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

    Yeah just post in the CS forum > Order query. There are plenty of 3080 Ti's if you want one, price is a bit eye watering but you should get about £150 - £200 off the web list price if you have a 3080 preorder here. I went for it - very happy with my Ti even if it is awful value for money!

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

    Yes I had/have a similar issue with my 3080Ti using Displayport! It's not quite the same, but I get no display output until the Windows logon screen, and if I try to enter the BIOS the PC locks up completely and never boots. The solution for me is to drop down my monitor settings to Displayport...

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

    In this instance I used Unigine Superposition maxed out. With my old PSU it caused a hard poweroff every single time it started. All fine now after about 5 runthroughs last night, and I got a decent score which put me right in the correct range for my components. The backplate on the 3080 Ti...

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

    Got the new HX850 Platinum in and....... all good!! Running that first benchmark after installing it was a bit tense! The old AX850 hasn't missed a beat before so am a bit sad to see it go, but hey ho at least I'm up and running. I had to diagnose another weird issue in that if I have...

    Good idea, thanks. Replacement PSU will be here tomorrow anyway, but it will be an interesting test to carry out regardless.

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

    Yeah very good - it hasn't had a single issue since day one (until today). I guess it has degraded to some respect and I hear that the 3000 range can stress an older PSU with short, intermittent 'transient' very high current draw. So i'm just hoping it's that. I doubt it's the GPU itself as...

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

    Finally got my chunky Zotac 3080 Ti installed this afternoon. Fresh install of Windows 10, drivers on, Superposition benchmark installed - immediate hard power off upon launching benchmark :eek::( I did wonder if my 10 year old Corsair AX850 would still be able to cope, never had a problem with...

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

    Exactly this. I had a high-end 3080 on order (ROG Strix OC), opted for a 'lower' end 3080 Ti just to do what I could to minimise the price difference! (Zotac AMP HOLO). It was £300 cheaper than the ROG Strix Ti and the only real tangible difference I could see was a slightly nicer heatsink fan...

    My 3080Ti shld be here tomoz - should have been today, but DPD accidentally misrouted my parcel to Liverpool! More delay drama! I can finally purchase and install MS Flight Sim 2020, at least that has had a year of bug fixes and patches! Battlefield 2042 is looking like it might be a good...

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

    Hi all, I don't want to tread on anyone's toes but - like other people have said in here, I didn't get the upgrade/downgrade email yet (92 in the ROG Strix OC queue), so I posted a new thread in the private customer services section and was offered the 3070Ti's & 3080Ti's at discounted rates...

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

    I am currently in queue position 92 for the Asus 3080 ROG Strix Gaming OC - ordered 24/09/20. Just wondering, based on other user positions, if I should have already had the upgrade email? Perhaps I deleted it from my junk mail without noticing it...

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

    Hi all, I was 130th in line for 3080 ROG Strix OC on last update - ordered 24th September. Should I have had the email yet or still a way off?

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES (3090 / 3080 / 3070) NOW ONLINE AT OcUK **

    All this waiting around certainly has made me appreciate just how good my EVGA GTX 1080 still is... It's 4.5 years old and still plays all the current games at a decent framerate!

    10 Days Since launch and no que position tracker

    Like others have touched on, a queue position indicator is only really useful if it accounts for the quantity and dates of each card SKU being shipped by the manufacturers to OCUK. Without that info, being in position 1000 for a card could mean a 4 week wait, or a 4 month wait...

    NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

    Well I was holding out for a 3090 but that seems like a silly purchase for me, as I am a very casual gamer at 1440p. So I have just preordered the ASUS 3080 RoG Strix. I'm sure I am now over 10,000th in line on this site alone so not expecting it until Christmas time at best :p

    NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

    I'm sure it will be a great performer, but it does look utterly grotesque! Who signed off on that shroud design?!

    NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

    Got it - makes sense now, thanks. So I have managed to raise ~£1,500 through ebay over the past few weeks, just by clearing out the garage of old tech kit I have stored. So I have the cash ready in the bank, initially I wanted to go all out for the 3090 but does seem pointless for me (casual...

    NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

    I see - given that no-one can get a 3080 though it makes the 3090 more viable for some! But I think there are even less 3090's available...

    Ah ok thanks - just wondering why there are no official 3090 FE reviews?

    No it wasn't, all the 3080 reviews landed on Wednesday 16th - about 18 hours before the launch date: Gamers Nexus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTeXh9x0sUc&t=1s&ab_channel=GamersNexus LTT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG_ZHi3tuyk&ab_channel=LinusTechTips Jayz...
