You’re missing the entire point. You can only give estimations based on verified order figures and those don’t exist. The manufacturers are not giving any concrete expectations, they’re literally sending them out as soon as they’ve been made.
You can’t make an estimation based on historical data on something that has no future expectation, it’s just not possible.
Recently JayzTwoCents said he’d heard that only 2000 units had hit the entire US since launch. That gives you some idea of how poor it really is.
Yes it would be easy if it was just the 3080 everyone was waiting on and not a whole PC with a numerous parts and ones that would differ greatly from one order to another.
Not all parts will always be in stock together, do we need a queue, tweets and pictures when PSU's come into stock as well, you know to keep everyone happy
They have said they dont know when or how much stock they will get, what is the use of me having a queue position of 208 and then not knowing how fast this queue may move, what happens if my PSU goes out of stock? what number in the queue am I then, 208 still? but then that would hold up 209+ orders up if they dont have the same PSU as me. So where am I in the queue now?
Yes the PSU may have a date when its back in stock but will this be before, after, same time as the 3080? how do they factor this into the queue position.
Like I said, 3080 on its own then it would be easy to say 200 people ordered before you so you are 201 in the queue, still dont know when you will get it though as they don't know how many orders are arriving at a time.
I am waiting on a PC myself just to add.

They have said any order with a 3080 placed now probably wont be ready for Christmas, so that tells you the size of the queue. People on here have said they ordered a few days after launch and have been told they might not get their build before Christmas.
Basically its a long queue, one a lot of us are in together, though with lots of other parts involved too.

On the plus side, by Easter, we'll all be best of friends...
Just had a look at another PC building company (may have a C and O in name).
Anyhow huge numbers of deleted threads on these cards and current thread is at 983 or so pages, everyone is peachy and happy, well those that don’t keep getting 48hr bans etc as know one knows what’s going on.
the grass is always greener.

ordered machine (with a 3080) nine days after it launched. I have made peace with the idea I wont be getting it till 2021.
it only take a 5 mins to post a tweet, they do it regularly already, its good marketing. Im sure many here would like to know every time 3080 get shipped, so it wouldn't be pointless for many, but i appreciate it may not be of interest to you.

It was quite clear what you meant as people are being pedantic. Unfortunately you can’t make any criticism of PCS on here so I wouldn’t bother airing any grievance and just use it to see if people post when they get their builds.
It is possible, you just have to tell the customer that it is based on previous stock arrival rates which may change for the better or worse, the resulting estimate is then relative to others in the queue.
- I don't think anyone, including PCS knew the extent of the stock issue.
I ordered at the start of October and actually had a live chat with PCS where I asked them directly how long the delay was for the 3080 and I was told 'currently 3-4 weeks'.
Evidently, that's not the case and the fact that there are still multiple orders pending from release day suggests this will go on for months until Nvidia finally pulls their finger out and starts mass producing the cards, better get comfortable

But that’s not how order systems work, so again, with current technology, it’s not possible. It’s fine to make up stuff out of thin air, but that’s not how the world works

We actually condone people giving honest feedback, but there’s a big difference between airing constructive criticism and being unduly negative.
You are verging on that line, tread carefully.

You say this but some suggesting using social media that already exists for the company to provide details of how many cards are coming in (a figure they will know as they have arrived) and is something that exists today (my own company has a whole social media division ) being told “your constructive ideas are plainly pointless” is ok? I mean if PCS posted up numbers of how many they received each batch that might actually help their case as we could all see how dire the situation is. Instead any suggestion like this gets shouted down.
My favourite part was when we complained about being told different information on how things worked and that being a frustration only to be told off by a mod then given a “how it worked example” then they saying but that’s only how it might work. Which is exactly the problem we complained about.
