Zotac clarified: “Almost twenty,000 pre-orders have been been given and, with the best of intentions, we cannot provide them in a brief time, as significantly as we wished. So again: We are infinitely sorry, but we also really don’t know what went wrong below.”
The report suggests that orders may perhaps need to be canceled, and that a ready time of weeks is anticipated for Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity GPUs to be delivered to all those non-canceled buyers.
Some people have claimed they’ve experienced their Amazon get for the Zotac 3080 canceled (on Reddit and Twitter), and other individuals have been notified that they’ll have to wait around, but an approximated shipping date hasn’t nonetheless been provided – not a good indicator.
