That will be people creating fake accounts and bidding them up with no intention to buy.

loooooool. Other vendors have stock for today.
I've checked the top 3 vendors and can't find any stock
Thats what i thought pal until i read the first post by Gibbo saying it was one of the cards in stock currently, and that the pre order tags were not exactly right etc etc,
Who knows, comes when it comes i guess lol
Pricey start down, pricey go up. People upset, but still ordered.
Yeah makes you laugh. I have read two reviews now where they say the TUF is the card to buy as its the same price as the FE but better and not worth paying £100 more for other AIB cards for little or no gain,.
Just a shame nobody will be able to buy the TUF for £649 for a few months,
LMAO. Nvidia restock? That was it mate, all gone. Nvidia wont be making anymore FE. Its AIB only now. I even saw a review which said you were lucky if you managed to grab an FE as it is without doubt the best 3080 card and is now very rare and sought after.

Yeah, that was rather odd. Seemed to have shifted quite quickly.
Prices are rocketing everywhere, the Asus TUF is has gone up by £90 elsewhere now...i really hope AMD can pull something out the bag after all this.
Soldato
Same here, except that the servers crashed before accepting payment.
And now that £649 is now £690.
Absolute shambles.
Any news how many Zotac Cards they had in ready for yesterday and are getting in today? I managed to order at 14.09 but have no dispatch message so guess I missed the cut for the initial stock, which was always to be expected even if 14.09 seems to be quite early compared to others

You can certainly blame OCUK and their price gouging.
Soldato
Other vendors saying end of october/early november now for most cards. I think that's being realistic!

It's a bit of both when nVidia is launching a card with such little global availability. They've mastered the art of manipulating supply and demand, pretty much tech diamonds.
OCUK alone will have had tens of thousands of customers trying to get their hands on one with only a couple of hundred in the warehouse.
