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

I walked into a computer hardware store the other day, booked visit mask on.
I then asked the guy if had any 3080s
The attendant said, sure, £1800.
I said really???? thats a bit steep. They are selling for £650 down the road.
The attendant said, why don't you buy from there then?
I told him they didn't have any.
He said, wait a minute, the price just dropped to £650.
I said, great, can I have one then?
He said no, they are out of stock.
 
There's no point saying how many spaces I've moved for the Strix non-OC because I know there haven't been any in. Just a handful of cancellations. Beginning to think something fishy is going on. Nvidia, Asus and OCUK can't all be this incompetent. They knew Ampere would be a frenzy of demand at this price point, and they've kept promising that production would be ramping up and November would see loads more cards coming in but there's been no definitive word of any on the way. I wonder if there's something wrong with the inherent design and that higher end manufacturers are intentionally keeping quantities low because they don't want to have to handle large numbers of returns, or maybe they were so petrified of AMD kicking their arse on the benchmarks and everyone cancelling orders that they held off full scale production until the scores were in.

Of course there's something fishy , Oc probably sitting on a lot of cards . I got my ventus for 650 now that's been put up by 100 while the 3070 is priced to what I originally payed. I'm really starting to believe they want more cancels at the lower prices . 100 cancels is an extra 10,000 in the bank . The rest speaks for itself . I don't want to point fingers but I'm honestly tired of all the lies
 
if it was palit, zotac or one of the smaller AIBs, you could imagine them having trouble with the logistics of getting their cards out, but with ASUS it doesn't make any sense at all. they are probably the biggest player in the AIB game going by market cap and manufacturing/shipping infrastructure but their queues are moving the slowest (if at all).

i agree, something doesn't add up. it's not just an OCUK thing either, certain other retailers with outstanding pre-order charts show that while MSI, gigabyte and ASUS all had fairly similar numbers of orders initially, ASUS now have nearly twice as many to fill.

they had a delivery 2 weeks back
 
Not sure if anyone will know the answer. In Gibbos update yesterday he stated they had not yet received the last gigabyte shipment, which included a very small amount of Visions. I moved from 7th last week to 4th this week. My assumption being they got the very small shipment today with 3 maximum?
 
Out of curiosity, when did you order the Palit? Was thinking of jumping on that queue. or the OC version (as the excel spreadsheet suggests its smaller)

I ordered the card on launch week, precisely 21/9. First queue number was 80 on October, then moved all the way to today, which is 27.

They received the 3 visions on Wednesday with some Aorus masters, the shipment Gibbo mentioned should still be due in
 
Is it me, or is it pointless posting que drop numbers? As most of these will be cancellations.

You could have been 300th in the queue, then drop to 10th in the queue due to 290 people cancelling, but if no cards come in, then you will get diddly squat.
 
I believe Overclockers are hoping many people will believe their reduction in the queues will be due to deliveries and not the reality which is cancellations. As others have said your position in the queue is meaningless if no deliveries are actually happening for your card.

Almost all of the ASUS 3080s are going to the US, hence why we haven't seen any, the EU is being sent some of the overflow of 3070 and 3090s since they are in less demand in the States.
