I reckon we should have a Street Fighter 2 Turbo knockout tournament to decide who shall buy a card

Instant ban for anyone choosing Blanka.

Mobile verification, where customer has to reply to text, and answer call after.

Another option could be that buyers send their computers in, and you guys install, and keep the packaging (with customers covering the cost). So it's offered as more of an upgrade.

Please stop with the suggestions. People don't quite have a full grasp of the technical investment/complexity or and/or manpower requirements of the things that they are suggesting as "simple" solutions.

By 'people', you mean me.

What a conceited and condescending thing to say. If you don't know the logistics of selling something......why look to sell it?

Considering you're staff for Overclockers, you might want to check the way you interact with people.

You've been politely requested several times to stop giving suggestions. You're still doing it.

You're trying to tell the experts at selling things, those who understand their own technical systems and logistical limitations, how to do their jobs without any internal knowledge of either of these factors.

Someone here is being condescending, conceited and rude. It isn't the staff.

By people I mean the numerous people who've made countless suggestions in the last couple of days despite me asking a number of times for them not to. Most of the suggestions given would require days/weeks/months of work rewriting our current e-commerce software and/or hundreds of man hours of manual work to carry out.

We're a small company in the midst of a massive, three year long investment into improving our infrastructure. I spend much of my working week either dealing with issues caused by our current software or talking the developers of our upcoming software.

We know our limitations, we're working to improve on them but it's never as simple as simple and people on the outside seem to think.

I'm not sure what you mean with regards the logistics comment.

I didn't mean to come across as condescending, I apologise if I did, I think I'm just letting the frustration of the current situation get to me.

I was 'politely' asked once.

I wasn't telling anyone anything, I literally made a few suggestions.......not sure how that translates into me telling people how to do their jobs.

It's cool. Might want to skip the forum if your brain is fried from comments

Lots of similar suggestions already made in this thread, mods have stated they don't want any more suggestions so just leave them to it.

I am aware.

I guess people are people, they are frustrated, trying to help and the general consensus is that exclusivity is not the preferred approach.
9 Months later and everyone is still competing against bots and there is no end in sight. At least not for the next year or two.

How the business achieves that at the end of the day is down to cost and resourcing etc.
It will be interesting to see what OC does plan to do and it would be nice to get some insight into the approach.

It's a terrible situation for all.

That is true.

ok

I really do feel the 3080Ti should have been given the "SUPER" label instead of Ti, since its only around 5-10% faster than the vanilla 3080... thats about how much faster the 2080 Super was over the vanilla 2080.

I think for most people here, we've come to associate a Ti release with a 20-30% performance uplift..

The super was around the same price also rather than 70% more.

very good point!!!

You're right, but the trouble is they made the 3080 too good due to competative pressure from AMD. If AMD weren't going for the high-end this gen we'd have probably ended up with the 3070 being the 3080 spec! Then 3080 being the 3080Ti and the 3090 being the Titan...

I think this is quite accurate. Nvidia release the 3080 way to cheap ( due to perceived competition from AMD ). Crazy though as AMD could have really cleaned up this generation if they could have supplied the GPUS.

Well Scotti can't mean me. My idea to change the page location of a listing minutes before launch is not hard. nhornby has hit on something I mentioned earlier, people are one post above where they should be.

Good luck getting one another disappointment coming For people .

The majority of people don't care anymore about GPU releases, knowing full well that they will not be able to buy one on the day of release, or anytime soon after release! Dates don't mean anything either, the day of release, there aren't any cards, the day after release, there aren't any cards either!!

Those who frequent tech of any sort do care , which is why there are a lot of posts about it

I think you're spot on there!
