• Competitor rules

    Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.

*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

If people keep discussing or hinting at competitors this thread will be locked again. We have warned people enough times and it is even in the thread title. Read the forum rules if you are unsure. As a recap I have posted the relevant information from the forum rules below.

We, Overclockers UK (OcUK) are happy to provide the resources of these forums to responsible individuals without charge. They cost a substantial amount of money to maintain and use considerable amounts of bandwidth which is paid for exclusively by us. As you know OcUK are in the computer hardware business and therefore the promotion of OcUK's competitors is forbidden. Examples of promotion are :-
  • Posting links to direct competitors websites (i.e. other computer e-tailers)
  • Posting links to computer related products at general retailers (e.g. Amazon, Argos, Tesco etc)
  • Posting links to reviews that promote competitors
  • Quoting the names or contact details of competitors
  • Offering to provide the names or contact details of competitors
  • Hinting about product availability at competitors and their pricing
  • Using the forums to notify a member of intent or actual supply of names or contact details of competitors
  • Listing competitors names, URLs or e-mail addresses in signatures
  • Listing competitors names, URLs or e-mail addresses in profile
  • Posting links to or the mentioning of auction sites
  • Disguising attempts to do any of the above
Let's not go down this route

PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR CARDS THAT NEVER COMES!!! WHERE ARE OUR INNO CARDS?

NO UPDATES AT ALL FROM OK UK.

WHY IS THAT PROBLEM IF WE WANT CARD FINALLY?
 
I dont understand why are you so protective over mentioning the competitor websites, is it because they offer cheaper prices? Or the fact that they are giving bunch of gifts with new gpu’s... we are all here because we truster you with our money and all we can do is sit patiently waiting for our que to come up, while competitors take strong control with decent updates, larger stocks and better support. So please dont blame us for looking
 
honestly, at this point, i'd just want this thread locked down since it's not really being used for the purpose it was originally opened for...

Definitely because of price, especially on 3090 cards as OC seem to have used scalping prices

I fail to see how OCUK are losing out in this case. They have more pre-orders than they can possibly service due to the lack of stock they are receiving. If they lose one buyer, the another is just going to move up the queue. very few people are going be willing to wait months to have their card. the OCUK orders are mostly just a backup plan in case they can't get it elsewhere. Having said that though, I do respect the fact OCUK pay for these forums, so if they choose to disallow this specific activity that's up to them. Alienating customers be enforcing this rule may not be the best plan of action though. People are already annoyed at the handling of this.
