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

So cancelled my Aorus Xtreme and could not bare not being in my therapy group :D
So I ordered the Vision OC today and am around 80th in the queue or so I was told on the phone by a helpful OC chap (will know exactly next week with my emailed position)
It will fit into my build like a neon bible but I care not a jot, its out of place-ness will forever remind me of the GFX wars of 2020!
The smallest queue I was told was the Zotac line - but since I expect to see Nessy before those cards I skipped that option

it's nothing to do with interest. If you are a business and you have a say 500k overdraft, how much interest do you think you will be paying on that? well if you take 800k or more off your customers and stick it in your account you haven't got an overdraft have you, zero interest at the rate the criminals in the banks charge, so would you be in a hurry to return all that money??

The amount they have taken in will vastly exceed any overdraft they are likely to have had, the motivation to keep taking orders has far more to do with being in a position to commit to order volumes greatly exceeding the competition which will pay off in major style during November as the volumes of cards in channel surge considerably.

Same reason nobody should be calculating their deliver time based on the pitiful volumes shipped so far.

What we see by November will be very different from what we are seeing now.

Oc is owned by case kings.de and they had a turnover last year of 75 mil US

This week im 817 from 854 in the TUF Gaming OC queue, at the current rate I should get my card in late April.

What really melted me today is an American pal registered for an EVGA card notification/allotment(from a competitor) last week and received the email to complete their purchase today.

I haven't figured out why some people don't get queue updates, but I got one last Thursday and then again today, both samer number.

I was given an update where I reduced by 1, a cancellation I'm betting. When the queue update is sent out, they probably email everyone in the product list.
If you had a ventus email without a number change then someone higher up might be the canceller.

Tiny Tom put up his strix video today, apparently there's only a single review sample for the UK and it's being shared.

I was criticised for calling this a paper launch but come on now, this is thinner than paper. It's the worst launch in modern history.
 
well in almost a month... ive gone from 2nd ... to 2nd... Keep your heads up EAGLE OC 3080 ... I know its very tough!! everyday coming here with no news , and pretty flat banter at best.... :D Just want the bloody cards to come for everyone before Cyberpunk and Watch Dogs Legions..... Just wanna join the RTX ON club..... HappyWaitingYalll
 
Went from position 371 to 352 Gigabyte 3080, a friend has ordered with a competitor and has gone from 103 to 103, but the expect to fulfil orders by end of November.

I would cancel but was lucky enough to get it for 650..

hopefully, big Navi brings out something reasonable and I’ll switch...

I went from 600 ish to around 570 ish. So if your position didnt shift then i guess nearly 40 people cancelled in the last 2 weeks. Im going to wait 2 weeks until the delayed Eagle shipments drop and see how the positions change before i consider cancelling.

Did anyone get any order shipped notifications from Wednesday's Palit shipment that was mentioned on Gibbo's thread? I hope the shipment is just delayed until Thursday or something otherwise that means I am out of that loop once again. :/
 
I got my Quest 2, and now I'm just waiting for this 3080 to arrive and I can finally get back to VR gaming. 2 months without a graphics card has taught me a very valuable and very brutal lesson. I am never idiotically falling for the hype again and I should always trust my judgement, especially when I base it on clear and thought out logic.

It appears as though they've taken our suggestions onboard and have adopted a weekly update rather than sporadic "when your card type has dispatched update" If your queue number hasn't changed or it has and nobody has mentioned a shipment then chances are its a cancellation. In all fairness it doesn't matter why you move up in the queue, its just nice to see that you're getting a little closer :)

Expecting a boat load of cancellations if AMD's Big Navi is competitive with the 3080.

I think thats wishfull thinking. I don't think amd will bother nvidia much. nvidia knows it has the better card this round again even if amd are catching. That said there's a lot of people that want their cards NOW lol so if amds offering is close enough then it could sway some people. More likely to get cancellations if people can snag a 3070 imo. My thoughts are that a lot of people went for the 3080 because it was released first and they didn't want to wait for the 3070 that they were originally considering.

... and CaseKing is majority owned by Gilde Buy Out Partners, the chain goes on :)

Yep. lot of money in the group so should put people that were concerned about losing money at ease. I found it quite amusing that caseking aren't taking pre-orders yet OCUK are lol. I also noticed on stock informer OC put the 3080 OOS and then back on pre-order to get its name above a competitor on updates lmao. Its the small things :P
