ARCHIVE - *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION *** - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION

Gigabyte Eagle - 14:33 wondering where I am in the queue

 

[SkinSpotlights]

just cancel if you can't wait and get big navi instead, will teach ngredia a lesson xD

If AMD had better driver reliability and if AMF was par with nvenc again on reliability as well as quality would totally do that. Eyeing up the 3090 atm, its all a business expense in the end so doesn't hurt badly and can just cancel the 3080 preorder whenever I secure something.

Only for the webserver scaling though. They had a cap of 480 connections to the database at a time so unless they are sharding or clustering which I doubt, that would be their bottleneck. Even with scaling it just can’t be done quickly enough to handle thousands in a shot, it’ll just fall over continuously as we saw.

As I posted above, other sites manage huge demands perfectly with a queueing system, far less strain on the system than the world and his wife mashing the F5 button

MSI X trio 1428 hopefully this means we high up in the queue for one of the first deliveries.

14:27 *flex* lol

At this point I'm more curious how many orders they had in the first half an hour.

 

[poultergoose]

I got an order for the strix in at 2:33 You think it's possible I be selected for that batch or no?

I believe he isn't able to say numbers but gave us a rough guestimate on numbers. IIRC 'small' meant ~50 cards.. missed a 0 there sorry haha

 

[Lemonlad]

Appreciate you answering questions here Gibbo. Gave up on the phone lines after a while.
Is there another shipment of the MSI Gaming X trio on the way this month? If so and it's a small amount, is it possible to hear a rough approximation? e.g. 10 cards or 100 cards.

Thanks

He’s not allowed to say exact numbers. Small is less than 50

Managed to order at 4.48pm yesterday - MSI Ventus. After reading their email, and their excuses for price gouging. Plus the fact of taking payment and sitting on that money for possibly months, on top of the 'we only have 1000 codes' for the offer of the game / Geforce Now. Really very crappy online practices right there. As a result, I'm cancelling my order. I really don't want to deal with a company that treats their customers quite so badly. Especially given that on some of the products, they stated they were due to ship today and others on the 21st. That is clearly not the case. Misleading to say the least, when it appears they only had a handful of these cards in stock if that.

At least someone else will now get my place in the queue and I will try again elsewhere for the 3090.

Good luck everyone.

 

[XeNoNF50]

Any chance of being refunded and charged when the card comes in to existence rather than you holding on to my £700 for months on end?

No

 

[WesleyBurns]

Dow do you know if You will be alive in 2-4 weeks ??

If you are dead/dying in 2-4 weeks a gpu won’t be the first or last thing on your mind or at least it shouldn’t.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Keep an eye on the exchange rate, lads. Remember, $0.01 movement equates to £20 GPU increases, so if the exchange rate falls and OcUK hadn't actually bought from the supplier when they took your cash...

 

[vipermk2]

Also remember folks that Watch Dogs Legion that comes free with the card cant be claimed after end of November, so if we get the cards late we have to fork out another £90 for the game...

Good point, I've just posted that question on the UBI forums, might be an Idea to keep bumping that thread so the mods pass it on to the people that need to know.

Probably one to refer to trading standards if you don't get your code - it's in everyone's basket and was sold with it.

[Zeed]

Why was my payment processed and complete when the item isn't in stock? I literally got my money stolen. Safe to say I will never be using overclockers again.

its called PREORDER learn the Therm
