[Goosy]

What games are you playing with integrated graphics? i'm struggling to find something i can run smoothly

You would probably still have a better PC than most russians in counter strike.

do I detect a faint taste of bitterness?

I know it's insane to be 943 in queue and remain waiting since Oct, but really hoping to get the card. Perhaps OVERCLOCKERS should publish mental health support information as a pre-order warning

If the rumours are valid and the 3080TI is released next month, then I will definitely try like 1000's of others; but just saying that after waiting so long that it will be insult to injury if the same situation occurs again.

Stop complaining, I’m waiting for an eagle too, either be patient or cancel your order. Stop badgering OCuk for info they don’t have.

There is barley any news...If i was 100+ in the queue i would go for a refund

Everyone’s in the same boat, if any of us had any insider information on when gpus were landing this forum wouldn’t exist

I don't mind this...look at his post count, it's not like he has been asking every five minutes and getting annoyed at us for a lack of info.

No info, sorry.
Gigabyte haven't explained why but the Eagle seems to be is a very small percentage of their production.

 

[timbob81]

i understand overclockers are a resaler they dont make the products so i cant be annoyed with them its just gigabyte/nvidia need to shape up

   sorry for biting but it does get a bit annoying reading the same s*** every day when everyone’s in the same shoes

Again I think there's some confusion there. There have been plenty of deliveries with cards missing, deliveries which part of the stock was delayed and even a couple where Gibbo communicated the same quantity twice in error, but I can't remember, or indeed see any indication, that it has happened with Ventus before. There was once when Gibbo accidentally posted up the system allocation and that was removed once the mistake was spotted and I posted an explanation here.

There are also occasions when people query why they don't move forward the expected number of places, unaware that customers waiting for RMA replacements are allocated stock first.

If the same thing keeps happening to the same card/supplier then I'll definitely raise that with the manufacturer, but I have to give (usually) reliable suppliers the benefit of the doubt for a 'first offense'.

The simple fact is, no matter how many times it gets mentioned, there has only been one shipment of 3080 Ventus since mid-December and half of it didn't turn up.

@ScottiB can you confirm that rmas are prioritised as I sent my 3080 back for RMA and from the email queue updates compared to gibbos update on current stock and queue situation last week puts me at the back of the queue again. Is this an error or is it just the way the system works and it will still be prioritised?

Cheers

My bad brother I guess I woke up on wrong side of bed this morning haha (I don’t guess so, I did, haven’t been paid this week and can’t get it added til next and have bills Monday)

Hi, I got in touch with gigabyte via their website a few weeks back, I asked if the eagle was being discontinued or something and their response was rather blunt - “no rtx3000 series product has been discontinued” so they’re still being made! ... apparently I’m waiting too bud, position 11. Where are you in the queue?

 

[timbob81]

im in the 70's

I bought a 3080 yesterday with next day delivery. What time will it be delivered today?

So far I've seen no evidence whatsoever that customers waiting for replacement cards are being sent to the back of the queue. As always, I'm unable to be 100% sure without specific information about your order. Mistakes can happen, humans are involved.

I asked if the eagle was being discontinued

Gigabyte tell us regularly that they haver not discontinued it and currently have no plans to do so.
However, the card not being discontinued and the card being made in sufficient numbers are two very different things. Gigabyte appear to be making the decision that whilst GPU supply is limited, they'll focus production on higher end cards. Gigabyte are far from alone here, the same can be said for pretty much every brand. Ventus, TUF, XC3, Eagle, Gaming Pro, Trinity, all in the same boat. Unfortunately, it has become very clear that those customers waiting for the entry level cards will be the ones left waiting when all other backlogs are cleared.

What games are you playing with integrated graphics? i'm struggling to find something i can run smoothly

I recently bought Deep Rock Galactic which works fine on integrated graphics, the style works with low settings. Been also revisiting retro games like Sonic and Tomb Raider games to pass the time. I was half way through RDR2 so look forward to getting back in to that once my card arrives.

A main competitor had some 3090 FE's for sale earlier today for £1400. I had one in my basket but couldn't justify it for the little performance over the 3080. This was the first time I had ever been able to get one of the 30 series in the basket, probably would have failed at payment anyway.
