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

[Nigel Franklin]

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.

@GIGA-Man Thanks for the information. I have bought quite a lot of Gigabyte stuff over the years. Of the 8 PCs in this office, 6 have gigabyte motherboards for instance. I have always found you a reliable company which is why I wanted a gigabyte 3080 for my son. I have been regretting this over the last few weeks as we were being told that you are not sending any 3080s to OC.

Over the past few weeks 5 gaming OC and 1 (yes 1!) aorus card have been dispatched and nothing else from gigabyte. Correct me if I am wrong anyone if I have missed any. If you sent any more than that they have disappeared into the ether. We have been expecting Eagles, not a single eagle has been dispatched since launch! We seem like the only place who have not received eagles, but you say that what you told us would be delivered has been and that there have been weekly deliveries?

Can you tell us what models have been delivered since mid October please and an approximation of how many of each.

For your approximations maybe use Gibbo's code below.

Very small = Less than 10 units
Small = 10-30 units
OK = approx 50 units
Large = 75-100 units
Very large = 100+
Dream = 250+

Thanks again

I truly hope they will send items that are in stock first then the pre-orders when they arrive lol, surely that would be the best lol

Maybe ring them to make sure mate

 

[NecroSavant]

Maybe ring them to make sure mate

Yeah, will give them a ring when they are open

 

[John Harris]

Yeah id agree its not a looker but looks aren't that important to me, i have a Eagle on preorder here and thats pretty ugly imo too. It was however slightly more then i wanted to pay for a card, but with the second lockdown and Brexit coming id prefer to have it in hand sooner rather then later.

Exactly this - I know this is heresy, but the PC is under the desk and I never look at it - the card could like like a badgers todger for all I care - so long as it does what it's meant to without exploding.

Agreed, I take my PC out every few weeks to clean, apart from that I never see it and don't care what it looks like. PNY ordered from competitor, just waiting for shipping confirmation.

Every few weeks? Don't you have filters or anything?

 

[NecroSavant]

Yeah, will give them a ring when they are open

Just called them and they said that everything will come together, so will wait until i see what number i am in the queue and then decide if i keep the order going or cancel it.

Yes but I am a bit of a clean freak.

 

[Slixy]

Yes but I am a bit of a clean freak.

Nothing wrong with that.

What do you use? Compressed air? I like to use a paintbrush but always worry about static build up.

 

[dazzlaa]

how come I cannot start a convo with you??

mods have probably removed my message access because I managed to find stock elsewhere and have spoken about it.

 

[CMason]

On the filters I use compressed air and a small brush, on the components themselves I use compressed air, paper towels w/ rubbing alcohol and q tips

Or because you have not enabled it in your settings.

Hopefully some 3080 Ventus movement this week given updates

 

[Gaben82]

Look at the dates something wrong there. Very strange.

nah, have had private messages before. Having checked I can actually message other people, just not the original guy who commented. Sorry mods

amen!

I'm waiting for a eagle, but I think the inno crew are not impressed with the wait time, hopefully I'm wrong for you

 

[Just-Dave]

Edit: Never mind information just changed, apparently no eagles have been received since the 21/9

 

[CMason]

PNY preorders on competitor are down again, seems like they stop pre orders when they have reached their allocation limit so they can actually fulfill orders. Fancy that eh?

 

[TheBB88]

@GIGA-Man ,it was confimed on discord that OCUK have received 50 units of gigabyte 3080 since the 15th of October, 9 of them Eagles, yet the eagle queue never moved, so obviously si stock? Cheers

can confirm. 2nd in que since 17th Sep with ZERO movement... just 4 emails telling me i am 2nd :-\ for the EAGLE 3080 OC
