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

    Well it appears my vigil here is over ladies and gents. Had one of the email offers and switched from the Palit 3080 to a Gigabyte Aorus Master 3070ti, to those who didnt get one in the Palit queue I hope at least you'll be somewhat relieved to hear that you've gone up a place there, and I'm...

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

    I understand you'd want to be hopeful and I'd say by all means go for it if you want but I highly doubt it, the problem is shortages on components and the worldwide pandemic which is still very much in effect, if they'd have learned a lesson or were in a better position, wouldn't we have seen...

    Yeah like, its most likely gonna be a scalped launched once again so you're looking at another few month wait, what's the point if you have one on preorder at this point?

    Honestly if no one else is bothered about the Gamerocks I'd be more than happy to upgrade as I quite like the design, very unique.

    Honestly it was running a lot better. Medium settings seemed to be drawing 60fps which is a far cry better than the 30fps on low I was getting, so works great!

    It'll run it, but not all THAT well at least I don't think. I have a 1070 and an i7 4750k I think and it was about 30fps. But that CPU was bottlenecking and ive upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3700x, currently reinstalling Flight Sim as we speak so I don't have a benchmark just yet!

    Oh yeah I mean if you can afford it get the best power supply you can, like if I could I'd have just broke the bank on a 1200w lol. But I've gone price conscious this time around on a build and with a Ryzen 7 3700 and such, I can get away with 650w.

    Bit late on this but the 750w is the recommended not the minimum, if you're smart on power consumption with other components and preferably use a gold tier PSU, you can get away with 650w PSUs. The math works out and theres quite a few videos on YouTube on this too.

    Congrats on your vigil paying off! What place are you in the non OC queue out of curiosity?

    Dont blame you, I'm also looking elsewhere but keeping my preorder in case I don't get anything.

    Sounds like it must be cancellations I was 161 now I'm 140+ so between me and you there's been like 14 cancellations

    So I've moved 20 places in my Palit queue (Gaming Pro non OC), I highly doubt that's ALL cancellations surely. Looks like these shipments aren't getting mentioned once again...

    Generally depends one when the payment went through and how many other people did the same, you might have been queued. Check you email for order confirmation, and tomorrow you SHOULD get a weekly update assuming they actually send out the updates.

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

    I'm aware the thread and the initial post is addressing the 6800, but the way he worded the part I excluded it sounds to me like he's talking about the entire situation with cards currently, maybe I misunderstood but just doesn't seem it. But hey, I suppose we can hope something will pick up...

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

    So you're telling me they ordered 50,000 of one specific card? And not to mention in that specific paragraph he seemed to be talking about the issues around the GPU launches as a whole, that's the thing that's getting me. When talking about backorders he does say several thousand, but I don't...

    So did anyone see the new thread this morning? Now the bit that interests me here is Like is this JUST for this card? I definitely don't think so with the 50'000 number, meanwhile on a competitor site they are expecting over 1000 3080 cards by December 7th ALONE. So what is going on here...

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

    Interesting! Well usually I guess it depends on who ordered what amount, so fingers crossed!

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

    Yeah that's right, ordered mine on the 18th after hoping the OTHER GPU launch was going to be different but I don't know why because damn So in just 4 days it went up by 60, which is... Actually not as much as I'd have expected. I guess we will see! I can only assume they got through the...

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

    Got a bit of a question regarding the products available to pre-order, so I preordered my 3080 a week ago today, straight into position 168 (and after seeing other peoples wait times I feel lucky). But my question is how come they re-enabled the Pre-Order button? Like take one of the...
