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

[Chivaro]

Holding your money hostage suggest they won't refund you, they'll happily do it. What's stopping you.

I mean new orders because now they are fully aware of the situation. So it seems sensible to stop all orders until things have settled down, as they over sold by far.

 

[smu_dog]

Doesn’t matter if your 1st in queue or 500+ if you leave the queue you ain’t getting one till next year by the looks of things, regardless of who you buy from. I ordered the msi trio and happy to wait as it’s the only one I want. Only problem is CDproject red won’t get any money from me because I ain’t playing cyberpunk till I can in all its glory

Quite agree if they are aware of being able to fufill all pre orders say within a month then they should just say, if they can't then they shouldn't take anymore pre orders.

They'll get it eventually though

It might sound a bit strange, but I'm sort of "glad" we're in a queue for the 3080s now - gives us chance to compare the performance with the 3090 when the NDA lifts next week at least.

Do we even know whose reviewing them yet?
The price difference isn't really worth the tiny performance bump but its definitely the main option now if you want a card quick.

@Gibbo figure out who this 'customer' is and cancel their pre-order please.... George someone maybe?

Item no. 284016221822 on the popular auction site - the swine doesn't deserve OcUK stock.

Asking for £890 !! (and he likely isn't getting it next week either lol)

Yeah that's the thing. I wanted it by the time Cyberpunk is out. Maybe that can still happen, as I ordered last night, but will be gutted if I can't experience it in all it's glory. Although it is going to be a massive game and replayable, so chances are I will still play it lol

Exactly

4. [countable] a government system that provides financial support to a particular group of peoplea reform of entitlementsMedicare and other entitlement programs
5. [uncountable] (usually disapproving) the feeling of having a right to the good things in life without necessarily having to work for themI can’t stand the sense of entitlement among these kids.

Why in the world are they still taking preorders when they can't even provide a reasonable estimate for when orders will be fulfilled from a launch day? This screams incompetence and money grubbing in hopes of outselling other retailers.

 

[smu_dog]

Only sellars I have seen that still have rrp are the ones who kept their stock for their overpriced gaming rigs, so had none to sell on their own, which is a bit disgraceful if you ask me.

Yeah that's what I am saying. Like with the PS5. You couldn't preorder it at all if their stock allocation was gone.

perhaps more preorders means they can demand more stock from suppliers? Puts themselves in a stronger position to serve us?

 

[iamtheoneneo]

"whining about it" as if it's not entirely reasonable to expect these things from someone taking over £700 from you. You're almost a bigger joke than them.

Anyone with half a brain will understand the global stock situation with these cards...if you don't like that CANCEL and your get that 700 back no problems.

The better, smarter question is, why are people still pre-ordering when they know the situation.

Hype. FUD. FOMO.

Bought a MSI Trio late last night from here.
But also bought a Gigabyte from another site at 2.45pm yesterday.

I think I might be sensible cAncelling the trio as I should get the gigabyte a lot sooner?

i have no issue waiting, but I’d rather my card was charged when the item was actually shipped.

Mine was at 15:28. My going theory based on people who have confirmed orders, is that the payment process that cleared the payment quickest got the orders prioritised due to the order finalising sooner than others. My credit card payment wasn't cleared until 9:30am this morning! and I didn't receive an email at all. Whereas PayPal payments were getting cleared in minutes and people got their order confirmation emails soon after. This was well after other people had already confirmed orders with other payment methods, yet didn't get emails confirming orders as their payments hadn't gone through yet.

I get there was clearly more demand than supply here, but did people really get screwed over due to the payment method they chose?? That's really not cool.

 

[trisp]

Still don't really get how the dates of delivery were left up and could not be changed because of site issues but prices were freely changeable regardless.... I was gonna pay and wait but due to work by the time I got one (sadly later in the evening) it still said within a week?

Which just does not seem that honest ? If you have 100 GPUs and you sell 10000 you don't keep your sign up saying we have stock when you clearly don't and won't for along time.
