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

[RobWaudby]

@Gibbo please confirm why the queue position for MSI 3080 Gaming Trio only dropped 7 when you say you sent out 10 card? Lots of people are asking. Thank you.

Check customer service forum I've asked this question waiting for reply.

Apparently he’s already “answered” it and I missed it. Not that it matters much as the answer was “I dunno”.

The FE from yesterday's batch has just been delivered! So happy I'm out of this race, good luck everybody, hope you all can get a card soon!

@GIGA-Man is there any news on the GIGA RTX 3080 gaming oc pal

 

[Zeed]

ah, gotta love optimism

Mate im 14th to card so got chance it lands before cyberpunk

@GIGA-Man @Gibbo @Illuminist since im bored enough came up with this

What You think guys will Gigabyte or Chinese EAGLE land first ??

 

[TrM]

oh, did they remove the code from new orders? i remember people talking about it like they were way back in queues and still were promised it on their order. im still 122 out on the gigabyte gaming oc queue and it shows up on my order, id be suprised if i get one lol

i can only talk about my order. I ordered a trinity oc card on the 22nd which only had the card on the recipt when i spoke to customer service they said they run out of codes and whilst i do qualify for it in timeframe they dont have any to give out and didn;t expect any more codes. So only the first x amount got them and it says on your order if you will get one or not.

I am currently snuggling up next to my shiny new 3090 FE, grabbed during yesterdays open window at a competitor. A wonderful shopping experience, with a confirmation e-mail for every stage of the purchase, live tracking of the delivery, and less than 24 hours in total, door to door.

Pay attention OCUK, this is how it should be done. If you lack the clout, don't attempt to punch above your weight. Many things are nVidias fault, but you are not blameless here.

That would be the unannounced, 5 minute open window.
Unless you have time to sit by your PC refreshing stock finders, telegram, and discord groups all day on the hope of being able to actually get an order through, it hardly qualifies as a "wonderful shopping experience". At least not for me.

It would be interesting to see if anyone who pre-ordered then cancelled got a code...Not that we don't have enough to b!tch and complain about as it is X-)

I see the other big UK retailer got a delivery of Asus 3080's today, no idea how many tho....

Hey Danny,

There is a small amount arriving next week (teens) with a larger amount due to arrive the week after. The amounts are now being increased but it's still slow progress, I'm unsure if the OCUK queue system includes PC back orders for these cards. You'd need to check with them to be sure.

all of that and ZERO mention of GIGABYTE EAGLE OC 3080... :-\ really loosing hope and faith now!

That was about the Eagles.

You get the code when your card ships afaik.

Thank you for the honesty, it is appreciated and helps us temper our expectations. I hope you're keeping well with all else that is happening in the world currently!

Don't think so, as codes are given by email when the card is shipped to the customer, not before.

some on the forum are saying the code was in the order, rather than in the shipping confirmation. Frankly I haven’t a clue, all I know is our order said it included the game.

Just to add an extra layer of complication, I assume the number of game codes available is per reseller, as all the competition still say the MSI cards come with the game.

Treading water like almost everyone else here I suspect.

About 40 judging from the outstanding orders. Some might be cancellations I guess.

Shame we don't know the distribution of them though between the four models.

3080 X2 is 20pc
3090 is 10pc

With our forwarders and should be with customs end of this week, if it clears fast will be with us next week. The rest of the 3080 X3/X4 should be collected late next week from HK.

given that I am 23 in line for a 4x what would you say the latest eta to me is? Thanks.

Just want to write thanks for the transparency today @Gibbo I have been critical in recent weeks regarding the lack of updates but todays one was much needed and is appreciated.

 

[OmniSnr]

I wonder if this forum would be just as busy if a lot of us weren’t working from home at the moment? I think I may have developed an addiction to my phone over the last few months!

Just because someone doesn't agree with how a company goes about its business does not make them entitled. Though I agree, continuously banging on about it shouting into the void doesn't really achieve anything. Being shirty with anyone below management is also pretty lame. People should take their business elsewhere, or... rightfully, add their opinion to the hat and then get in line and just wait for things to iron out.

I do, however, agree with the sentiment that the update posts today were long overdue and do not magically make everything better. These things should have been communicated earlier, rather than waiting until they absolutely had to address it all. As I said elsewhere in this thread, the damage has already been done in my mind and I doubt I can have my mind changed at this point so I'll be buying elsewhere in the future. That may make me unreasonable, sure, but I'm only one person .

Good stance to take, you don't agree with their practices which you have voiced and will take your business elsewhere all while being cordial. Exactly what the other person should have done. Personally I don't think todays announcement really changed anything, all it really did was confirmed what was already assumed anyway. Don't get me wrong I was happy just to have the additional communication, especially taking the time to respond to people in the forum was a nice addition. But it hasn't really changed the situation at all, yourself and others seem to have the notion that anyone is thinking everything is now magically resolved but I've not really seen evidence of that anywhere so I'm not sure where it came from.

People are showing gratitude at the announcement and communication but people with their pitchforks see people thanking OCUK/Gibbo and surmise their comrades at arms have somehow been placed under OC's spell. When in reality people are just being respectful and appreciating more communication instead of continuing to yell. Either way thanks for the rational response representing the other side of the argument.
