Does anyone know which AIB partners have UK RMA centres (I only know Zotac and I think Gigabyte). I don't think I'd even consider a brand that requires sending it abroad (e.g. EVGA to Germany)

Wtf?
Shouldn't you just send it back to OC uk on case of malfunction or defects?
Sending it abroad sounds just bloody funny.
Got the stuff off ocuk they sold it damaged or whatever, they fix it. I don't care how, ni just supply it back to them.
Simple init?

Never ordered a GPU, sorry. OCUK may be different, but most places say speak to the retailer in the first year, but after that you deal with the manufacturer directly, i.e. sending your EVGA 3080 to Germany... (sod that)

Similar question, what brand is the most respectable nowadays and is there any difference at all, assuming price is the same?

I've heard at least several questionable things about each brand, so I am in a muddle tbh. I was thinking EVGA, but a non-UK RMA centre is a no-go. I'm leaning towards the Zotac 3080 Trinity as it has a 5 year warranty and they have a UK RMA centre. But... I will wait for reviews. No way am I dumping at £700 without knowing how good it is.

from my 20 series Aorus. I don’t think Gigabyte do, I think they’re based in Germany. I had to send it back to Scan and they sent it on for me.

*edit* Gigabyte were amazing in my RMA though. Had the card and back to the shop in just over a week. It was the shop that struggled logging it and sending it back to me which added over a week on top

"UPDATE: https://imgur.com/a/4wDiMQ0 - 2nd customer rep has said warranty will NOT BE VOID when installing a waterblock, provided no damage occurs, and does not matter if you live in Canada or the USA. There is overlap and repetition of the message on the picture so as to show it's one continuous message. Also added a second email as I asked them again, which also says not voided. That's a total of 4 separate Nvidia reps now."

A good read, thanks for posting.

One poster in there bought direct from nvidia and mentioned that he had a block on it and they had no issue and honoured the warranty. Its the way it should be really, after all what if an owner wants to change/upgrade TIM.
 
@Gibbo hows stocks looking? Healthy enough for what you expect to be wanted from your customer base? Or is it going to be an immediate sell out? I keep hearing there's a deliberately limited supply to bring the prices for AIB's up.....

There is no such thing as deliberate limited supply! It's so stupid. It makes zero sense in business! If you have products to sell. you want to sell as many as possible. Think of this.

you sell 1000 at £500 = £500,000 profit and happy customers, everyone who wants one gets one. Your product is everywhere and well received
you limit supply and sell 500 at £1000 - £500,000 profit and a totally ****** off community, and your product in fewer hands, smaller mindshare and seen as bad value.

Which would you want?

No, EVGA are in Germany

Gigabyte do have a UK RMA centre.

If the manufacturer's profit margin drops below their profitable operating figure, they don't give a damn if they sell 1 or 1,000.
 
I'm sure Gibbo cant say numbers it will be first come first served as always a lot of f5 fingers soon lol...

Yeah he specified that for us all a few days ago, I was just wondering if it's the sort of figures that are just gonna instantly disappear or if there might be reasonable stock levels for anticipated sales volumes, *roughly*

Is that not just common sense? I'm not saying its specifically the case at this point, but responding to the anecdote provided.

Wow people are grumpy on Monday mornings.... Yikes....

There’s just no logic behind your statement lol. Why would Nvidia intentionally short supply their own direct sales which are much more profitable for them, than short themselves ‘so AIB can hike prices’ which is of no benefit to them?

OcUK could also not say if they have enough stock or not. They could have 10,000 units and think that should just about do. But they could end up getting 25,000 orders... The hype and FOMO is real lol

FOMO is absolutely real, not gonna lie I've worked really freaking hard and waited it out to this launch to upgrade!

I'm just asking the question, not making a statement.

Edit: I specifically stated "I'm hearing", various places about the web are making these assertions.
