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

haven't heard anything about my zotac card in a while... things are sounding grim... at this point I would settle for a "we don't know" update.
 
This.
I've been building PC's for over 30 years and dont get the recent trend for putting glass panels on the side and lighting it up like Blackpool illuminations.
I tend to look at the screen when using a PC.

I know it's pathetic, I bought a case with solid side panels and turn all that **** off

This is exactly why I had no qualms with buying the PNY from competitor this morning. Some people say they didn't because it was ugly. I for one don't look inside my case unless I am cleaning it. As long as the components do what they are supposed to, that is good enough for me
 
Hey all,

I understand you're frustration, I'm trying to deliver as much info as I can so you have a rough understanding of what's being shipped.

I warned everyone at the start, that this would probably lead to people being disappointed and also warned not to get your hopes up. I get that you want what you have ordered but there is a lot of different factors to this situation, many of which I have tried to explain in detail on other posts here in the last few weeks.

GIGABYTE are in the same situation as everyone else, OCUK are also in a similar position along with other retailers.

Please do not use the information I am providing against OCUK or their staff.

I get many of you have been waiting a long time for your orders, I understand why this would make you upset in most cases, I am trying to let you all know estimated shipment dates and I will update you again ASAP.
At this stage im disappointed only at Gigabyte. Eagles ware suppose to land MONTH ago not a single one landed at ocuk with multiple posts that they are coming. If You say that afaik You know all orders been shiped only reason they are not at ocuk is that someone must have stolen that shipment and scalped it somehwere.
 
I'd always had purely functional PC builds until now, but I have to admit it's pretty fun actually building it to look nice.

I don't have a unicorn vomit theme though. It's a black and white build, case interior and MOBO is black, with white accents, white fluid in the pipes and any LEDs are set to white.

As for card I really don't care how it looks as I'm just gonna watercool it anyway, and they basically all look the same after that (except that beautiful EK founders block... but we can only dream for that)
 
seriously ? It gets worse and worse :D

just as well ocuk are cheaper than anywhere else

oh wait
You see thats how YOU and 9/10 people follow 3000 series information. That was stated oficially LAST FRIDAY THAT OCUK IS NOT GIVING NO COD CODES.

was that one with next week delivery ?? :)
 
Just missed out on an MSI Ventus from a UK competitor and some strix and tuf (including non-OC tuf... this is the second time in a bit over a week ASUS have sold these without OCUK getting any) from ASUS directly. How are people so fast... o.o
 
Breaking news:

Asus clarifies that the TUF in their TUF edition cards actually stands for Totally and Utterly Fictional and announces that all cards have been delivered. Any users who are not satisfied with the performance of their fictional edition cards should maybe try imagining harder.

:p
Have been imagining so hard but no, still not appearing in its pcie4 slot must be doing something wrong! :p

Take it up with the PR department at ocuk not me.. obviously their message isn’t getting through. They should also be pulled up on the wording or is that how you talk bruv ? :D

Your card went in a pre build mate , assuming they had that many,
I spoke with a Aorus rep who said ocuk had a delivery on the 30th October,
That would account for the "teens" amount that gigaman referred to the other week
 
Thanks so much. I need to call ocuk see if they are getting any. Wish me luck

Why have they made like 3-4 different OC cards for the same GPU? We already know that 3000 can't OC for ****. These are like tiny OC's they are making while making out they are major performance differences when in reality their really isn't.

Hmmm I didn't buy the PNY because of the reports about coil noise and burning smells!
