A small batch could be 8 or 8000

Why isn't there any more clarity regarding this?

As far as Im aware it was 5 MSI Tri X cards so yeah small. I cant blame these guys i blame Nvidia. for not giving enough time to the board partners and bots. I know on competitors sites they where taking orders long long after OC crashed so id hate to see the wait for those people, that's kind of a good thing for people who ordered from OC and are willing to wait.

What does that matter when even OCUK do not know how much stock is going to be arriving over the next few months? You could be 20th in the queue, but if they dont get 20 cards until December than the date is still December.

Also you will likely find that your item went up whilst in the basket and you did not realise, the £300 is not a mistake that was the price of the item(s) you paid for.

This the price increase is not OcUK targeting specific individuals it is just between you starting and finishing the order the web price had changed, that is why we have setup the easy refund option.
I did warn the MSRP was for a limited quantity and would likely last minutes. Just demand was way beyond expectation and website crashed as did most competitor websites and at same time all competitors also increase pricing too.

The focus right now is the 3080 issue which the team is working on now hard and I am trying to secure as much stock as possible.


Right now we do not even know what is gonna happen with 3090 and 3070 launches, we kind of cannot have a repeat of this again.
We have also updated our prices on those we won't be offering any at MSRP due to simply risk making zero money or losing money, also the simple fact trying to give people the chance to get one at MSRP caused way more issues and backlash when we were trying to help out. I guess if demand had been high but normal, website functioned then it would have worked better but the demand was simply vastly beyond any prediction, we had resources in place to cope as if it was a Black Friday even but double the size, however demand was way beyond and hence the whole website slowed down causing many to have a poor experience.

We can only apologise for that, now just be patient please, once we get all confirmed an official update will be posted, I am pushing very hard for this to be today, but remember OcUK is part of a very large group and of course we want to publish a group wide statement as sales are of course insane at every entity.

Oh absolutely. I mean I appreciate Gibbo giving us some clarification but it really was a release to beat AMD but it's been horribly mismanaged by Nvidia

Thanks for the update. Disappointing to hear you wont be offering any 3090 at MSRP. :(

There was only a set amount at MSRP, once the amount had sold the price was increased, which happened nationwide.

My order didn't go through until 5:10 GMT but was for the MSRP (ASUS TUF non-OC). Am I right in guessing I've lucked out on the cost but will be way back in the queue?
 
Thanks for the update Gibbo but I do not feel it answers the expectations which were given yesterday by yourself.

You strongly indicated that there was already stock for the Zotac 3080 and there was more coming today to service purchases. Your post today seems to indicate that is not the case. In addition, I believe it is only fair that each person who ordered is given an indication of where they are in the waiting list so they can fairly determine whether it is worth waiting it out or not.

That seems reasonable in regards to the waiting list.
 
I purchased the MSI Ventus 3080 at 21:13 yesterday when this website opened back up and youre now telling me that I will not be receiving this card until basically... next year some time!?!? When I purchased it, your website told me ETA would be 18/09/2020. I was online at 14:00 for about an hour trying to place an order which went nowhere cuz of your **** website. Honestly I am so ****** off, I am currently running a 10 yr old potato and wanted to finally upgrade, have been looking forwards to yesterday for weeks and now the only way I am going to be able to get any where is by buying a 2080 which is nothing now. Never giving OCUK my custom again after you inflating prices 3 times yesterday. complete joke.
 
I'm sorry Gibbo if has already been answered but for those people who like myself managed to order and pay for card (the msi trio) when it was shown ETA as today are we also to not expect a card anytime soon?
 
A waiting list would be good, not expecting anything like that to emerge over night but if it is something they could do ... even email customers with pre-orders what number they are would be really helpful.
