Finally some good (ish) news in relation to AMD Zen3 CPUs!! We've been given a weekly forecast from AMD from now until early April. The good news is that it covers a large chunk of back orders. The bad news is that.. well, some ETAs are early April. At a minimum everyone now has an understanding of timing.

If you don't have an ETA now for your AMD cpu, it won't be until mid April at the earliest.

Supply of RTX30 and RX6000 series graphics cards continues to be tight. The latest update from nvidia on RTX30 series supply is that supply will be increasing substantially in the last week of February so hopefully we'll be picking up similar momentum to what we had late last year later this month. RTX3070 is still the highest throughput of all the chipsets.

You can check if you have an ETA by going into MyPLE -> Orders -> Edit Order, next to your preorder product will be either No ETA or a date. Thursdays and Fridays are generally the days to check but an ETA could come any day. This is also where you can cancel or swap to a different card. If you don't have a password, use the password reset facility with your order email address to set a password.

Once you have an ETA, when the card arrives at our warehouse (or the store you're picking up from) you'll see a green tick next to your graphics card. That means it is just waiting to be sent out. Our dispatch team can confirm they've been flat out packaging and dispatching cards all week and there are still more to send. If in your MyPLE it says your card is in stock (green tick) please be patient as we get it ready to go.

Finally - the phones and emails are very busy. Please be patient when trying to get in touch :)

Supply of RTX30 and RX6000 series graphics cards and Zen3 processors continues to be tight. Unfortunately January hasn't seen the supply volumes that we did in November and December. After discussions with all related supply partners we're expecting the remainder of January to continue to be limited additional supply and that things won't improve until February. Unless any news of importance arises, our next update will be in early February.

All allocations for the year are now in for RTX30 and RX6000 graphics cards and AMD Zen3 processors, please check your MyPLE now to see if you have received an ETA.

There will be no further updates until 8th of January after supply partners have re-opened following the festive season closures. Our team will still be receiving and dispatching stock that is in transit to PLE!

Specifically with Zen 3, last week we mentioned that we were expecting at least one shipment before Christmas, maybe two. We can confirm that only one shipment will arrive before Christmas and we will have a priority on attempting to ensure they're dispatched out the moment they arrive. The other shipment we have been given an ETA of 06/01/2021 by AMD.

All allocations for the week are now in for RTX30 and RX6000 graphics cards and AMD Zen3 processors, please check your MyPLE now to see if you have received an ETA. This week saw good allocation on RTX3080 and RTX3090 and a significant allocation of RTX3070.

Supply and allocation of both AMD Zen3 processors and RX6000 graphics cards continues to be very tight. As per the original Nvidia RTX3080 launch we're expecting more detailed information from AMD as time progresses and we'll keep you posted as we have more information.

​​​​​​​On the Zen3 processor front there is some good news and bad news. The good news is we were able to secure another batch of Ryzen 5900X - a solid number of you who didn't have an ETA will now have an ETA.

The bad news is the existing shipment that has been delayed a couple of times is delayed again. We're assured that the order will be fulfilled however we're not presently able to advise a reliable ETA. Of course the additional allocation we received this week (ETA 22/12), if we have not received the delayed shipment then these processors will be provided to the first in queue and the people who received 22/12 ETA will slip (most likely into January).

The AMD Zen3 processor and RX6000 graphics card shortages are global supply issues and out of our control.

Unfortunately we didn't receive the last two manufacturer stock allocations until 11pm AEDT last night (Friday night) so we weren't able to get an update out. All allocations for the week are now in, please check your MyPLE now to see if you have received an ETA. If there is any other information of significance to report we will do another update early next week.

We have updated the RTX30 Buying Guide to now also include the percentage complete we are with fulfillment of each RTX30 graphics card sku. If you're after a RTX3080 without the long wait, pick a card at the top of our buying guide. Quite a few people have secured either an ETA or a card within a week or two by doing this. The cards in the lower half of the buying guides have either poor supply, big queues, or both. That means extended waits.

Buying guide for RX6000 will be available once the additional sku's launch and we have some more clarity around the supply situation.

Update time, here is the important information for the week.

RTX30 - Similar allocation numbers to previous few weeks. All additional supply for the week is now entered. The last purchase order for another 200 cards was entered about 4pm AEDT. Go check your MyPLE to see if you have an ETA.

Zen3 - Similar allocation to last week. We're waiting for some forecasts from AMD before we can make more information available. If we receive information early next week, we'll post here before Friday :)

RX6000 - Reference cards we sold only what we had confirmed supply for, which was tight. Some "AIB" cards launched this week (which we were under NDA until after they launched at 1am) with very limited stock coming and as always we're pushing manufacturers for forecasts but at this stage nothing we can share. More AIB sku's will launch in the coming weeks and we'll execute exactly the same process as RTX30 - prior to putting new sku's online, we will reach out to individual customers in the queue for existing RX6000 cards with an opportunity to card swap and receive an ETA in the queue order.

This week our team has been at maximum capacity dispatching many pallets of orders for RTX30, Zen3 and RX6000. It has been hectic, hopefully you received one of these this week! (sorry for the crappy image, marketing have finished for the day)

Our biggest week yet of RTX30 graphics card allocations from manufacturers, a good sign for the weeks to come. All additional supply for the week has now been entered in into our system, please log in to MyPLE and check whether you got an ETA or are still waiting.

Moving forward we'll be posting all updates and commentary regarding supply of RTX30 here. You'll get an email whenever we post an update. Not a lot of news this week but please see the following key pieces of information.

We talk to the manufacturers of RTX30 cards every day. Whenever we can secure cards we place orders for them. As soon as we enter the order into our system, it allocates ETAs. So you could get an ETA any day of the week. That is why a weekly email that includes whether you got an ETA is now redundant and we have stopped.

You can check if you have an ETA by going into MyPLE -> Orders -> Edit Order, next to your RTX30 graphics card will be either No ETA or a date. Thursays and Fridays are generally the days to check but an ETA could come any day. This is also where you can cancel or swap to a different card. If you don't have a password, use the password reset facility with your order email address to set a password.

Once you have an ETA, when the card arrives at our warehouse (or the store you're picking up from) you'll see a green tick next to your graphics card. That means it is just waiting to be sent out. This week we've had a lot of cards arrive at the warehouses, our team has worked tirelessly to get them out as quickly as possible.

Both RTX3070 and RTX3090 have in stock options available. Check the RTX30 Buying Guide and you can see the top cards for both 3070 and 3090 generally have one or more locations in stock. If you're after a RTX3080 without the long wait, pick a card at the top of our buying guide. Quite a few people have secured either an ETA or a card within a week or two by doing this. The cards in the lower half of the buying guides have either poor supply, big queues, or both. That means extended waits.

The weekly update will come out on Friday's going forward. Given we have been receiving allocation from EVGA (the biggest queue) on Fridays, moving the update to Friday's allows us to provide a better update. We also have some updates that we'll be publishing next week to the buying guide to give you more information about choosing which card to buy or swap to.
