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

Finger's crossed that the rumour about Nvidia creating an artificial supply issue are correct and the that the market is going to be subsequently flooded in two weeks are true.

It's a scummy move, although it's the only way many of us will see a delivery this side of New Year.

Just wanted to raise something I found quite amusing.

Check OCUK on Trustpilot right now and it's endless 1* ratings from people like us, mad at no communication about delays etc.

Check a popular unnamed competitor and it's a sea of five-star ratings, despite the exact same issues.

This is the difference communication makes to a customers happiness.

Honestly I doubt I'll be using Overclockers again after this recent shambles.. Even months ago when I built my PC I ordered off various different sites including some competitors and the Overclockers orders were the last to turn up, days or over a week late without communication. All my other orders came on time and when promised. Ended up getting my delivery charge refunded multiple times from OC. They just gave it the old COVID excuse, wasn't a problem with any other order from various sites.

In the queue for a 3080 MSI trio but might end up cancelling anyway and waiting on future releases, past caring with the situation now.

Oh my. I am few places in front of you for TUF. I dont get all that drama of people who are in top 100, really people. You know that your card will arrive on cyberpunk release or shortly after. We thousaners will wait a looooooong time.
 
My queue number for the Tuf non OC went down 120 places from 1203 to 1083. All cancellations by the looks of it. Nearly in the triple digits!

OCUK deserve plenty of blame. Especially on launch day when they had open listings with ETA of within the week for majority of the cards with zero hope of fulfilling them. Taking hundreds of thousands of people's money with no chance of fulfulling orders in a reasonable time.
The way they handled everything about these launches is a complete and utter joke so yes, they deserve to be blamed.

Yeah, I know what you are saying, but at the end of the day, they were all listed as preorder. I picked my card based on the ETA myself, but it was an estimation of when some stock was due in, not all the stock for the amount of orders they received. In hindsight, I'm sure they would have removed the ETA beforehand, but these things happen.
OCUK obviously aren't going to come out publicly and blame Nvidia for the **** show, but I bet they arent happy about it. Everyone is in the same boat, and OCUK are not a GPU distribution centre. They have other products to sell and the current pandemic probably isn't helping matters.
I'm not happy either, but it is what it is, like it or lump it, refund and spend all day stressing yourself out searching websites or wait until things calm down and it's readily available. That's the reality if it. The situation is bad for us, the mods, OCUK, but I was just saying that a 1 star review is a bit harsh based on a GPU sale that is ****** up because of Nvidia.

Card: ASUS TUF non-OC
Order Date Time: 21 Sep 2020 17:35:00
Position: 1419

I keep hearing patience is a virtue :D Sucks since I placed an order which was cancelled because of AmazonPay, and had to place a new order. OcUK honoured the original pricing, but not queue position.

Now:
Position: 1257

I guess all from cancellations.

By the looks of it TUF cards are getting shipped faster, we had like 12 shipped today apparently.
So I can expect my when? Maybe February or something?

You'll find they're annoyed because when they ordered, OCUK had the ETA of a week or less for their card and now they'll have to wait months.

1 star reviews are perfectly acceptable when they mislead, decieve and do not communicate clearly and readily with their customers. Act scummy and get the reviews to reflect it, it's that simple.
