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

[WesleyBurns]

If AMD play it right everything will shift to them this time with the GPUs (not to mentioned the 5000 sure win), AMD have a lot of eggs in at least 2 baskets.
NVidia only starting to move out of GPUs with their latest acquisitions, they need to be worried.

Any news on the next shipment for Twin X2 OC 3080?

The only update yesterday was that the X3 & X4 have not left HK yet, nothing on the next batch of X2.

I can't believe that you'd consider giving a company which you admit has screwed you over even more money! If it were me I'd stick two fingers up at them and buy the product from one of their competitors and make sure I didn't buy anything from them again!

You're right, it's pretty depraved of me but my choices right now are limited to keeping this order, praying it'll come soonish or cancelling and becoming an F5 warrior with other retailers. But I'll be holding out on my preorder for now and looking for an EVGA or MSI somewhere.

WAIT HOLD UP!

Why are AIB's trying to make OC cards when the GPU itself crashes going above 2Ghz?

thats not an issue anymore, it was a overly aggressive vbios they have nurfed via driver fix's anyone trying to push their card to hard will still get a crash,
and the cards are still oc' compaired to base spec.

as for why they are going for oc over regular, well i think they are yielding better bins and oc cards are more desirable ?! not sure about that one

 

[Andydigital]

AMD are busy making chips for the consoles, I doubt their PC GPU output will be any better than NVidia's, probably worse if anything.

What’s even more disgusting is the fact that OCUK are still allowing pre orders for the non OC Asus cards when they know full well they aren’t in production, so anyone that’s not a member on here has no idea they will wait until the middle of next year for a card

Don’t count on that

 

[jaycob]

So I'm guessing if AIB's are putting out more OC's. If they end up shipping hundreds of OC cards will OCUK contact us non OC day 1 orders have the ability to pay extra to get the cards before 2021?

From what Gibbon has told us it sounds like AIB's have given up trying to make what is being ordered and got greedy while ******* everyone off.

@Gibbo

Based on the Asus Tuf non OC update, do you think *any* will be arriving soon, or are they just not being produced at all at this point?

Thanks.

Pretty sure from his update they aren't being produced and the AIB's are saving anything that comes in for OC cards. This has to be the worst launch right?

If some people are so desperate to get 3080 in their hands then competitors website states that they are expecting some cards which outstanding orders is 0 therefore they are going to be available to order confirmed.

The OC and non-OC are practically the same card, both will boost to about the same level after adjustment.
The only real difference is ASUS and retailers make a larger £££ margin on the OC model.

Yeah, the way I understand it is better yields guarantee you higher clocks and even the non-OC products can be OC'd it does not mean it is going to be stable

 

[Nutloose]

Sounds more like standard and underclocked than the other way round.

 

[FatFishMonster]

Pretty rubbish news for the non OC Asus TUF. There was me thinking "ah it wont be so bad, im 134 in the queue"

I am tempted to cancel and just try the random lottery for the ones that come into stock elsewhere. Although that might prove less successful.

No they are doing the nice thing and calling their customers who are already in a queue and offering them an alternative that is in stock. That is how I got my 3080 last Saturday.

Pretty much here. If mine doesn't show up before CyberPunk it'll be an AMD for me even though I kinda don't want to because pretty sure it won't be as good as a 3080. plus I'll be losing features going with AMD as I'm using my GPU for inhome streaming using MoonLight.

Yeah I doubt OcUK will be doing that though and even if they did they will be like that will be an extra £200 on top please. **** that.

Looks like the 3080 might struggle with 60 fps 4k watchdogs with rtx and dlss

Th 3090 manages it barley. Dame the fps with native 4k with rtx on is scary low
