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

The guy who’s selling it says the RAM has been used for a year for gaming with an RX 5700XT/ Ryzen 7 3800x. I asked if he overclocked and he said no so is it ok to buy?
Another retailer is selling a 3080 Ti... for £1849 if your interested in that. And it’s a MSI Suprim X
I cringed until I noticed it was a Suprim "X", makes all the difference
In a sense MSI have cancelled it as they're transitioning to the LHR version which I've seen advertised elsewhere. Hopefully stock might improve if the miners aren't interested in it.

Not many people will be honest about overclocking when asked, not much point even asking. Thankfully with RAM it's quite strait forward, if it works, its fine, very unlikely for problems to show up over time due to overclocking. Today, there are so many safeguards on software and hardware level that someone would really need to put some effort and even disable some of those safeguards to fry RAM, CPU, or GPU to be honest.
Yep, and hopefully OCUK give us a potential "upgrade" path towards it. We'll have to see though, I have a feeling the LHR versions won't be around for a good while yet.
I think you missed the point that in my situation where money is tight and every pound counts that having a 4k 60 hz monitor the 3600 ram does nothing for me, money better in the bank.Nobody said that it was gimping your performance but that wasn't the question that was asked. Nobody asked'do you think Tramstop should upgrade his 3200Mhz RAM?'
The simple fact is, for the negligible price difference, the best choice for anyone buying Ryzen 5000 series now is to buy 3600MHz
Indeed, paying to have the latest and greatest when it does nothing in regards to max fps or the 1% lows etc its nuts. Save the money for the next cycle of upgrades
Agree about the comms but to be fair to Asus they do seem to be one of the better AIBs for supplying cards according to Gibbo's stock info.
Asus has probably decided, possibly like other AIBs, that radio silence is the best option because it would just end in big arguments.
So true, love that!
lol.I would have my doubts seeing as most ram is designed to be overclocked these days. I don't think it would an issue if it was overclocked.
OC have had deliveries of some 3060 LHR cards but I've not seen any mentions of 3080 LHR deliveries yet.
PC has the best scalpers. Another fail for console owners.

A little bit more supply and less interest from miner due to crypto price fall and LHR, looks like some speculators especially with 3090 are getting panicky. I really hope that prices will fall to the level that will actually lose them money. Only few days ago you could sell 3090FE to CEX and make few hundred quid, not any more.

I second that, and hope these do happen as would mean more cards for gamers

I guess as everyone who is prepared to pay silly money gets one, the pool of potential buyers at that price drops.
I still don't expect prices to return to sane levels for a while.
Let's hope for a fall in crypto prices- that will hopefully see a flood of cards hit the market.
