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

I am curious how these LHR cards will work with AIB's. I read Asus have over 100 new sku's coming which is absolutely insane. One would think LHR cards will surely be cheaper than the FHR cards, but my thinking is it wont be the case, unless Nvidia are forcing the hand of the AIB's.

Loyal to the store but that hardly affects manufacturer in any way, as likely all of them will just cancel it and release new models with much higher prices. As is now, delivering it to people that bought it so cheap (in comparison to current prices) would be considered a loss for no real gain for them. As what will you do, go to competition? What competition if all of them will do it?

If that's the way it goes, I will not bother to upgrade until this whole fiasco is long over and will then be very selective where and from whom I shop with in the future. :eek: no malice to overclockers intended, they are held at ransom.:p

Why would you think that? Unless Nvidia charge a LOT less for the GPU (and we all know that's about as likely as rejoining the EU), the cards themselves will most probably have the exact same bill of materials, and hence, the same cost price.

I would think that because its a limited product, selling alongside FHR cards. My initial impression was the LHR cards would be replacing FHR, but now its been said they been sold alongside each other.

But yeah nothing surprises me in the gpu market anymore. The cost price of course is well below what the AIB's are charging retailers, so when I meant cheaper I meant closer to the cost price, I dont think for one moment Nvidia would be charging partners less for the chips.

We're being led to believe that the transition won't be instant and immediate but sooner rather than later the AIB's will be supplied with primarily, if not entirely, LHR GPUs. Nvidia seem ready, willing and able to keep all full hash rate GPU for themselves.

Since the product is aimed at gamers (Nvidia say miners should buy CMP cards) then they don't see it as limited at all.

Obviously, this is still just rumour and conjecture, we don't know anything for certain.
 
Ngreedia at it again! remains to be seen how much if ever their business philosophy/ ethics will be enough to **** everyone off! would be fitting, but we all know that they are leading their customers like lambs to the slaughter, until we have other gpu makers/ companies in situ, it will continue like it is. one day....:p

difficult thing to do.
New part codes mean having to edit orders, which for us is a manual process. To maintain queue positions means editing them one at a time and to do that for a few thousand back orders is well over a hundred man hours of work.
Then you have the issue that not everybody in said queues wants an LHR card, which means having to have a conversation with each customer. 'well over a hundred man hours' turns into nearly a thousand man hours. :(

as I've asked a couple of times already

For the record I have no issue being moved to the lhr variant :')

I just hope the lower qeueus get moved at least, I'm 23ish and the top position is like 30/40 on the aorus xtreme.. waited so long and gotten so close

That's why you need the second Delorean to jump back to rescue the first one :D:cool:

My ideal outcome at this time is that the card manufacturers create like-for-like models but with LHR appended. Then we get offered an option to switch to those.
Of course, the manufacturers now know, by backorder numbers etc., which cards are going to be more profitable so it's likely they will concentrate on those models and not even make a LHR version of the others.

Quite - the 3080s appeared to bin so well, they just pumped out OC versions. Expect that to continue with the LHR variants.

Lubricate, bend over and take a deep breath. Brace yourselves now! :eek:

LHR cheaper cards, lol. Nvidia will price them the same, demand does not change and supply does not change.

I expect they may even have realistic MRRP. And they may want to recoup the cost of designing the new silicon - which Nvidia will happily pass on to its customers.

On the plus side, I for one am glad they have at least made an effort to get cards in the hands of gamers. Let's hope the LHR cards cannot be hacked for mining. And lets hope the crypto crash carries on a bit longer.

"Nvidia will happily pass on to its customers"

You must live in another reality, Nvidia pass savings onto customers, that's a funny one.
 
Hey Guys,

I've managed to get myself an FE card so I'm cancelling my order with overclockers.

I was 113th in the Asus TUF non-OC queue as of last friday so anyone after that will move up the queue at least once place.
