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

Honestly I'm like 99% that's false tbh. ASUS themselves said like 3 days ago that non-OC are in production. They're just being slow with it.

Then again, if it is discontinued I'm guessing OC would let us switch, which would be absolute mayhem but at least I could switch to an OC and actually get my damn card...

I would have no problems switching, but I would 100% be against people keeping their queue positions. It would suck, but why should the rest of us who are in a long line, be pushed back. Everyone knows what they signed up for and what card manufacturers they wanted. This isn't OC fault if they're discontinued.

Worth watching about ampere availability

I'm sure this guy has his figures correct, and I'm sure he is right about the 30K GPU chips being available, plus the timescales being late October for full flow of product, however I'm not sure his malevolent Nvidia explanation holds water.

On Friday iPhone 12 family launches, together with a whole slew of ancilliary Apple products. The volumes are mind boggling, Apple sell an average of 220 million iPhones per year and they build stock like crazy prior to launch. Add into the mix that Apple delayed its iPhone launch from September to October, a whole month, something Nvidia couldn't have known about with much real notice and then the fact that both of them use the Foxconn board stuffing factories, and there's a real good explanation as to why RTX3080 is in shorter supply than Nvidia might have wanted.

Nvidia and Apple aren't exactly friends and the two wouldn't have had any communications forewarning this situation might arise. Any company with limited supply is of course going to satisfy the most expensive highest profit options first, companies exist to make profit, and when that is squeezed by supply the logical reaction is to seek to maximise what is available.

Apple iPhone production will be falling back to normal levels hence RTX availability late October early November. His predicition of the price of the 20GB RTX3080 is entirely in line with expectations, or cheaper at the lower end which rather negates his malevolence argument.

You wouldn't be saying that if you was in that situation. Imagine waiting over a month for a card you ordered 20 minutes after the release and then after it never being in stock get told it's been discontinued. Would you want to join the back of a queue?

If someone is patient enough and is still happy to continue on their current gfx card then I guess? But it would be a ball ache for sure lol

Yes I would. I know what I signed on for with my manufacturer. If my card was discontinued I'd probably just refund and buy a 2080 until the whole mess was sorted.

I wouldn't have any other choice but to join the back of the queue. Do you know how many people have ordered that card? Do you know how many people would jump infront of others, pushing them back even further, maybe even weeks to months further and the fall out that would occur because of it? On one hand, you'd be helping others, on the others, you'd be sabotaging others.

Would you really be fine with 200+ people jumping infront of you, switched cards (granted no fault of their own), when you've sat waiting patiently? No you wouldn't and it's not fair. I get the situation, but it's not OCUK fault for the discontinuation and it's not any other persons fault on the forum and the rest of us waiting shouldn't be affected by it. No one made people choose Asus.

We should defand actual numbers not very small/small/average/whatever.

We should also demand to see the split between system builds/stand alone cards.

Cool... and what are you going to do when you don't get your demand? Go on strike?

It's not like we are spending £700 on a high price commodity that few people want... If you walk then 500 people are stood behind you willing to take your place.

It's precisely this sort of situation which is the test of a good company... how they treat people when they really don't HAVE to be nice!

This guy was right about many things about ampere already and he was saying stuff about terrible availability at lunch purposely created by Nvidia like 2 months before release.
I think he is right now as well. He have really good sources
