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

[Bazz21uk]

I left a review for a competitor after they also mucked me about - increasing the price they wanted for the card after placing order. Published my review on Trustpilot and retailer challenged the review stating it was false and that i was not a customer and it was taken down - so i sent proof of transaction with the competitor to trust pilot who reinstated the review. I was amazed by the cheek of the competitor to attempt to get my review taken down

i bet OC wouldn't mind you naming that competitor lol. They're all the same to a certain extent but at least the others aren't still taking orders. Thats what really urks me tbh.

Have just now cancelled my TUF order here. Managed to get one from elsewhere last week, delievered on Sat.
Very happy with it.
Very unhappy with OC's lack of comms.

Where did you ordered it? Because every other retailers are saying that it's out of stock

It is illegal in the UK to increase the price at the checkout after the customer has bought it at the advertised price

Sorry, we want to build enough cards but there is just not enough stock. It's going to be at least two weeks before more Eagle land into the EU region.

At least your providing feedback and being honest dude. It may not be what I wanted to hear but at least its not lies and deceit.

Hey, you're finally awake @GIGA-Man

So Nvidia caught everyone out including you?

Right on time for the 28th when AMD announces RDNA2. Coincidence much? Same thing with Nvidia's launch of the 3070.

 

[BurnieJNR]

Why are only OC cards getting shipped in? ASUS confirmed the cards are produced in equal volumes. ******* me off everytime they get a delivery. Are OC even bothering to chase for any non-OC cards from ASUS?

Thanks for the update. Does this also apply to the AORUS master?

And the Gaming OC

Two weeks????

How? TUF has one of the longest waiting lists and hardly any stock was sent last week due to Golden Week, meaning production lines were shut down

Mate I literally did the same thing, bought all my parts to build not knowing the scale of how bad this launch was... can I pair my 1060 with an i9-10900k or will I run into some serious issues haha

No you won't have any issues

 

[phrisK]

Maybe I'm past bargaining and into acceptance. The whole launch mess aside what we have now is a ticket we paid for to get a card at some point. There is no information that can be relied on as far as I can tell (mainly placebo information). The options are stay in the queue and hope or quit and take your money.

We know there will be more stock, just not when
You can wait for your supplier to get some and meet pre-orders
You can chance your arm with the few that get through to direct sales from various suppliers
We also know the 3070 is coming, which may make things better or worse

There is very little certainty and a lot of speculation.

Stay in the queue or get out of the queue I see no value in complaining, other than venting. You might as well complain about the rain.

1. Denial and isolation
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance.

I too have moved to the Acceptance phase of this fiasco. I've come to accept that this is not OCUK's fault, it's not the Distributors' fault, nor the AIB manufacturers' fault.

This is soley on Nvidia & Samsung - and I strongly suspect there are NDAs in place choking any reasonable information from reaching us consumers...

What number of GPU cores are typically manfactured by Samsung/TSMC at normal production volume? Are we talking 100s per week? 1000s? 10s of 1000s?

As time moves on it seems more and more likely that Samsung are having trouble manufacturing the GPU cores themselves and Nvidia are using NDAs from the top down to keep everyone quiet.

Why else would AIB Partners be so cagy about shipment details?

MSI's tatic on twitter has been to pass the responsibility down to Retailer to explain - knowing full well they won't have a clue. Companies like OCUK just put an order in with their Distributor, but the Distrubtor knows they're not recieveing stock, and the AIB Partners that they Distribute stock for probably aren't allowed to discuss numbers or dates because it'll violate their NDA.

Nobody, aside from Nvidia & Samsung know the full story and are intentionally keeping everyone quiet for their own PR.

An honest update whilst limiting expectations. That's all we asked for. Thanks

I partially dissagree. OC have handled this terribly. The issues now are their fault (lack of updates/comms etc). These are things they control. We all know there's shortages. What we want to know is what OC does. If cards arn't expected till december then they know and they are choosing not to share

#54 in the queue for the Strix non OC 3080. The total lack of news relating to this card is starting to get a bit worrying.

It'll come eventually but it could well be next year, depending on your queue position.

 

[PrincessFrosty]

I know I'll never buy nVidia card again. For this kind of practice they did from now on I'll stick with AMD

Trully pathetic market manipulation at its best. Don't blame AIBs nor retailers for stock shortages its not their fault. Ever wondered why MSI was scalping its own customers? Why so little stock is available and now nVidia decided to stop selling their FE cards? Please spread this link wherever possible to let people know what is going on.

https://youtu.be/SxtfNcm45xk

That video is full of absolute nonsense. Nvidia do not benefit from irritating their customers, they do not benefit from AIB/retailers price gouging. The FE coolers turned out to actually be some of the worst and so far there's no real obvious signs the FE cards had significantly better binned chips, port royal hardware specs confirm all the overclockers are using AIB cards to get their high scores, of the top 10 scores only 1 is with an Nvidia card.

If you think the AMD launch is going to have super availability then I'd revise your expectations quite frankly.

Where did you go instead?

Well considering no other sites are taking pre orders and any stock they will receive is already spoken for I imagine fleabay
