Have overclockers really only sent out 19 Gigabyte RTX 3080 OC Gaming cards in almost a month?

i don't think that 19 have been sold maybe you have some cancelations in that as well I have a preorder on the Gaming OC as well and i have only moved from 62 to 50
 
I'm under the impression that retailers are scalping cards off like what MSI were doing. It really doesn't make a lick of sense as to why **** would be held back till 2021 for AMD to play catch up :/

I mean these guys are still selling 2080Ti's for same price as they were before this GPU released so I'm guessing retailers are trying to figure out how to clear 2080's out from stock while trying to retain some profits from those cards.

I'm position 10 for this card, I know those that were previously position 5 and 8 now have their cards. My position on the 29th September was 18. So in just under a month they've only received about 10 cards of this type. I don't blame OCUK this mostly lies with Nvidia and Gigabyte but it still sucks. Also for the record I ordered at 15:13 launch day.

Everyone keeps talking about production ramping up in November but I don't get it, why was it not ramped up before launch, why just drip feed cards across the entire planet at launch so there's barely any reaching retailers. I mean I know why, because they needed guine pigs to test their cards before finalising the design to roll out mass production. Also that Nvidia didn't give manufactures enough time to design and produce their cards. And that just came down to trying to keep everything a secret from their competitor. All that to say we as consumers got screwed and anyone saying they had a decent supply of cards at launch are kidding themselves, production is only ramping up not down so the fact we've only had 10 in three weeks highlights how little they had at launch. It was basically a paper launch in the sense that they weren't trying to fulfil demand as their primary directive. Nvidia's primary directive was secrecy and manufactuers was buying as much time to test and refine their designs as possible. As long as you have realistic expectations in mind, that you'll be waiting potentially months to get your card, you'll be fine. If anyone is under any delusion that production will ramp up enough to fulfil even half the orders by Christmas you might want to re-evaluate.

I think they wanted to wait and see what AMD did before committing to mass production.
 
Great news guys, stock is now moving really fast. I've received another queue update and I've gone from 133 to 129 in two weeks! :D seriously though, I thought they said production would increase, not decrease... I'm now seriously considering canceling and going with amd. Dlss is the only thing holding me back, doesn't look like amd has an answer to that

I'd hold on, you may well find after 29th (AMD launch) they start handing them out like a candy store.

Ordered on the 6th October and i'm queue position 984. I've seen someone on here say they ordered on the 14th October and were 40 places in front of me in the queue so i'd love to know how that works.
The things I don't understand are:

1) If Overclockers already have 1000+ people in a queue, why are they still allowing the products to be purchased? money in their account earning interest
2) Why are they taking the money immediately for something they likely won't ship now until February/March next year - Money for them to use
2) How is it possible that ASUS have only sent 20 of these cards to one of the biggest online retailers in the country? - dont know
3) What are Nvidia playing at!?

i ordered on 21st and am 1253 in the queue I thought this was overall orders, but if this is just for the OC edition i am really shocked! they should have closed pre-orders at 500 units keeping it open its insane what's worse is they've only had 20 of these cards though a small order is due today... i hope AMD's offering it as good or better i have my doubts but we can hope!

1253 in the Q you'll never see one ever.
 
Even if they start getting 100 a week, it'll be 3 months before you see one at a queue position 1200+
