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

[DanielSon]

if 3080 ti does show up next month for under £1000 and some availability (pigs might fly) I might be tempted to bite. price to sell my 1080 ti has gone up a lot in the last few months so helps reduce the sting. or ill just keep waiting for Asus TUF non OC in position 404 now and it will be low cost upgrade if it does arrive one day. 4k 120 Hz screen so will make good use of the performance of either card.

562 position could potentially be another 12 months. Good luck to the rest of you that are sticking it out.

Assuming its linear which it probably isnt. Most companies are reporting quarterly in some way, they'll want to sell as many as possible and report those results. I presume thats the ultimate latency in their reaction time

i do my bit daily by placing fake bids on the auction site for ALL the RTX 3080's available making sure none of them get sold.

Brilliant, did anyone write a bot to search and auto-bid them to the moon yet?

I have to admit, I generally avoid the place like the plague, but aren't there any genuine sellers on there any longer?

I wonder that too, had a look to see if I could pick up an old card to tie me over but regret ever looking. Its a mess

 

[Mongole0]

Yea, it's a tough one. I am lucky that I have a decent card in my PC that I just carried over to my new PC. So I am hardly struggling. That means I can patiently wait.

Same here. The reason for my upgrade was that I needed a second machine. I decided to SLI the original rather than go TITAN at the time I built that system so I could "borrow" a GTX980 and have both machines running. It is a great card and have not had any issues running anything.

Yes of course, but not selling 30 series cards for obvious reasons.

I had a look there today and it's weird there are listings there that look like a decent price and when you click on it they don't exist and the ones that do are way over a grand and i don't think it's morally right for people who have these cards to sell them at inflated prices with fake stories like "i just got a 3090 and that's why I'm selling this brand new 3080 i got from XYZ complete with the receipt/warranty for the fair price of eleventy five thousand shekels" even though they paid about £850 for it.

Hi, can anyone advise? if the free game was Watchdogs Legion that was free with the 3080, will that game change to a more up to date game when we get our card?

@Gibbo @ScottiB

just out of curiosity, if I paid for the 3080 via finance how is this refunded by OCUK? I was maybe thinking of using the refund to buy a chip and board. Would probably settle for a credit note as well if your systems allow for such a thing?

I think that offer code expired at the end of November and I don't think they add new games so unfortunately you just lose out.

I thought that would be the case, but i also thought that Nvidia would have a different offer on at the time and it would ship with another code. Wishful thinking lol. Can anyone confirm who has had a recent card delivered?

The promos are usually there as an incentive to buy Nvidia cards, with demand being so high they don't need to worry.

Nvidia usually show current promos on their website, if there isn’t one there then it’s highly unlikely there is one.

As scummy as those people are, the people who give them money are worse.

For an order that hasn't shipped yet. We refund the deposit and the finance is cancelled. The finance company refund anything paid to them. Finance companies can be quirky about us changing the order. I'm not actually sure what the situation with our current provider is.
