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

[CarpeDiemPW]

I found out that ASUS ships to the UK using 2 main distributors, Ingram Micro and VIP Computers. Surely these are also where OcUK gets their stock from as it's not direct from ASUS which was confirmed by the ASUS rep I spoke to. I'll be calling them both to find out if they can provide some sort of update on the Strix card situation.

Not sure they’ll talk to the public, but fingers crossed!! Ask for some TUF’s too (preferably just over 100 of the OC variety!!)

 

[CarpeDiemPW]

7 Tuf OC delivered per week on average lol. Are they being sent by a lad on a Deliveroo bike?

Nah... they’d get here quicker!!

 

[Jphil22]

Shipments are OK, shipments are small, yet still taking pre-orders... pathethic

*sigh*

 

[CarpeDiemPW]

Yes... I am getting concerned at the underwhelming stock shipments (seemingly) in comparison to other sellers.

 

[CarpeDiemPW]

I’m keeping my pre-order in place, but you’d best believe I’m keeping my eyes peeled elsewhere on the off chance!!

 

[BraXzy]

Bah still no ASUS TUF stock incoming announcements... eagerly awaiting that post in the update thread.

I would say the same about the Palit cards but they never put anything about them dispite them having shipped some out a couple times and said nothing.

Wait how are in the 1380 position if you ordered the Asus TUF on the 2nd of October. I pre ordered the card on the 24th of Septembre at 17:05 an I'm in 1621 position. Did u ordered the Asus TUF OC or the non-oc?

That was when I received my e-mail of my position. I ordered my card on 21st September.

Having been given a queue position last Friday, seeing no post's suggesting they have recieved any Tuf non OC cards and no further update on queue position (meaning it hasn't changed) this week I'm questioning my decision at this stage, going to see what posts relating shipments look like over the next couple of weeks before deciding whether to stick it out or not.

 

[Clownface]

Trinity non OC should be shipping next week I hope

See this is so odd to me, I ordered a Gigabyte Eagle 4 mintues after you but im 370ish in my queue. The TUF was much more popular so this just doesn't make sense. From the spreadsheet LastOf kindly compiled you can see there was almost as many orders for the eagle in a 10 minute window between 15.09 and 15.19 as the entire first 2 hours for the most popular card the Tuf. (170ish Eagles in 10 mins vs 190ish Tufs in 2 hours)

Literally every other card has a smooth progression of cards ordered per minute except the Eagle. 20% of its total orders to date came in a 15 minute window. I fully understand there would've been a spike anyway because the website began working at 15.00 for most people but why is the spike for the eagles literally 10 times bigger then any other GPU?

Kinda makes me think that the swaps, that were allowed for weeks and only allowed if moving to a cheaper card, were all to the Eagle as it had lower total orders then the other "MSRP" cards.

Its because for that time the pre-order button actually had a dispatch date of the 23rd sept so lots (like me) assumed OC knew what they were doing and we wrongly put our confidence in them

blame schools these days my 14 and 16 year both use math also it’s a accepted term now in our education

Jesus Christ that’s absolutely horrific news.
Why on earth would we be downgrading the English language to use American terms? Do they accept wrongly spelt words like color as well ?
Never mind 3080 stock shortage , british people using the word “math” is the big issue !

 

[fordypaul]

Prior to all this I thought OCUK were a power in the market, the more feedback members come back with from manufacturers and suppliers the more miss-guided I feel.

Amazing how the retailer is now the worse source of information and many get more from Twitter!

The plus is at least the cards are coming through!

Yep, exactly why I ordered one

 

[Mongole0]

A long time ago I used know people who Managed the MSI GPU factory in Shenzen and a PM in the Dev center in Taipei. Shame I lost touch. Would be handy right now to find out what is really going on.

 

[Silksta]

Yep, exactly why I ordered one

Me too (Asus TUF Non OC). That's what annoys me so much about it.

 

[Big Moh]

Any news on PNY, at least your lot are getting news on some of the other makers but nothing about PNY, been shipped on other sites

 

[Nigel Franklin]

Yep, exactly why I ordered one

And exactly why I ordered one.15.13 on the 17th it was showing as delivery 23rd September. 9th October, still haven't received a position in the queue. That's why a large % being sold then were Eagles.

Second queue email position: 176
