forum thread for the 3080TuF last night about 10 pm and got my confirmation it's been completed at 1 pm Monday.
