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

Out of interest how come some cards are still available for pre-order when there is no stock?
I mean i preordered one yesterday (because currently i don't have any other way of even getting into a queue), but like they must have 10,000 orders for these cards now right?

If I was to order today (Any 3080 variant) - Would I be likely to receive a card before 2021?

I highly doubt it. There is no list of all Queue numbers, but I'd say every model is high enough to not be fulfilled before christmas.

To put it into perspective, there's still barely any increase in stock coming in, i was 150 in Queue for Eagle OC since release day and I was still 80th in queue last friday. The queues are likely close to 1000 in size.

Honestly no one really knows, OCUK are hoping that all backlogged orders can be cleared before 2021 but its seems like a dream right now. It also depends on the card you order so the "big names" like EVGA and MSI have longer wait times as they have bigger queues but they are shipping more cards than the other brands. The best thing I would suggest is to go to part alert on twitter which means you have to be fast to secure the card. However, overclockers preorder secures a guaranteed card when they are in stock.

I think the one 3080 you might have a chance at is the Zotac Trinity OC. The last shipment of those was greater than the pre-order queue. I don't know how big of a queue it has now, but queue updates go out this afternoon, so if you can afford to hop on (if they're even pre-orderable atm), you should know where you stand in a few hours.

They aren't really shipping more. MSI at least has had nothing all month and there is no ETA. My day 1 queue position is still over 400.

They take payment in full so it isn't a normal pre-order you need to understand...If you are happy to tie your money up with the "chance" of getting into a queue that's fine but the queues for certain brands are long, there has been one update this week (despite people getting shipping notifications) and OCUK are not getting hardly any stock despite bragging about their relationship with Nvidia/shipping the stock they are confirmed to have had from vendor reps (speculation).
TLDR: IF you are happy to pay up front and be happy with total lack of transparency and updates..Come on in the water is lovely!!!

Do not count on it at all. I've been waiting since Sep 17th and my order was placed at around 15:30 on the day. OCUK don't seem to be getting any stock and queues are rammed.

'pre-order' is left open for a BS reason. They're ok with taking your money without actually providing anything. They aren't even posting numbers they get in no doubt they are doing this because they are scalping GPU's into their pre-builds.

You'd get more enjoyment simping than waiting in a 3080 queue.
 
I'm hoping the small and very small amounts of the Giga Gaming OC total >14 cards so I can get mine and see the back of this frustrating experience. Really learned a lesson from this episode and will be more wary about what I purchase and from where in the future :(
 
im noticing it's been very quiet across all my stock alerts for 3080's the last few days, like really quite.
Is this the signs of Nvidia shifting production towards the new cards on the horizon?

NOPE!!! Even if you joined a queue and other cards became available OCUK isn't even doing a courtesy to customers queuing (who have paid) first refusal on excess stock just selling them at inflated, unjustifiable prices...

Forced scarcity. They make them in the millions not the thousands. A single GPU wafer has about few hundred GPU's worth possible to be more given how small it's getting now and they produce tens of thousands of them in huge bulks.

Maybe on the stock alert front but there have been big drops of the FE cards and AIB cards...

Hasn't been a 3080fe drop for 2 weeks in the UK now (This is the 3080 thread some 3090's did drop couple of days ago), and the only AIB's are the god awful Palit, PNY and Zotacs all with terrible PCB and coolers looking at teardown videos wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

Interesting what's your reasoning for "Forced scarcity" theory?
