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

[WesleyBurns]

So far everyone is using AMD scare tactics. One thing stays in question will AMD have stock ?? Seems everyone forgotten that AMD is uning tsmc 7nm FOR
PS5
NEW XBOX
Zen3
Epyc
Threadripper
Laptops

Basically for EVERYTHING. And I'm 1000% sure CPUs and Consoles have priority over barely alive GPU department.

It will be interesting to see! When is the release date anyway?

 

[Needles]

What!? Are you on the same planet? Yeah, they are honouring those prices, building up a large stack of cash, but not honouring the goods!

I mean I am as anxious as anyone for their card but there is very little to no stock and thats not OCUK fault.

They aren't withholding your card.

Correct, not withholding, just shoving them into pre-builds and giving a few to staff/mods to scalp on the bay

Please stop with the lies, mods at least haven't been given any priority!

They can't honour stock that has been ordered but not yet dispatched. They are not alone or unique in having insufficient stock of these cards.

 

[Dis86]

They would have ordered from their suppliers at those prices. No money is being lost.

No. Let's say that they placed orders for 400 units but receive 800 orders...what do you think happens?

Very quiet on MSI Ventus 3080?? Any news anywhere?

There is no date. You will find date on 28th im thinking December

Hard to get something that does not exist

Carry on and we'll see where your account will land

Not sure if you've noticed I'm a mod, I asked about pre-ordering etc and was told that I had to order like the rest of you, so no, we don't get priority treatment!

 

[Bazz21uk]

And who's going to pay back the interest on my credit card which I already paid off?

Some proper brown nosers I hope.

It looks like I'll repay the card before I got it

Unfortunately your choice of payment is that, your choice. Nobody has any liability for that other than you as you chose to use that method of payment.

I think its wrong that OC are holding peoples money but they're not responsible for any interest you owe. You made that commitment when you purchased the card. You will at some point get the card and the interest you paid identical whether you got it now or later

I think it was removed pretty fast, I mean the entire site was going down constantly all day during launch day because of the extreme number of people hitting the page trying to order.

They managed to adjust price northwards quite easily between crashes i thought. They should have removed ETAs at the same time. When i ordered the price had already increased yet the ETA was still there. I'm sure this was more than an oversight tbh.

There's no evidence so far that they've given pre-builds priority, there has been prebuilts ordered they've admitted this, but have confirmed that prebuilds that contain these cards are queued also. Staff orders, I dunno probably staff got first pick, I couldn't care less about the handful of people that work for OCUK even if this did happen, a few card does not matter to a queue of thousands. Are cards elsewhere getting faster? No the evidence so far is that for most of the popular brands the queues are falling at about the same rate, it's something you can track with some competitors (and I have). They're all fullfilling their preorder queues prior to making them generally available which is why there's zero stock anywhere and wont be for months until the queues clear.

There's plenty of evidence they're giving pre-builds priority. There's the fact that builds have been dispatched. I know of a couple that people have ordered purely for the gpu and they received within a week despite ordering after the 17th. They have received the card much quicker.

Some people say its oem stock yet OC offer the boxes so this theory is out the window too.

There's the lack of clarity and numbers that don't add up when cards do come in.

Finally, one of the mods has confirmed he "thought" it was the same stock and was split. This suggests a seperate, shorter queue for pre-builds.

There's more money in it for OC if they sell a pre-build. Its not fair on us but for a business its a no brainer from a purely financial point of view.
I agree that morally its wrong and that OC are alienating regular customers doing this but their MO appears to be greed and short term gain without much long term thinking. That is their choice and nothing wrong with that. A lot of us will be voting with our wallets after the dust settles

 

[Complex86]

Who else remembers when we were told production was supposed to ramp up in mid october and deliveries were supposed to be plentiful.

 

[DexterMorgan]

Ok lads. Who has received the TUF non OC during the weekend?

BTW on Asus diy Facebook I can see so many people received their 3080 Strixes..
Shame shame

 

[Ghillied]

Suggest buying glasses besides 3080 if you cant see Pinned thread

Hmm yes the "OK amount" of cards is very informative and no estimate on when they'll even get any more, Like competitors are already doing

 

[mrozik]

S is cancelling all orders not sure why saying "multiples" even if you bought 1 xD

But is that what a person with a priority treatment would say if they were on a priority list? Wink, wink.

 

[xTeCnOxShAdOwZz]

What the hell is going on here? Why are people so upset that they haven't got their card yet? I'm patiently waiting for my 3080, I'm angry at Nvidia for not handling their stock better, but that's life. Suck it up, buttercup, stop pretending like this is suicide inducing, we're all literally here to play games. Every retailer in the world is as limited as OCUK is, suggesting that any of this mess is their fault is insanity. If so, you'll also have to explain why the other thousands of retailers are suffering the same issues. Just stop being so dramatic lmao, it's a god damn PC component. Yes, you've spent a lot of money on it, but OCUK can't magic cards out of thin air

 

[Bazz21uk]

Dont forget that special hand shake

I used to work somewhere like that and we had to order just like the public. We were given discount codes and priority treatment though. I'd be surprised (and dissapointed) if OC didn't look after their staff like that. In the grand scheme of things a few staff getting 3080s isn't going to upset the picture much (if at all)

What ? TBC, tbc,tbc ,tbc and n/a. Wowwww what amazing communication that is, not.

Its like there’s a few hundred trumps in here that will only accept info on a pretty graph or table.
That table says absolutely f all about amounts. At least in here, we have a rough estimate of how many are incoming each time.

As for another main competitor they have no queue system at all.

so yeah I’m quite happy at how oc are handling what is 100% nvidias fault and I’m very happy I’m in a queue rather than having to waste time every day trying to find one in stock..
at the end of the day Nvidia aren’t providing aibs enough boards so the aibs can’t produce enough, the distis aren’t getting any info bar tbc from the aibs so what exactly is oc supposed to do when distis say sorry mate no info today?

if there’s no update in the update thread then guess what, there’s no update. It’s not rocket science. Oh and if you are freaking out about a bit of pc equipment , cancel the sodding order.

cheers
