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

[martind]

Who really cares though, it’s not like discussing competitors is a bad thing it’s not like it’s going to ruin their business, besides these companies probably make lots of money from selling all these expensive PC Components !

unreal! don't think you get it do you, it's the rulez!

 

[Freakaknight]

There you again
You're really......... dragging.......this.......out.

to be fair its a conversation so meh, though probably not the right page for it ><

What I don't get is how the current advice is to keep pre order but "look elsewhere too" shouldn't be "sitting on your hands"

So really it would be great if we could discuss competitors and where else we can look considering that's the advice from staff >< Though i feel they have been lax with enforcing the "hinting" especially so, maybe they have taken this into account

But w.e, hopefully I'm pretty close now ^^

If that's you're best retort.......

To be fair, he could have picked up on your misuse of “you’re”

The no competitors rule stands. This is not up for discussion.

Yeah I don’t see what’s the big deal considering the GPU shortage atm. It’s always better to discuss other things. Advertising other companies stuff I understand, but I don’t see an issue about talking about other competitors in general. For example talking about an overpriced GPU on another retailers site

Edit: for some reason can’t post more than 15 posts in 24 hours? Why

Edit 2: ok, was trying to make a thread to for private conversations can’t even do that either is it won’t let me

Absolutely.

It's a rule that has been here since day 1 of the forums, which means that if it was a person in the US it would probably be heading to the bar for a drink after dealing with the thread.

And how would I go about doing that?

Fill yer boots young man. It's a private conversation.

In the event I never hear from you again, all the best.

BTW please don't mention I sent you

I would like to advise you that you are a new member, only just signed up, and you should familiarise yourself with the rules.

That is the 3080 price buddy

That was the price they were going for on OCUK in May, the last time I looked and they had them in stock, 3070 = £1200 - £1300.

 

[CrazyGreggy]

Given you can get a 6900XT for just north of that figure, you'd be better off doing a couple of extra hours overtime for a week or two and raise your sights/budget.

True, but his grammar was already picked apart by someone else.

Can't believe this all started with me trying to help a poster by getting them to remove competitor references

I don't think there's any hope for this one

Also, as you've just joined it's worth checking out the rules.

Under committed it says 15.0/21.7 GB this is whilst Fortnite is open and msi afterburner too. What do u think I should do. Stay 16Gb or go 32GB

Windows starts swapping at around 30-50% physical ram utilisation.

I think you need more ram personally.

Damn, saw a 3080 for £10,000.

Good luck all. Wish I'd had the foresight to pre-order...
