*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***
so you’ve only moved by 6? Apparently OCUK seem to use some form of maths beyond the wit of man ( person ? ).

I have a gaming x trio on pre-order - not got an email with my new position 
Anyone else not got the email ?

I moved 6..from 25 to 19..
ouch. Hope you’re quite young and in good health.
Read the first post in this thread. It's defined there.
today was apparently small but it was in fact 6 cards
my health meter is set to run out by mid Nov, then will fill the cancel application.
get my money back then proceed to buy full system, 5000 Series system AMD with 3080.
How is it possible you went down 14 but I went down 20 for the gigabyte gaming oc?

Cancellations probably.

I'm over 1,000 in queue so definitely think it might be next year on the 3080 gaming trio X based on only 6 cards in this week. What is a realistic "TOP END" volume of cards OCUK could recieve in stock weekly when production ramps up.... 250+ or is that wishful thinking?. Be nice to know on previous card launches if they've ever had to get so much stock levels in or ever had to.

LOL you lot.
The further back in the queue you are the more people ahead of you can cancel in the same period of time. Hypothetically person A at position 10 and person B is position 20, and 5 cards ship, but the week person in position 15 cancels then person A moves up 5 positions and person B moves up 6 positions.
Some people will have pre-ordered from multiple sources with the intention of cancelling all the slowest ones after the quickest one has shipped, in which case even people near the front of the queue may cancel from time to time.
Same for the PS5. And they all use TSMC 7nm chips which makes me wonder if AMD aren't also going to have the same kind of supply issue at the big Navi launch.

its almost as if nobody has any thing else to do. You’d think there were no pubs, no restaurants, and everyone was stuck at home........oh, right.
Not if someone further to the back of the queue than you cancels...
Also if OCUK is using prepaid queue numbers to leverage supply then cancellations might weaken the leverage somewhat.
