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

I complained about the 12 quid i had to pay cos i returned a motherboard and canceled a 3080 and a ryzen 5 and this is the reply i got...
"A phone cannot tell the difference between somebody waiting in a queue, or speaking to an advisor - it's not intelligent enough to make that distinction. A call is a call as far as it's concerned.

Regards,

Liam F"

Next time i have to complain to ocuk i will be going to Newcastle-under-Lyme and doing it face to face and see if they want to try talk to me like they think im a child!

:eek:
 
Will save goblet,hidingasusguy and gigagone some time and update for them:

there are no cards, they don’t know when there will be and they can’t for some reason (NDA?) tell us why they don’t exist.

These should be dropping in massive volume by now and as we all know they are not.

Forced scarcity. They make them in the millions not the thousands. A single GPU wafer has about few hundred GPU's worth possible to be more given how small it's getting now and they produce tens of thousands of them in huge bulks.

In normal circumstances you may be right. Firstly, the world has gone through a pandemic where supply chains everywhere have been affected. Secondly, more and more people are working from home now, and this alone has pushed for people upgrading and or building new systems. Thirdly, the massive performance increase has pushed many who would typically skip a gen to also buy one leading to even more demand. At the beginning I thought the same thing as yourself, mate, and I totally get it. It feels like companies are screwing us over. However, Nvidia want to make money, and they can only do that the more chips they manufacture, which seems to be the issue. Demand is outstripping production. It was a recipe for disaster, when you take into account Golden week, pandemic, higher demand etc. I'd say the biggest issue people make would be committing to pre-orders, once they commit, they don't want to leave in fear of losing their place. It's a game of chance right now as to how it plays out if you opt for looking elsewhere.

3080 has never appeared in any volume anywhere else to be fair it’s not just OC. 3070 is pretty easy to get but you are paying the same as the 3080 msrp. Don’t think those msrp prices are ever coming back.

im noticing it's been very quiet across all my stock alerts for 3080's the last few days, like really quite.
Is this the signs of Nvidia shifting production towards the new cards on the horizon?

I think it's more the sign of online stores implementing measures against page scrapers and alert bots: I managed to snag a second 3080 this week for a friend from a store that was NOT preceded by any alert from the usual discord/telegram/bots channels
 
Normally people on here are talking about receiving their 'shipped' status emails by now on a Friday. It's been very quiet this week.

Is the consensus that little to nothing has shipped this week?

They usually arrive a little later in the afternoon. Last week's was around 4pm for me (MSI Trio queue).

I am expecting a dream amount of movement from my position of 38 to...

...38.
