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

[wavesoflight]

My wait is over, just got my Gigabyte Vision today (switched to it from the Eagle). It works perfectly! And Overclockers even tossed pack of Haribo sour gummies in the box, probably by accident, but made me laugh. Good luck everyone, and than you to the guys in OCUK for allowing the switch

How do you go about switching your preferred GPU? I'm 216 in the queue for a 3080 Eagle (ordered on launch day) and would take a Vision right now.

i did the same thing as that guy- i changed over to a gigabyte vision 3080 from a palit 3080 in march. i just asked them if they had any alternative 3080's in stock and they said they had some visions in stock. so they let me have that card with additional payment of course

Good to know. I use GPUs to render out image sequences and video using Octane Renderer. So I'm in desperate need for my 3080 and would be happy with any alternative right now.

Did you just contact customer support or an dedicated email address?

Exactly like StrixGaming said, I just sent them a webnote asking if going for a Vision was an option, and got positive answer. Of course, you have to pay for the price difference.

Before there's a massive influx of messages. This sort of thing depends on stock levels and the 3080 stock is currently dry as a bone. For example, we've had a grand total of two 3080 Vision cards delivered since March.

To be honest, i just got tired of waiting. i was 70 in the queue for palit 3080 in march, so just contacted CS via email and they offered me a gigabyte vision 3080 (£1099.99) which is not a bad price now considering scalpers on ebay etc. i'm suprised they even had them in stock, but im pretty sure there are no back orders on that card for some reason. the moral of the story is you dont ask, you dont get.

EVERYONE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICES NOW FOR A CARD SWITCH!!!

How did you place a pre-order?

You phone Dr Who and ask her to take you back in time to launch day, you can then place an order and get into the queue.

If retailers they kept the pre-order queue open the total back orders would probably in >300k across Europe and the UK. In the US one retailer has 1.5m in the queue for one line of GPU alone (presumably the 3080). Those orders will never be fulfilled keeping your money with OCUK when it could working for you and earning you more money is short sighted to say the least.

Oooh - let's melt the phone system. I'll take a dozen 3090s please! Oh, alright, just the one then...

Nah, you go back to when Nvidia floated, buy some stock and today flog it to pay the scalpers price... Playing the long game here

Ive seen statements like that numerous times now so I’d be interested in what you think your return on £850 would have been in the year - and when considering your answer keep in mind you still need to buy a card.

I have several investments which typically earn around 25 to 30% pa but they are fairly high risk. Higher risk still are some shares that have made me over ~300% last year but only because I took a gamble last March when “the sales” were on. The latter being a big exception to the norm.
So let’s say you could get 25% on your £850 you’d have around £1000 and no card. Note investments can go down as well as up.

Stay in the queue, you could get a card and sell it for a 300% profit or get the card you actually wanted to buy and save ~£1600
Worst case is you get your money back.

From my investments it may seem I’m a gambler but I know which odds I’d choose.

Personly I want/NEED the card.....my plan was to sort the vga out last year & then slap down 2 grand on rebuilding the rest of the rig round it for my birthday mid may this year.................wild plan that was lol


& as for investment...if i had put that £700 into bitcoin last september........what would it be worth now? I dont want to even think about it TBH.

If you had £850 now, would you still put it in BitCoin?
Thought not.

Any stock updates @Gibbo ?

You would have around £182,000 if you had dropped in on Dogecoin.
