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

[MoX_Farrow]

The lack of info from OcUK compared to other places is pretty poor.

It seems like OcUK haven't had any Gigabyte stock at all, but other places have had at least one shipment per week for the last 3 weeks. The urge to cancel and order elsewhere is growing.

Today is the last day of Golden Week in China. The Samsung wafer fabs (plural) are in South Korea unaffected by the weeks holiday, if there was an issue with the GPU supply they have had a week to catch up. There is likely to be a knock on effect for supply though and next week we probably won't see very much unless it is on the train or was awaiting shipping prior to the holiday. The week after that (19th on) we should see a large increase in cards delivered as production gets into full swing.

Just watching as YT on this... strange.

Quoted from GN video whom has been in contact with MSI:

"Starlight partner is an individual sales subsidiary working under MSI. They carry excess inventory and refurbished items and would not be given newly released products such as teh Gerforce RTX 30 series graphics cards. As such, we (MSI) have conducted an investigation and found that an error allowed them access to inventory they were not permitterd to handle.
Starlight partner has been instructed to contact the individual customers who purchased these graphics card products and offer 2 options :
1. Return the product and receive a full refund.
2. A partial refund of the amount paid over MSI's MSRP.

Moving forward, MSI will enforce a stricter policy to avoid situations like this happening."

Interesting that if you "markup" and put on ebay its wrong, mark up and put on your own web store its ok. I wonder if the court of public opinoin will shift sufficiently on the effect on customers pockets to gain traction and that we will seegreater control on prices charged by vendors in the early days of technology releases.

But what date you order ?

Quite late, 2 Oct 2020 I was expecting a wait, but it would be nice to get an idea of how long.

 

[Venares]

Well as I was 1400 deep in the TUF queue i've canceled and will take my chances elsewhere.

 

[shaan200]

It seems OC's haven't got any stock / extremely low stock for the gigabyte cards considering I know quite a few people getting it from elsewhere

4 months, I guess

I know you're joking but sad thing is, it's starting to look like you may be right.

 

[Bozzler]

I'm guessing OCUK don't have any EVGA cards yet then. Would be nice to know when the supposed arrival date is.

Unpleasantly surprised by how late OCUK are getting some stock.

This isn't a OCUK isolated issue, the UK as a whole has been overlooked and given lower priority to the cards available.

Cancelled my SEP 17th order with overclockers and used refund to order elsewhere. I got my 3080 now from a competitor and I didn't order till the 28th, weird how people who ordered same card on 17th still waiting lol. If you buy a new pc they got stock for that?

genuinely baffed as to how ur finding these cards elsewhere

This is not joke I order day after you and probably get card February that's i think

The MSI trio looks like one of the more popular cards. So, I would say you might be waiting till January

 

[Kazounet]

But what date you order ?

Same for me.

MSI gaming x trio ordered the 17th, 15:16.

Only two emails (payment accepted + situation on the 3080 situation but nothing about my queue)

 

[Aaron97]

This is what a competitor is doing. Why can’t OCUK do the same?

100% agree

 

[Mykolas]

I know you're joking but sad thing is, it's starting to look like you may be right.

it's really possible that you will be waiting 2 months. Definetly not less

Priv pal

 

[Spit]

Its starting to seem to me that OcUK are last in line in getting cards in for the UK market

They are a third of the size compared to the nearest competitor everyone is talking about.

 

[Mykolas]

100% agree

2 Palit in stock

 

[ateek walia]

according to the AIBs they should be
