AN UNMITIGATED DISASTER

fx1 · 20 Oct 2020 at 12:05

So i have just found out that one of the major retailers has received so far ZERO MSI Gaming Trio's so far!

Thats right.... Not a single card. They have had 3 deliveries of only the cheaper model.

So an entire month has passed since launch and no stock in the UK. They dont think anyone has received any stock of this card. If they did they got tiny numbers.

I have moved a whole 2 positions in the queue of over 900.

Any cards that are coming are being held back so they can sell full build gaming PC's.

I hope AMD come out with a good GPU so they can take away as many orders from Nvidia as possible. This paper launch is getting worse the more information that comes out.

If you are waiting on a Strix / Extreme or some other high end card i dont see anyone getting stock this year. The manufacturers are basically lying about the reality of supply.

This retailer claims all preorders should be fullfilled by end of November which as far as i can tell is a lie.

This is absolute unmitigated ********
System integration stock is handled through completely different channels to those put directly on sale. Stop spewing this crap

MSI 3090 Gaming Trio so far 27 received and shipped.
MSI 3080 Gaming Trio so far 55 received and shipped.

Fingers crossed more due next week, but no confirmation yet.

Shipments are small and far between, NVIDIA are telling me production of GPUs is now ramping and all board partners should be sticking more volume in 2-3 weeks worldwide.

SI stock is separate to retail stock and has no impact, the above was all retail customers.
However so far I believe MSI has not allocated any SI stock yet on Gaming Trio, no doubt because MSI believe Gaming Trio is not an SI product in early stages.

Some people think graphics cards are a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

When can we expect a delivery of you having a mental breakdown over this entire situation and the community response?

I've already had several. Praying AMD do a better job with their upcoming launches.

That’s uncalled for!

Just cancel, you've been mugged off for £800, get it back.

I haven't heard much about this, but Nvidia are currently building several HUGE supercomputers around the world (one in Cambridge, one in Italy...) with 10s of thousands of Ampere based GPUs. I think it's clear the vast majority of their production capacity is going there rather than gaming cards.

james.miller · 20 Oct 2020 at 12:22

Cancel it, move on. Don't let it upset you. vote with your wallet, because that's the only thing nvidia are really interested in and it's the only way they'll learn.

I would have to check but I think they will be using 7nm TSMC for anything professional which has got nothing to do with the 8nm Samsung used in the 3XXX cards.

This. It's no crisis, just cancel and take your money elsewhere.

Like to AMD when they launch their cards for instance.

AMD have an open goal here, just watch them completely balls it up!

If they are A100 chips they are on TSMC 7Nm not Samsung 8NM.

@Gibbo
Can you please answer the question I asked you in the other thread.
You said that 10 of the 3080 trios have been dispatched on the 15th.
How come sub 100 queue moved only 6-7 places and positions 4 and 5 didn't move at all?

Are the parts of the business completely separate? Memory also?

Here is a professional card, different GPU and HBM2 memory.

And the PCI-E version

Because I have no idea, that is my answer unfortunately. 10 were for retail, 10 were booked in for retail and 10 shipped out for retail, that is all I can see, 10 in, 10 out, I cannot see the finer specifics and thus cannot really answer your question, sorry I cannot be of any real help.
