Again it could be that they are expecting the queue to move faster than the 850 stock? It doesn't make sense otherwise... it could also simply be an automated email as they are quite known for those.

I'm confused, what do you mean 'got your 3080 today'? Did you order the 3080 from somewhere else?

See my comment above. The email is worded the way you are saying but what I think they mean is that should a card turn up for you they don't want your build delayed by the PSU being out of stock... I believe they are expecting a few shipments this month going from grumblings on other forums.

Your GPU is a pre-order so technically this is correct as there is no stock level alert for the 3080. I ordered on October 7th and received the same email, I have ordered a Rog Strix 3080 though if that makes a difference?

I think a lot of people got that email, I updated my build to use the 1000w too. 750w may be enough but I felt better at 850w so for me the bigger PSU is worth it.

I've made a basic order tracking spreadsheet on a separate thread here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/rtx-3080-queue-tracking-document.74038/#post-522662

Nah not rubbing it in at all mate. On a totally unrelated note... does that website where you mail poop to someones house still exist? :LOL:

One of the worst scams currently is this 'Excellent Quality Print' where this guy has deliberately listed in the graphics card section so people will bid thinking its for the RTX 3080 and receive a glossy photo instead...

And the scalpers have already got them listed on eBay.. some even have the original screenshots showing they only paid 500 for it in the advert... unbelievable.

Watchdogs 2 is a laggy horrible mess of a game but I got it running by ensuring it was running as an admin (enable this setting even if you are using an admin account). I believe there are some other fixes online for this if you google as well. Valorant runs kernal cheat detection software so...

Is a 550W powerful enough for that build? Seems quite low but I'm not an expert at the 2060. Stuttering/freezing can also be caused by your CPU, have you updated the BIOS since you've had the machine? Have you run memtest or Cinebench on the machine to see if it freezes or locks up at a certain...

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about the RTX 3000 series plug placement? It kinda irks me that it juts out to the side. Also the fact is 12 pin despite only needing 6... why? :cautious:

Considered it but having looked at the reviews it seemed to simply be a (albeit cheaper) reformed 2080TI. When I went to change the card as soon as PCS allowed it (it wouldn't let me at 1pm) it told me stock had already been surpassed so I'm expecting the same issues as with the 3080 tbh. If my...

Went to order but already get a stock message saying too many orders, think I'll either hang on for the Rog Strix or swap to AMD if I'm still waiting by the end of November. Thanks Nvidia.

It won't let me change my order as it says you can't order it until a date in October.. :/

TBH I'm quite happy with November. It would be about the only good thing to happen in 2020!

I'm debating swapping it out.... but then I also want to change to the new Ryzen CPU next week too and knowing my luck Nvidia will ship these cards and my build will complete with the old cpu :( If I delay my dispatch can I change out the components around that time or will it still be built...

Skip to about 20 minutes into that video I posted, the benchmarks show that the 3070 DLSS/ray tracing hasn't improved at all apparently.

I guess I'll hijack this thread but I've just been looking at the benchmarks for the 3070 as I'm gaming at 1440p and I wonder if this would be adequate for my needs. Looking at Hardware Unboxed review and its the same thing over and over it matches the 2080 TI, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a...

I called PCS today to confirm that my build was not being held up by anything other than the 3080 (I've ordered the Strix). The guy (Sam) was extremely helpful, PCS have been having stock issues across the board (almost like there's a global pandemic or something?), he said other than the 3080...
