Fe's will stay at the same price but getting hold of one is usually the issue.

Never been a problem in the past getting hold of FE cards.

Yes they sell out quick but they also restock quick.

Yeah, both the shop and forum are struggling currently.

TimAhKin · 17 Sep 2020 at 13:33

The Overclockers UK site is under-going maintenance at the moment, we apologise for any inconvenience.lol

Steam coming out of the hamsters right now

It's bizarre that they're even on the same web server / cluster.

Stu999 · 17 Sep 2020 at 13:42

Seems to have **** the bed already. Surprised at the level of demand (or lack of website capacity TBH).

elementHT · 17 Sep 2020 at 13:43

Yeah shops not loading at all for me. It completely crashed at 13:30! I thought the horse had bolted!!

these price increases leave a sour taste. I must have spend tens of thousands with them

Nothing wrong with that if the clusters powerful.

I chuckled when I first read this title today
"come on, how many do you think want a 3080?"

Apparently yes, OCUK website will crash. And bring forum with it.

Sem · 17 Sep 2020 at 15:01

wow after all the years on ocuk i cant remember a time when a hardware lauch crashed the forum and webshop like this

same for another competitor

almoststew1990 · 17 Sep 2020 at 15:05

Everything's fine...

Nbuilder · 17 Sep 2020 at 15:13

Not surprised at the demand on the site, but the forums also went down with the site, would have thought they were not hosted on the same servers.

Few other competitors website crashed as well.

And we are supposed to be in "the biggest recessions in UK in decades"

This is all thanks to the disgrace of the overpriced disgrace of the 2000 series. For the performance increase, the move from 1000 series to 2000 series is very much akin to the 700 to 900 series just a marginally improvement. But the unlike the move from 780/780ti to 970/980/980ti, the move from the 1080ti to the ridiculously priced 2080/2080ti is the reason why the 900 series was still considered a success, while the 2000 series is kind of a laughing-stock now that even Jensen has disowned lol

after nearly 45 minutes of trying it failed on payment multiple times, each time my basket got reset - bought from somewhere else in 10 minutes - I get demand is high but the ocuk site goes down faster Neymar.

Nvidia clearly didn't have any stock themselves, dead on 2 it went from notify me to out of stock, then get an email an hour later saying it's arrived as if they are trolling!

Slinky69 · 17 Sep 2020 at 15:27

Need to shovel more hamsters onto the wheels to keep the site going!

almoststew1990 · 17 Sep 2020 at 16:35

And we're back! I assume it is because of the change from forums.overclockers to overclockers.co.uk/forum. I guess they're now the same... server.. I don't know what I'm talking about.
