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

[Hulsie88]

I managed to nab one of those EVGA cards too. Have u heard anything yet??

Not yet, keep checking every few hours lol, still showing order received and will be emailed with delivery date.

Just waiting on them to get more stock in and then should be shipped!

@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

So yes - they have had deliveries, but we had to pin them down to admit it. So they are ONLY getting SI stock for the Eagles? I feel like we're being lied to - I appreciate CS actually answering the question though, although it means that Eagle orders are being fulfilled at the whim of OCUK, not just when they get stock.

 

[Xyclops]

Good morning people, how have you been?
Are there are 3080's to be seen?
None at at all, I hear you say?
Oh well, I will check back later in the day,
You never know I might have some luck,
But if I don't that will really suck

ahh cheers! yeh i was thinking this! also had a feeling they would deliver to people who paid above MSRP/RRP and leave RRP people till last.. regardless of my que place being 2nd just feeels verry very crappy :-\

 

[Just-Dave]

Sorry guys they chaged their minds now,
No eagles since 21/9 but they have had 50 units of other gigabyte 3080 since 15th October

OK - seems they got the details wrong - they are saying that none of those delivered were Eagles - So not going into SI queues

If this is the case, this sucks and everyone with a GB should seriously vote with their wallets and canx their pre-orders especially since @Gibbo stated that Giga were "flagging" in the supply department. Giga want to seriously have a word with OCUK as the risk damaging their brand here...

As someone who has ordered and PAID IN FULL for an order OCUK squirreling them away to sell rebuilds is NOT on and I can feel a few social media/Reddit/Trust pilot reviews coming on...

 

[B14ckbrook]

Well, I'm currently watching a live DHL tracker as my 3080 (Gigabyte Vision OC) is in transit from Germany and as soon as it's in my hand I'll be cancelling my EVGA FTW3 Ultra from OC.

Position 14 currently so a new queue place for most of you folks.

I'd love to say it's been a pleasure but lets be honest - it's been a **** show.

Good luck one and all. Fingers crossed you get your cards before Cyberpunk Eve.

 

[Just-Dave]

This! You beat me to it!

Lynch mob mode deactivated lmao

 

[BurnieJNR]

Todays the day folks, I can feel an announcement coming saying " a small amount of TUF 3080 non-oc will be here by the end of the week".

Its coming, believe in it.

 

[John Harris]

Help us @GIGA-Man Kenobi, you are our only hope.....

 

[Flenix]

Oh ok, that's fine then, i also ordered 2 other things that were in stock, will they send them before the card arrives or altogether?

Everything comes together but if you contact them they might split it out. I got my other bits here sooner, so now I have less tie in if I find a card elsewhere

I'm sure Linus of LTT mentioned recently in his live show that when he worked for a retailer in Canada, Nvidia were extremely strict on selling between retail and SI. If they sent you stock for SI machines, you could only use them in SI machines and not sell them as retail units.

He did say last week a "small amount of most 3080's". But never clarified on what.

He's since clarified a small amount of strix non-OC are coming, which as that's mentioned separately I'm assuming tuf non-OC wasn't included in the "most" either.

Safe bet that EVGA and Gigabyte are also not in the "most"


... which leads me to suspect that "a small amount of most 3080's" just means we're getting a few PNY, a few PALIT, some MSI and some ASUS OC's. which is why I'm actually kinda mad at @Gibbo for being too lazy to say anything more than "most", because it gets peoples hopes up unfairly and is a textbook example of OCUK's bad communication being an actual OCUK problem, not something they can blame elsewhere for.

 

[DelBoyJamie]

That is not 100% correct, cases and monitors can be shipped without an outer box but I think that is reasonable

My Asus 3080 GPU yes came in a brown outer box. But this was a ASUS Branded and ASUS tape box. With the plastic straps around the box. The box label on the side states it's a ASUS TUF OC 3080. So though it is in a brown box. It's very clear what it is. The tape is even branded ASUS. Honestly these look like it has been directly sent to me from ASUS not ocuk. No ocuk label on it at all. Only Asus on side. I still have the box can take a pic when I get home and show it and label if Wana see it.

Also likely why there was no Haribo too.

No way DPD lost it. I've had a account with them personally and in business for many years and never had a issue. I don't use anyone other that DPD unless it's a very large item that needs two people then we use specialist firms. For things like 65inch TVs.

You get a tracking number immediately when you create a pickup. If it never said it was picked up by DPD it was never scanned by the delivery driver. And 99% of the time you always have someone there with the pickup driver going through the items to make sure they where scanned. You don't get a tracking numbers as a business when they pick up. You get it soon as you make the pickup on your system at work.

3 things. One the pickup label and tracking was made but wasn't given to DPD when they came to scan and take items, or the items where given and not checked and scanned and got mixed up in back of the van. Or it wasn't scanned and stolen. Last one never would I expect this from DPD. 2nd one possibly if they where rushed or rushing themselves. More than likely it was just never given to DPD and is still at ASUS or OCUK who ever is sending these.

We want news on the ASUS 3080 TUF NON-OC
