*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

I am sorry for your frustration. I myself have been trying to search for why production is still in a bad way. Unfortunately there isn’t anything on OCUK and even on tech websites, still nothing. When I was looking last night, all I could find was articles from October. The rest where stock trackers.

The only thing I do know and can be helpful with; OCUK will not part ship orders. They only do it all in one go.

I am currently waiting for a keyboard and monitor. My keyboard has been picked, but due to the fact my monitor isn’t available, they’ve held the keyboard till the monitor arrives. It’s just how they conduct business.

I thought this would be the case but I also thought it would be worth asking as these are unusual circumstances. Thank you for your reply.

Production is fine since if it wasn't then nvidia wouldn't have posted record revenue for the past 2 quarters. The issue is that the cards are not leaving China and instead being sold direct to mining farms.

The only solution I got, was you can move the items that haven’t arrived on a new order, but that places them all the way at the back of what ever queue there is for them items.

So it’s better to sit tight if you’re not far ahead at all in a queue for the item(S)

Now that is proper crap. I fully understand from a business point though, miners are going to buy more and spend more. So why not. But then it’s morally unacceptable for non mining buyers. Just feels like thoise who want a GPU for gaming or graphical design work are being crapped on from a grate height.

These companies know that gamers will still be around once the mining boom crashes so they are just cashing in on the short term since they know mining profits are not going to last forever. Makes sound economic sense even if it's a little hard to swallow for gamers.

Don't forget the MAJOR plus factor of selling direct to miners. There's no warranty to deal with. Manufacturers estimate costs of about 5-10% per dealing with warranty claims and repairs. Miners by with zero warranty so there's none of that to deal with.

Not only that, it also costs less. I can't imagine the fees involved in importing pallets worth of GPUs, especially with brexit complicating matters.

Valve have put a hold on all index orders because of brexit.

Brexit was 3 months ago and no importing stuff from China hasn't changed only between us and Europe has.

That's not true at all. Brexit affects importing and exporting goods anywhere outside the UK. The UK is still trying to negotiate trade agreement with Asia. That isn't going so well

TVs are all made in Asia yet there is no problem getting one of those, they are also larger items and take up more shipping volume.

The GPU shortage is worldwide, Brexit is not the reason why GPUs are so short in the U.K. because GPUs are a rare commodity on a global scale presently and that won’t improve until 2022 onwards.

They could trade on WTO rules until then and like i said that was 3 months ago it would have already hit like it has fishing and such.

I didn't say the gpu shortage is due to Brexit, just pointed out that it affects trade with every country, not just the EU.
Though brexit and the changes to customs probably factors in, it's more to do with the pandemic and a global shortage of components.

Mining is the biggest reason and not your small scale guy with a few GPUs but large scale companies that hoover up thousands.
