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

---- CUSTOMER SUPPORT INFORMATION ----
-- ASUS STRIX OC and NON-OC --

Decided this information would be useful for you guys as well since there is not a good way to get any full truth from the information we get on the official forums.

Decided to give my 2 cents and call the customer service regarding the SMALL and VERY SMALL quantities issue.

- I was told there were actually 13 cards
- Turns out maybe there were not 13 cards; there were actually 13 NON-OC cards and there were indeed just 6 cards for the OC
- When asked why did the forum post mentions a SMALL quantity when 6 is a VERY small one I was told that Gibbo was probably reffering to OC + Non-OC (doesn't really make sense since there were no NON-OC updates up till now and I'm sure the NON-OC people would have liked to have this information)

A competitor must have received at least 11 Strix OC 3080s over the last couple of days as I moved from 61 to 50 in their queue.

 

[Zeed]

It went straight from coming soon to out of stock. I feel like I didn't even get a chance

Left NV UK few nice comments on Twater.

 

[RandyNinja]

the nvidia website literally never updated. The only people who got a card either were using bots, or got a link from someone using a bot.

I posted the link in nvidia discord only used distil to let me know when the buy button went live then sent the link to discord. Was up a good 7 minutes lol

 

[llamadal]

had a 3090 in my basket but I just couldn't do it, will keep searching for a 3080 and see if ocuk deliver first (low in queue on strix oc) or I can source elsewhere

 

[Zeed]

It is out of stock. The nvidia site never updated.

Yup Thats why went to twater to say how it is.

Was not up at all got photo proof at NV store there was no buy button at all.

I dont understand people who use bots to get masses of the cards. It just doesnt make sense, and the people willing to pay well over RRP to get it a few months earlier are just as bad as the scalpers

 

[sunshinewelly]

this must knock the previous OC fanatics comments that OC were next to be included for FE drops

what - FE cards are £649

I'm literally so disappointed at this point, I've tried so hard to be patient, but after @Gibbo gives us his metrics for terms he uses, only to receive SIX cards (putting me from 23rd in queue to 17th) is literally terrible. How within 3 STRIX OC shipments in a month do you get shipments of 3, 9 and 6, it's literally ludicrous at this point. I know the size of the shipments is nothing to do with with Overclockers, but stop with the BS numbers. Don't list a shipment as something as low as 10 but potentially as high as 30 only to get nearly HALF the lowest number.

/rant.

There's a good chance he isn't lying, they might have received the amount he expected, but they are satisfying 2 different parts of the business!!!

Sadly to keep one side of the business working, they need to take from the pot.

Well it was for me and they used my link in the telegram app. Had people in the discord telling me the page never changed to buy also so I'm not sure what happened with that.

 

[deardevildude]

I was talking about the people who buy from the scalpers and pay like £1,000 for it just because a scalper using a bot managed to get it a bit quicker.

 

[fastboy]

yep never came with buy now for me either...really peed off with this.

 

[Flake87]

Whatt?? I'm confused sorry, i haven't been religiously following the situation - just had heard there was a close to large order..

And that is true, however it was split into three smaller shipments, one of which has already arrived and been delivered to end users. The other as of Monday was still in HK the information given was that it should have shipped late last week or early this, and then that they don't stay long with the frieght forwader a week at most before being despatched to the UK.
We haven't heard anything either way, but they should have left HK by now or something has gone wrong.

Totally agree.

I was 19th now lucky 13...

Felt kinda hopeful and a bit gutted when I got the email to simply say 'queue update' but, honestly, if I was number 9 in the queue and expected to be included in this '10-30' order - man, I'd be livid... Not sure the 'very small/small/OK' descriptions are a good way to go. In my mind, it creates expectations when now, one two/three occasions nothing has come to fruition.

That's just for the OC Strix - let alone other queues.

the nvidia website literally never updated. The only people who got a card either were using bots, or got a link from someone using a bot.

Luckily I had a direct link to the buy page which was posted up. The buy button never got chance to appear on Nvidia. I knew the Nvidia OOS link changed 5 mins earlier, so I was on multiple forums on multiple screens.

 

[Chivaro]

The buy now button wasn't there. Bet the bots grabbed them if there were any.

Aside from the fact that Gibbos post clearly said Strix OC (with no mention of Non) hopefully someone in the Non-OC queue can confirm by way of a queue update email, otherwise something very off is going on if this is true!

But at this point that's literally a lie, he is NOT referring to both he specifically mentioned "small amount of STRIX 3080 OC" nothing about non-OC, it's such a joke at this point.
