Thats hilarious.... im 368!! 2 boardies so close.... and yet so far from ever getting the card!

In the mean time im keeping my eye out for a 3080 and ill just cancel if i get one.

Look it will come when it comes. They seem to get them in in the hundreds with each re-up. I thought I had a scan order on launch day but due to sniping I was gazzumped by bots between checkout and 3d verification on my credit card, took days figure out I had no order.

When it comes it look to be a beast of a card, totally overbuilt, and the on board fan controllers for case fans is a major advantage.

I'd be fine with OCUK, if it was a deposit system. Say 50 quid to put your name down or something. But giving them the guts of 800 quid to blindly hold on to just doesn't sit right with me. Especially considering they've added a decent margin on top of the cards MSRPs too.

I just got as far as "add to basket" for one on Amazon.Uk

Sickened with myself that I am disappointed that I didn't successfully spend almost 900e on a graphics card....

evga notify is great but sadly no love for us europeans from evga..again

this is only for their usa market

I dont particularly like how OCUK are doing it tbh... but they are openly telling people how they are doing it. if you want to get in the queue you can, if you dont like it then dont. i would like a bit more transparency prior to putting in the preorder... ie you know how many pre orders are in prior to them taking your money. I pre ordered with them and cancelled and in fairness they promptly returned the money.

EVGA have just made what i think is the best system, Where by you add yourself to the notify me queue... you then will get an email once they have a card allocated to you. the stock assigned to you is available to you for 5 hours. if you fail to order in the allocated time the card is reassigned to next in the queue. by far the best system. only thing missing if you want to be picky is not knowing where you are in the queue.

If there are only 2 pre-orders of Palit 3080 cards waiting to be filled, then why are they not taking more pre-orders for these cards?

Apparently they've said they'll offer any further stock to people who are on the list for other cards first. Not sure if that's accurate but was mentioned on the Nvidia subreddit.

They've also said they won't reopen preorders until they have a better idea of guaranteed stock too. I think overclockers are the only company out there still taking preorders despite the stock coming down the line being completely unknown

They must have had fewer orders overall, they are the budget brands , or at least are perceived that way.
Still its good information and if you wanted a card, at least it looks like that ordering one of those will get you a card faster.

Think it's the opposite and that all their orders have been more or less fulfilled apart from the couple ones left there

So around 4k RTX 3080 & 1k RTX 3090.

That's big but not nearly as many as I expected.

For comparison, Apple shipped 37.7 million iPhone 11 units in Q1-Q2'2020.

Scan closed off their pre orders fairly sharp after release, think they limited it to like 500 per card. Overclockers said they were at around 8K for all 3080 cards in terms of pre-orders.

That's just two UK retailers though, so a small sliver really especially considering they're preorders and not confirmed stock which would probably sell more.

Homelander

I am not sure I get the point there.

Scan are just a single UK based company among hundreds so I am not sure what you could take from that. Multiple that by every other retail outfit in....well, literally the entire world.

Not to mention the countless numbers of people who want the RTX cards but waiting for supply to settle down.

All fair points - I wonder what their profit margin is this generation vs the previous.

Mucashinto

Not sure tbh. From his view, and the shareholders, what is the problem? People are killing themselves to buy their products faster than they can make them? Nice problem to have, share price up over 15% the last month as well.

If AMD don’t have a viable alternative to make nvidia look bad they way they did intel, nvidia are golden for the foreseeable future imo. I’m sure they can live with Reddit threads and YouTube videos complaining about stock availability. Probably just ramping up the FOMO at the end of the day anyway.

It can’t last forever though, it will just attract new competitors into the space eventually if AMD aren’t up to it. With no real competition pushing them nvidia will suffer/stagnate as Intel did imo.

The Jensen quotes seemed to me to be a self defence thing to protect himself from shareholder ire as a result of the bad publicity from the launch.

I think he pretty much said: "We don't have a supply problem - we have a demand problem"

Great auld PR spin ....

Keep seeing Jensen saying all that in a Trump way for some reason “huge demand, tremendous demand, everybody’s saying it” etc

Cmon AMD/Lisa, be the hero we need

Such a pain in the bollox. Hopefully between AMD's release and the 3070 launch things might spread out a bit more demand wise.

Was really hoping to have something top notch for Cyberpunk and Watchdogs over the winter break.

If I did not have the PS5 to look forward to tide me over I would lose the plot, absolutely crazy.

I was optimistic that I would get one in the next month or so but thats not gonna happen.

I wonder if this is one of those statements they make in order to boost their stock price. If you read the whole thing, it sounds like one of those messages.

"[...] we're going to have a really really big Q4 season."

So just been thinking about the 3070 there and how Nvidia held it back to "create more stock for release" on the convenient date of the 29th of October 1 day after big navi reveal and also the review embargo has been held back till that day also.

My silly opinion on it is that...

A) The 3070 wont out preform the 2080ti in most cases bar RTX benchmarks and like the 3090 people will have to have bought the card before reviews and reliable benchmarks are up.

2) They are affraid of what ever AMD have ready that not only their top tier card but maybe even then next one or 2 in line will make the 3070 look well not so good so they may even drop the price before launch (wont stop Scan, ocuk and others gouging though).

:pac: ) they are actually going to just release a 3070 super/ti instead to match what ever AMD have.

Again just my silly opinions no facts (or pointless Bobbbbbyyyy G articles to quote

)

Fook that so....I will wait with the money in my sky rocket!

I contemplated sticking my name down as well for one but figured may as well wait fo AMD at this rate, and even see if Nvidia release more founders. Especially since OC have added a premium to most of the cards too.

CrazyFish

Got my dispatch email today for evga 3080 ftw ultra from scan today. I got my order in at like 2.15 on the launch day.

The issue with the OCUK queues is that even though you're given a queue number (after you've ordered and there's no indication at all beforehand) there's no ETAs or any other information given about expected stock etc. So it's impossible to even guess when you would get a card. Could be weeks, could be months.

There's a few cards that people are up into the thousands in the queue for, apparently they've just under 9000 pre-orders across all variants for the 3080 at the moment.

Fook that so....I will wait with the money in my sky rocket!

36th in Q.
Ordered on the first day 1hr after pre-order launch.

This information is still better than Scan.
I have no queue number, and no clue how many they have received and shipped.
