** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

[Moeks]

I have pre ordered an Asus TUF card with an ETA for 21st, which is fine. But, I too had it in my basket at the RRP of £649 and then it bombed out on the bit where you do the Paypal checkout, waited a while (perhaps 6 or 7 minutes) to see if I got any emails to say it had completed, checked Paypal directly etc, didn't get it by the looks of it, it's still in my basket and that says £649 still so I ran through the checkout process again and it worked this time, but came out at £698! ...I must admit that leaves a bitter taste doing that, a very bitter taste. I don't have an OcUK confirmation email but I do have an order number and Paypal was charged straight away.

Paper launch then?..

I don't even think you can call that a paper lauch well actually yes maybe a toilet paper launch it was so ****.

 

[DougF1]

Expect a load of orders to be horse ****. thats 5 friends now, all of us - "Sorry we over sold" - bull ****. You just putting up the prices. Theres so much shady behaviour going on here.

 

[Gerard]

The sites were going down quicker than a whores knickers ffs, you'd think by NOW they would realise on a big gpu launch to have more server power on tap but nope, only been this way for 20 years...why break with tradition at this point.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Out of curiosity anyone try and phone an order in?

Phones aren't being answered I saw somewhere.

 

[delvey]

Any reason for the 10% price hikes now from first listing?

 

[Petrolhead]

Saw this on the NVIDIA forums LOL

Shocking - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=rtx+3080&_sacat=0

Classic OcUK gouging the heck out of prices. I don't for a second believe their nonsense about the weakening £ affecting pricing, they're taking the micky.

How can it be the weak £ when prices have been going up since 2pm, the zotac has jumped again in the last 20 mins

 

[RichardH754]

Has anyone got there order received email??

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Paper launch then?..

Worst one for a long time by the looks of it, and OcUK's reputation is taking a pounding in the process.

 

[Mr Fujisawa]

I saw a buy now button on nvidia at 14:06 but i didn't try clicking on it!

 

[Howling]

Did you pay Paypal?

Ya. I think I've paypal'd almost every OCUK order and don't recall seeing that before O.o

 

[Tom|Nbk]

you’ve just earnt overclokers some interest as the money will be sat in their bank not yours for possibly months....

Exactly!!!

 

[TimAhKin]

Bloodbath of a launch. Everything went down. Same as others, managed to order one, can see the order in my account's orders, money gone from my CC, but no email confirmation.

 

[BufordTJustice]

Did you pay Paypal?

Im in the same boat as Howling and paid with paypal at 15:24 (fully expected the bank to block the card so didnt take the risk).

I actually managed to get an FE into my cart around 40mins ago but the checkout stalled and it was eventually removed/OOS.

Maybe they use tarrot cards to predict the £

 

[fastboy]

if you think somethings shady report to the ASA.

 

[Goat-]

So I managed to get an order through for a FTW3 around 15.29pm which was £829.99 and now the price is £799? What the hell overclockers?

Perhaps surge pricing or whatever automation they have should be switched off during launches where the site is likely to get overloaded.
Seems unnecessarily anti consumer.

I would be livid.

Really is a scumbag move moving money and pricing at the final few seconds of people checking out, lost my respect OcUK, hugely so.

The prices started going up mere hours after the cards were first listed. I've said many many many time, they will ALWAYS find some BS reason to inflate prices.
