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

[BONDPlayz]

Mate of mine just got a pre built with MSI Suprim X 3080 and I9-10850K for £1800. Probably better to get a pre built if you are over say 50 in the queue

Not that easy for a lot of us who have systems made and ready or are upgrading an already built pc

What an ourtrageous response! Sorry, but you allowed customers to place pre-orders on unsecured stock not knowing if you’d ever be able to fulfil it.

You’re talking about enabling people to make cancellations, which is fair enough and you have done that, but OCUK have been so inept it’s unreal.

I mean, look at the two responses given ... in one breath you’re advising people to cancel their order and almost blaming them for not having done so already. In the other, you’re telling certain people not to cancel as they will receive a free upgrade.

There is absolutely no consistency in the levels of customer service being given and the whole management of this from start to finish has been appalling.

OCUK didn’t create the shortage, but Jesus they have created the **** show we are all in now.

What other response do you want? Yeah they allowed pre-orders for too long but you take 2 minutes to refund and it's your choice, they're literally doing everything they can and more...

I didnt get one last week which is normal for bank Holidays.. and I believe the gentleman who normally supplies the updates is enjoy a nice stress free week off... although he's probably dreaming of gpus qt this point the poor fellow... im sure once he is back next week he will do his best to send everyone an update! Hopefully GPU santa has been kind this week! Fingers crossed for you!

I upgraded to the G7 ready for when my card comes! I had another Samsung monitor that was 1440P 144hz before but didnt have G Sync! Also run two 1080p monitors as side monitors!

Ya the guy who does the updates was off last week for bank holiday and took this week off so no updates this week either

a humble 1080p 144hz monitor for now, planning to get a 1440p 144hz one (maybe even two) at some point though.

Sorry mate but at launch I read it was sub £1000 MSRP?

I paid £707.49 +VAT on the Asus GeForce RTX 3080 ROG Strix Gaming OC from OCUK on launch day got my card mid Dec

Paid £788 inc VAT mid January had it delivered 4 weeks later, TUF OC (not OCUK)

I just managed to purchase an RTX 3090 FE, which I am happy about often waiting nearly 9 months. But would swap it in a heartbeat for an ASUS RTX 3080 ti OC. ROG Nerd, sad but true. Also I don't think the FE will fit in my case.

Likewise, the 3080 TUF non-OC was my choice but now I've snagged a 3090 FE think it's probably time to reluctantly cancel that. Was hoping it would arrive so I could sell the FE, but I'm still about 100 in the queue.

I swore from launch up until the day I purchased it (last week) I would never buy a 3090 because it was so much money, but my PC build has been on hold for 9 months or so because I wanted to build my system all in one go. So when I saw the 3090 FE drop last week I broke and picked one up. Still not good value in absolute terms, but compared to the rest of the market it's a steal.

Exactly my thoughts, although I started losing the plot mid-April and looked around for AIB 3090's. Very glad I only spaffed for an FE!
It's quite a piece of work and so far I've had to get a bigger case, beefier PSU and will be doing the thermal pad upgrade today once my iFixit tool set arrives. Mem temps at the moment are 98C on 100% fan using a stress test.

Hardly fair, I think gladiatorial combat only, and weapons can only be picked from a selection of old PC components...

I chose an original Winchester drive, although I'm going to need a forklift to move the bloody thing!

I cannot see how Nvidia will have enough Silicon and Memory to keep up acceptable production of the normal 3070/80 GPU's.
People should consider joining a discord alerts and grab a 3000 FE GPU when they pop up.
I managed to get one very easily today.

I used a Telegram group, same principal, but there's a bit of prep work to do first to ensure you can jump the hurdles fast enough. Got mine on the second drop I saw so definitely achievable without a bot. I did go 3090 though, the 3080 are gone almost instantly.

I am in the 3090 queue and the only update I had was the week following the purchase. Still I dont think they have had any deliveries of the version I bought, so that ties in

I'd strongly suggest trying for an FE, drops are every 2-3 weeks and there's a good chance you'll get one if you do the prep.

I'm 18 for EVGA Black, ordered 30 minutes after launch. Should I just give up? Would suck to change card and be shunted to the back of a queue.

This guy has to be the king of scalpers, what an actual scumbag, look at the amount of 30 series GPU’s this guy has. I wonder how he got them all? Maybe he stole them

 

[fucheth]

well, the 3080Ti arrived today (was scheduled to arrive next Monday) so i just canceled my Asus 3080 TUF non-OC and free up queue position 484. Good luck with the wait.
The build I started in September is now completed, but somehow it doesn't feel the same...

I keep reading about the memory thermal problems, how easy is the pad replacement? Also where did you get your ifixit tool set from? Ordering the rest of my new PC today, very excited.
