Hi Everyone.
I am just wondering what is going on with EVGA? I (and others) are patiently waiting for our lovely 3080's and time and again in threads online posts from stateside is posted showing rows of EVGA 3080s and every time new stock comes in it seems they are EVGA cards.

Now I understand we in blighty are not priority number one and in fact other factors are impacting delivery of our cards like Brexit and Miners but our queue has only moved because of cancelations.. we've not had any... is that right?

I am happy to keep waiting, its not like its a food parcel, but in particular EVGA seems to be absent from all deliveries.. is this correct?
 
We have not received any EVGA cards for over a month I think on any GPU let alone a 3080 and we have no sight of anything coming anytime soon.

Stock situation seems worse than ever and don’t see it getting better now until 2022 I’m afraid!

Will demand not loosen up in summer once lockdown has lifted? Or am I dreaming
 
Ouch. Thanks for the honest answers. I am stuck into remaining in the queue because doing anything else wont result in getting a card, certainly at RRP. I definitely blame EVGA for their attitude to the UK market and am going to sit and wait.

Unlikely. TSMC and just about any other Fab plant are running at maximum capacity more or less, but not making wafers for GPU’s, making CPU’s for cars and the auto industry. While they are installing new manufacturing capacity this will take a year at least to come in stream. Devices are using more powerful and complex chips which are more difficult to make with a potential for lower yield as well as devices using more chips than ever. The current scarcity is likely to continue for most if not all of this year.

Your better off sourcing another gpu if you can that is. Keep your existing order going but you are going to be way down on the list because right now they can sell to new customers for a lot more.

Learn from it and don’t buy EVGA in the future they obviously don’t value you as a customer.
 
We had an EVGA thread for Ampere and it’s grim reading.

What i think is happening is that EVGA have contracts with big U.S bricks and mortar retailers and U.S PC builders as there are legal implications for not meeting these contracts that is where the cards are ending up.

You have far better chance of getting an EVGA card through a U.S PC builder or, bricks and mortar store.

U.K market? come back next year.

Nope nobody can get enough stock and that is all business areas, gaming, corporate, miners, system builders are getting nowhere near what they want.

If lock down ends stock situation will remain just as bad the demand is just far to much for what can be produced some system builders are actually going bust as they can’t build systems any more so there bread and butter is gone even larger car manufacturers cannot build cars because they are waiting on stuff.

Lock down ending and BTC crashing would help but even if both those things happen which on BTC is highly unlikely now it would still take months to catch up.

Except if/when bitcoin crashes, forums like this and auction sites are going to be flooded with computer parts and will probably be sold for very low prices.... No one will be buying over priced parts from etailers....
 
If bitcoin crashes, I mean really crashed 80% of value gone, there will be loads of cheap graphics card for sale, this happened before with AMD cards. Then it'll really hit the retailers like overclock, especially if the only cards they can source is still way over RRP. Not to mention it'll also hit the manufacturers.

That's the main reason why nvidia is reluctant to really ramp up the production rates imo, they don't want over supply only to crash when demand drops.

As it stands, demand for mining is unlimited given you can make your money back in 2-3 months, and interest rate is terrible at banks making savings pretty much worthless.

I really feel for the guys who sold 2080TI for £300-400 6 months ago after 3070 was announced, I should have picked them up in hindsight.
