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

I managed to snag a card from a competitor using Distil a couple of weeks ago (I can’t recommend it enough). Thought I’d come back to check what the situation is like and it really sucks that there’s literally no improvement. I feel for all you folks still waiting and I hope things start to pick up soon for you.
 
The feels when the card you randomly picked in the 30 seconds the site was working on launchday was the Zotac Trinity non-oc....

Hey at least it will be rare right?

What a joke. I take it these were the Trinity OC model that were for up general sale?. I have a regular trinity pre order elsewhere, I'm number 5 in the queue and they have been using all there OC stock that they receive to bring the queue down for the non OC for no extra cost to the customer. Just two totally different practices and I'm glad that I am on the other side of this mess.

I agree pal, ive been on the lsit for a NON OC Trinity since day one with little movement. would have been good customer service if when the OC Trinity was in stock with no pre-orders that they reached out to the NON OC Trinity (in order) and gave them 1st refusal before sellingat a high premium.

If only aye!......

This is misleading because getting stock elsewhere is EXTREME luck. Many of us are using bots that give updates within seconds of product going live and clicking through to store pages within seconds of them going live and stock is already gone in seconds. And of the thousands of people who are doing that very tiny percentage are successful. So this is just way out of alignment with reality, you can't just go to an EU store and get them, they sell out instantly. And on top of the fact that it's extreme luck you also need to have the time to camp on bots and click through every time they give out an update. Most people don't have the time or ability to do that all day. I'm in a lucky position to be able to do that and I still don't have a card.

This is rally super-duper-pooper simple. OCUK are offering a service. That service is completely voluntary. Some people want that service because it's the best shot they have at getting a card as quickly as possible.

You can wax lyrical about their ebil motives for doing it all you like, it doesn't matter. Some people WANT queues, OCUK are fulfilling a desired service by offering queues.

You do NOT speak for everyone here when you moan about queues, some people are glad the queues exist.



A year is hyperbolic. Loads of people have savings that exceed £700 and can quite happily have that money tied up and it's literally zero problem what so ever. By choosing to live so close to being broke with such little savings as possible is a choice you make and when you make that you restrict your ability to purchase things, that's your problem not mine.

The fact that the queues are 1000s' of people long should be good evidence that people want queues. If there was a better deal elsewhere people would take their money elsewhere.

Whilst i get your point i don't agree. By the time a lot of people move a significant amount in the queue here you will be able to buy one easily elsewhere. Money in their bank or yours is the choice. Personally i'd prefer to have my cash in my own bank :)

You use bots? then you will have noticed an increase in 3080s everywhere else. a competitor for example just got 3080 zotac for £779.99 that will arrive with them before the 30th nov (its normally much sooner). They have been there for just under 10mins now. The zotac is a great card. Its also the one ocuk had in stock here only yesterday at a way higher price.

If you want to queue then fair enough but i totally expect you yourself wont end up getting your card from here either. You run bots so you're clearly looking for an out and not just patiently queueing :p

The 1000s in queues ISNT a sign people like queuing lmao. Its a sign that people want the product and a queue place is the ONLY option when others dont have a buy now button. OCUK are openly exploiting this. Having the option to queue makes people feel like they will receive something soon. oc aren't even giving buyers the chance to see that the queues are MASSIVE ;)

An update from Asus:

https://twitter.com/ASUS_ROGUK/status/1327190079572422657


We understand customers frustration when Asus cards are seen listed as in stock on French and German websites because Asus fail to allocate stock correctly to regions.

The UK has a way larger pre-order percentage for amount of people, so fingers crossed we may see more numbers incoming from Asus to rival the likes of MSI and Gigabyte to the UK now.

Yeah, of course the UK has a way larger pre-order percentage. Because OCUK didn't shut off pre-orders like all other resellers did.
 
Well TUF 3080 OC is in my small clammy hands as we speak... on to Ebay..NOT!

I just hope my RM850 Power supply arrives soon, its shipped from a place other than here... I will try it with my RM650 first though.. Ohhhhhh I am all excited :D I do hope you all can join in the fun soon... its been a farce.
 
There goes Santa with his sleigh full of 3080's

Zero strix OC cards for over a week now and I thought things were going to improve lol

Over a week? There haven't been any Strix OC cards for three weeks now. If your queue position moved, it's because of cancellations only. Having said that, the Strix OC queue isn't even the worst.

The worst thing about this is that OCUK has been jacking up prices. OCUK is holding our money. But if OCUK is unable to deliver the order, and we wanted to buy another model, we end up having to pay the inflated price.
 
This whole experience has been worse than a legit retail experience where they try to up sell you everything in the store. Why can't AIB's just give all their stuff to Amazon who actually have customer service reps to help.

There has been At least 2 Strix delivery’s in last 2 weeks I’ve just received mine so don’t know where you pulled that from...
 
If anyone has preordered the Zotac amp holo. I just spoke to the rep at zotac UK. Apparently they do not expect cards to be delivered until December. He said and I quote you should have it in time for cyberpunk.
