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

If Foxconn are able to stuff the boards then the limiting factor will be the number of Ampere chips available and how Nvidia decides to distribute them. MSI and Asus both use Foxconn for motherboard stuffing and other electronics they produce.

It is 100% a shortage of Chips issue. Nvidias fault

Erm I've seen zero evidence to support that theory. On the other hand Nvidia are not the only ones suffering this way, Microsoft Xbox launch pre orders have sold out and they are in the same position as we are re new stock arriving.

Today is the launch of iPhone 12, delayed by a month by Apple. Build quantities are astronomical, they sell an average of 220 million iphones a year! This year it's 5G so higher sales are anticipated, and they've simply taken all the capacity at Foxconn with it. This is why Nvidia can confidently say card shipments will increase towards the back of this month and into next.

I've gone past disappointed and am well into mad. No 3080. No Jaffa Cakes.
 
Anyone beyond 1600 pos rejoice! You've been served and now you're all closer to podium for TUF non-OC.

I've cancelled my order. Collected card from other store which seems to have some delivers, which is rather wierd that whale like OCUK is falling and a golden fish managed to pull through.

Lesson learned - avoid ocuk during major launch events :P

Some other retailers are sharing their hopes and expectations, that is not what Gibbo said he would do.

I just spoke to a competitor and they get confirmation of stock for the next week or two for each AIB, which they share to the customers. Hopefully this translates fairly closely with OC stock so I can use their info for my order here as OC tell me nothing of use.

It's quite strange how Asus seem to be the only AIB affected by golden week. Unless they were shipping faster than everyone else and the golden week delay was felt sooner (i.e. this week) and others will see delays next week.

They are the only ones to have said that and it could be a junior staff member for all we know. There is zero other evidence to support this as a reason, and in fact Nvidia themselves say yields are good and the problem is not at their end (aside from blaming us the customers of course)

Nah, it's a bad idea marketing-wise to cut it close. If nvidia were trying to shut down big navi, they'd need enough cards for ALL current customers asap. The second those AMD cards drop, people will start to cancel existing nvidia orders and nvidia will be losing out more than if they'd just sent all cards to begin with. So, while it'd be nice to imagine this huge swarm of cards on the horizon, it wouldn't make sense for nvidia to take that approach.

that's my thought too. id say its more someone looking at the trend and saying something to make nvidia look bad for whatever reason. stock will increase slowly around november probably, and he can go look see! more stock, i was kind of right. the big drop was canceled bc we found out, etc.
 
I really don't get the 'Nvidia are withholding components to then flood the market when Big Navi hits' shctick. It takes a long-ass time to go from raw components to cards in people's hands. If Nvidia wanted to steal AMD's thunder (lol), they'd be getting 3080s into the hands of every man, woman and child right now.

If the problem wasn't at Nvidia's end, wouldn't there be more than plenty FE's available.;)

You do know Nvidia had an investigation into a leak at the boards manufacturers don't you? BYD manufactures the heatsink, Foxconn stuff the boards ! You are actually proving my point by using the FE !
