Is it even worth going to a local best buy to see if they got any in stock?

There was briefly a "buy now" button on nvidia's site that didn't do anything when I clicked it.

Probably. I saw Add to Cart flicker on and off so fast I only just managed to click one.

Those seconds signing into my BB account when I clicked check out were likely my doom.

nah not even that, i literally had the card go from in my cart to gone in the second it took to click.

it was all botters

no, bb said it was online only as they got so few they couldn't send them to stores

No, if it were in stock in the store you'd see that on the website.

£759 holy poo poo. Well, as long as you're happy about it.

Bit of a kick in the nuts (again) for the 2080Ti (ex)owners who sold their cards on eBay for cheap thinking they would actually be able to snag one of these for RRP.

Pretty sure I got the MSI Gaming X Trio, but for some reason the shop's website is a bit sluggish.

At least the reviews for the partner cards seem like the coolers are very good.

Well I hope that this is indeed a paper launch and they can restock as much as possible, I'm in the big boat where we're all just wanting a card before cyberpunk comes out. I don't mind the wait so much as I mind having to check constantly if stuff is in stock.

gently caress it, I'm not even gonna bother. I'll just wait until the internet calms down and then put my name on a waiting list or something.

Same. F5'ing NVIDIA and Best Buy on 1GB FIOS went from NOTIFY ME to OUT_OF_STOCK instantly. I'm guessing they all got nabbed by internal employees.

yeah there was likely never stock to begin with. i imagine employees were able to buy 1 card or something and everyone got one to use or scalp on ebay

You didn't miss poo poo. No one got one, no button even came up.

There is no way that wasn't all snagged by bots, or there were only like 50 cards.

EVGA added the 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming to their Step-Up list. Assuming more models will be added as time goes on, but I think I'm gonna jump on that one to step-up from a 2070s. Hoping it gets here by CP2077 but if not the 2070s will manage fine.

Yeah that's the insane thing. Why can't we just place orders and we'll get it when we get it? Instead we have to play f5 sniper for the next however many months it takes for the bots to stop grabbing them all.

Amazingly, AIB cards are still in stock at Komplett. The Zotac one is presumably a reference board of the Palit/Gainward persuasion, and it's at the same MSRP as the FE :norway:

Yeah this is exactly what I want, and what I assume will be possible after every single computer parts seller's website stops getting DDOS'd.

Dunno if Best Buy does it, but here most of the online shops I usually use usually just let you buy a thing even if it's out of stock and they'll ship it to you when they get it in stock.

Def sold on the ROG card then because it has a an even bigger cooler and its got a huge mono block.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
magic cards are often subject to similar pressures

cardkingdom is a "newegg equivilent" in the Magic The Gathering vending world

when you start buying a card on CK, it reserves it in your cart for the duration of the transaction up to a couple minutes

this seems like basic logic that any modern online POS system should have implemented; kinda insane that Newegg uses the "if someone else gets their card through before you, sorry!" model

i want one of these things but I'll wait until February before I'll pay much of a premium

Power limits so far

MSI Gaming X Trio - 350W
Palit Gaming Pro - 350W
Founders Edition - 370W
ASUS TUF - 375W

Nobody pushing past the safe limit of 2x8pin yet, not even the MSI which has 3x8pins
