really? that sucks mate. i was really confused aswell how that worked out . but im not complaining :/

 

[DaveGW]

I need a gpu, I also want one, but the need is greater than the want part. If that even makes sense. If I didn't need one I probably wouldn't bother for another 5 million years or so lol

Hear that.

And my 3090 FTW3 order from yesterday is cancelled. I must admit after what I have been reading on the EVGA forums, they have made a HW revision to the board to resolve power distro issues and started a RMA process (US) last week and its coming to EU. Glad I swerved this board. (And the long wait for a Strix - no preorder - continues)

Hi All,

Sorry to ask something that must be getting asked a lot recently - I have had a search through this thread and the stock thread but can't quite find the answer:

Is ordering from OCUK just a matter of keeping a close eye on the product pages? I can see the stock thread says some stock is incoming, and that people are talking about a queue and successfully placing orders, but I haven't been able to see any stock the few times I have checked.

I also saw a post saying the GPUs are sometimes in the 3D Printer section? I'm just wondering if there is something I am missing.

Cheers,

edit: Maybe I am misreading Gibbo's posts? Are the card he is mentioning 'due' on the stock
thread ones that will be free to be ordered?

In summary from what I understand;

- Whole GPU market worldwide is ******
- OCUK took pre-orders for cards at launch, up to maybe end of January
- No more pre-orders due to lack of stock
- Lists of preorders you see from Gibbo are from months ago that still haven't been able to be fulfilled
- Any New, free stock (months away probably for most SKUs of 30-series) is listed on the OCUK site, with maybe a warning beforehand from Gibbo to give forum members a 5-10s advantage.
- Yes, it really is that bad

 

[Mega Maniac]

Ok great thanks, kinda what I thought but worried I was missing out on some inside knowledge

So the post on the 18th March that said:

"Gigabyte 3090 Gaming OC x2"

Are these just the dribble that they do get, and sell out in a heartbeat, or do they never make it onto the site at all?

 

[Jazmodo]

Unfortunately not, those x2 Gigabyte 3090 Gaming OC went to the 39 backorders on that card - see Gibbo's big post from 12th March.

Right, I think I'm there. So the 'best bet' at the moment is hoping the 100x KFA HOF come in in April... should I want to really damage my wallet.

Pretty much.

Knowing our luck, the entire UK 30-series shipment is probably stuck in the Suez canal

 

[DD_Crash]

I bet the price has gone up on them as well!

 

[AlexaJ]

Well I almost got the updated msi suprim but the site crashed before I could checkout and then they were gone. I'm not sure what the difference is between that and the one I have preordered though

Are you based in Ireland by any chance? Just wondered cause I saw earlier posts about border/vat/courier issues.

Nah, in England. Posted a query about my order just to check there's no problems with it but hopefully it was just a mistake.

Managed to get a Strix 3090 OC like I wanted. It has been a long .. long wait. But ya know what? the card is phenomenal and surpasses my expectations.

Got a link to this info? I've been following the EVGA 3090 and to a lesser extent the 3080 black screen / power issues, but didn't know they've revised the hardware to fix the issue.

 

[VegasBaby]

I'm actually sending my Strix 3090 back as I'm having the black screen issue on boot too after 2 days. Turned system on today and black screen, I managed to get it to post once but after a few seconds black screen.

I tried different riser cables, direct plugging, different power plugs, different display port cables, different monitors entirely etc - Can't believe it to be honest after 6 months of waiting the card I get dies after 48 hours. I hadn't overclocked it or anything, just running it stock.

Guess I'll be back in queue soon enough.
