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

[FxUK]

Yeah but I am gonna get more anxious and desperate throughout November. Don't wanna play Cyberpunk without it lol. Have a feeling it will run like crap with a 1080 ti at 4k. Need my 60 fps.

You and me both mate (and no doubt many others too)

At exactly one month after my order, I finally got a video card for my rig (work in progress).
The best £3 GPU money can buy!
At least now I know that my PC still works...

you may need a new PSU to drive that beast, no way is the RM1000 enough Horsepower

Still haven't received my queue position for the ASUS TUF RTX 3080. Probably going to cancel soon. I was hoping to keep myself in the queue while I waited and checked other sites to get it sooner but it's looking like these cards won't be shifting any time soon and even when they do it will be about 2 cards at a time

If their next shipment is 2 cards, I'm gonna be hella mad

It's better than deafening silence.

I am a long time customer of OCUK (look at my join date) and have bought almost all my major builds here. Have had no issue with them at all.

Until now...

Why still take pre-orders when there's no chance of fulfulling them in the near future?

And the cards they do get in seem to be, on some occasions, going into pre-builds. That is wrong.

The only reason for me to stick with them now is the free P&P. And I'm not even sure that's enough.

From what I've read somewhere on these forum posts, the mass of pre-orders allows them to bid for more cards or something.

Zero Haribo though, which is upsetting me.

Haribo distribution has been spotty of late!

3 cards a week instead of 2.

Another day of despair.

They say in the queue position Email: "We are working hard with NVIDIA and the graphics card manufacturers to secure stock based on the number of paid pre orders we have received." Or in other words they are trying to leverage supply based on the number of pre-paid orders they have.

And those 3 cards are for prebuilds.

@EVH @Space Monkey

Please, is there any information for on high, or can you prod them, we are losing long term customers at an alarming rate.
If there is no information can you tell us why no one seems to give 2 spits about any body here? Why are we treated worse than mushrooms, at least when kept in the dark they are fed

Info so far is that the store is dealing with it and that's that

OCUK are the best place to order Haribo, they have a special relationship.

Another day of despair.

I don't even expect anything more these days. But I still feel disappointment!

At least we have you

 

[Mr Oblong]

Well I am on a competitor website and why is it on a few of their cards they are able to give ETA dates on when more stock will be coming in?

Because they are better at getting stock, or because they care about transparency?

you are going to need to turn the fans around to blow some heat into it.

Aw shucks!

 

[Too Tall]

The store isn't dealing with it though.

We're basically in a situation where OCUK say the situation is if you want to be put in a queue (some times for a card which they have no eta for) then give us your money to sit on indefinitely.

If you don't like it cancel your order.

Along side that we will provide no updates and no apologies (that I've seen).

I'm currently at a point where despite politely asking for an eta none can be provided, not even a week, month.

I'm giving it a few more days to receive a reasonable update and explanation, if we don't get one ill cancel and take my future business elsewhere.

anything on pny?

Ahh the self licking lollipop, sell more to get more, but all the while the percentage remains the same or reduces. A Fools errant.

I have relized that my gtx 1080 is still a very capable card. I might cancel pre order, live on next gen console for a while and get rtx once dust settles down.
