anyway of seeing size of queue for cards

barnett71 · 15 Nov 2020 at 20:40

I want to pre-order a 3080 (yes i did at launch but it was such a disaster that i couldnt afford to have £800 out of account without a product I didnt know would come)

is there a number on the queues?

It's somewhere between Order a 6800 next week or an Ampere Ti january/February :-)

Seriously don't queue at this point mate, get on stock alerts, put some leg work in and you will be sorted. Though honestly the Ampere cards are going extinct from the looks of it in favour of the Ti's coming asap, you may regret an Ampere at this late stage.

There are 1,100 people in the queue at OC for just one of the AIB models

Non OC cards are less popular and worth a punt.

Did you have a specific model in mind?

Easy to get to the front of that, just start a hacking cough for a few minutes

If your going to join a queue, 6800XT is probably going to be shortest if your quick.

I think similar chance of bagging a 3080FE until the Ti drops in January then you will find far less beelining for the 3080 and some actually selling there's on.

I was looking at the 6800xt untilk I realised I have g sync monitor

I was under the impression once they received my orders they would inform me of a queue number. They did not so i asked via a webnote and was ignored and when i pointed out in the next webnote i sent that they never answered my question about my queue number i was told i did not ask????? lol After seeing the threads on here i canceled my orders but done it via phone what cost me almost 12 quid due to being a queue for 50 mins and talking to them for 10 mins!
I will never use Oclockers again

Things are difficult at the moment. No stock, so staff. I guess this is all over the place. Welcome to the world of NVIDIA with a lot help from Covid.

Agreed, I could even hear the sadness in the voices of the 2 guys i talked too. Why people take it out on the front line staff i don't know but i think they are sick of all this also.
It really feels like ocuk has tried to make a profit from orders they cant fill what i know is not there fault but i have now seen other retailers handling the low stock a hell of a lot better.

Edit? changed not to now cos i cant type proper lol

I was never anything but polite and cheery with them, and they were the worst people I ever spoke to in customer service, clearly no shizzle given, worst cu experience ever, fortunately I wont ever have to repeat it haha.
