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

“Very large” how many do we think this will be? Not trying to get ahead of myself here.

@Gibbo is this a combination of the delivery that should have turned up last week or actually on top of this delivery? Can you give a rough number on the cards you are hoping for?

If you've been here a few weeks you soon realise that ocuk's customer service leaves a LOT to be desired :( - They should take a look at how their competitors are doing. Especially now that the bubble of cash they're holding on pre-orders is shrinking along with their customer base as almost everyone is now looking elsewhere for their cards.


Its funny how eagles seem to be all over europe this morning and so do visions yet no sign of anything here as yet.

It's funny how I look all around Europe day after day and not seen those EAGLE anywhere. Must be ones from china i gotten deggo not Gigabyte ones.

I did the same. I ordered an hour after release on OC and nada for a month and a half. Meanwhile after using several discords and the Nvidia subreddit, I managed to order a card and it's due tomorrow. This was after trying for about 4-5 days.

how is this possible and where did you order from?
 
So, is the "very large" shipment of Gaming X Trio the same as the last alleged shipment or are they two separate shipments? The first mythical shipment doesn't seem to have been mentioned again, so I'm curious if Gibbon is just providing an update for an update.

To you and to all other "Don't like it, cancel" muppets.

If a company states ETA's as they did when many of us ordered and many of us ordered a card that we actually didn't prefer based on those ETA's, so we already lost money on ordering more expensive card due to implied availability, were forced to pay next day delivery rate that's ridiculously expensive in it self. When they damn well knew, it will be weeks at best, months at worse when they send the cards to costumers, they should at least refund those to everyone.

If you'd pre-ordered a new TV from Currys with ETA of tomorrow, you kept on getting fobbed of with pathetic information and told to come to your local shop to pick it up every few days and than discover it was a "mistake", "miscommunication", or some other nonsense, but kinda always made you feel like it was your fault and not theirs and that went on for more than a month. If than someone told you, you can cancel, so what's the problem, I'm pretty sure it would make your blood boil.

So in summary, yes you can cancel any time and yes the 3080 shortages are everywhere and OCUK isn't really responsible for that, but to imply that they behaved and still behave in a professional manner, because you can cancel anytime makes it all ok, is not only ridiculous, but also insulting. Detach your lips from OCUK's ass and look around you for a bigger picture.

Well said!

They claim this while competitors shipped out much more cards:
"NVIDIA has undoubtedly launched a fantastic and highly desirable product. We all wanted one too! Luckily, Overclockers UK is one of the biggest and oldest NVIDIA partners and we will be one of the first companies to get stock. We will fulfil orders on a strict first come, first served basis. We therefore suggest you keep your place in the queue to avoid future disappointment."

How is everybody this fine morning? Thought this little poem might brighten the mood:

The skies are blue, the sun is shining,
I came to the forum and see lots of whining!
You are all annoyed because you spent lots of cash,
And you have heard nothing but excuses and there has been a lot of backlash


All you can do is be patient and wait,
There is no need for all the anger and hate,
If you need it now, then try your luck elsewhere,
But if you are lazy like me then sitting in a queue seems quite fair


You will be so pleased when you FINALLY get your card,
You will appreciate it more because getting it was hard,
So sit back, relax, and get on with other stuff,
Your card will come, it will be more than enough


You will play your games at the fastest speed,
Just what you wanted, but more than you need,
The wait may have been hard, but you'll be amongst the elite,
No more excuses in the games where you compete,
Happy gaming, enjoy it, have lots of fun,
Until the next best thing comes along, and you'll be back to square one!

Haha :)

OCUK, what a load of bull... Can't even communicate with manufacturers which model of card is arriving.

Sounds like the initial one was delayed and the original "Large amount shopping 23rd with a small additional amount shipping 31st" has been conjoined into a single shipment which would upgrade it's status from "Large" to "Very Large"
 
"NVIDIA has undoubtedly launched a fantastic and highly desirable product. We all wanted one too!

More like keep your place in the queue to guarantee future disappointment.
 
I just love how competitor is giving daily updates on their deliveries and stock situation. Strange fact, competitor is getting EVGA/GIGABYTE cards on 30th October and 2nd November while OCUK is not getting a single card. How is that possible?

Well said. I've been quite vocal about how badly OCUK have handled this entire thing, but you have put it into words far better than I could.

I also feel like I should add "....we are in the best possible position to acquire it before every other UK retailer. This means the only place to preorder right now is at Overclockers UK!" to my signature :P

They are, I bet they are going in pre-builds...Hopefully @GIGA-Man will be able to provide updates soon on the Gaming OC cards. A competitor has cleared a hundred cards across the GB range since launch...
