I was born and raised in China, lived in Japan, and now hold a US passport.

I am wrong in every way, all the damn time.

Ask me about my tattoos.

Gaming X Trio is testing even better for sound & performance. I think it's like $50 over FE though.

Wouldn't be surprised if the only 3090s in existence are the one Jensen held in the video (debatable) and maybe the product images we've seen.

My guess is only 1-2 Youtube reviewers will get one, and they'll be told they can't keep them, too.

I dunno why people think this was botted when pretty much only Shopify-oriented bots exist for sneakers. There's clearly just virtually zero stock and it's a fake launch for press

(edit: unless NVidia magically throws up inventory late for some reason)

Keep in mind the Gaming X Trio is GIGANTIC. Like 323mm long.

The Ventus 3x is a more sane 305mm long but I haven't seen any reviews for it yet.

Same! Out of interest how much were you charged? They were up for £650 when I ordered but got charged £720 :v:

Huh? It's not like it's that hard to make a bot for it. Just because you didn't find an easily downloadable one to use doesn't mean others didn't make their own.

I mean I'm less pessimistic overall than most people here, and even I assumed everything would be out of stock on 3080 launch day in like a picosecond.

probably. what sucks is NVIDIA knew this was going to happen and didn't put any measures in to help us not waste our loving time

like, we're all likely adults with jobs and steady incomes to spend X on this dumb rear end powerful GPU, don't make us go through the loving 18 year old buying yeezys experience

Can't Lose


I got an order in at Adorama for the MSI Gaming X Trio right at 9:00 AM Eastern, but even at that time it was listed as "Backordered" so I have no idea if they will be fulfilling the order or not. Their site is no longer letting them be added to carts, so I am hoping I made it in under the wire.

Closer than I could get at any other retailer, I never even saw an "add to cart" button on Best Buy, Amazon, or Newegg.

If it was that easy there would be thousands of easily accessible ones, and these sites are presumably all using different payment backends, unlike sneaker boutiques which mostly all use Shopify. You'd also hear people actually talking about it. No one hides the fact that sneaker bots exist and everyone who's into that kind of thing knows all the names. Similar stuff would happen for tech items.

I managed to put an order through on CCL for a 3080 Ventus, but the delivery date specified in the email is 1st October :ughh: Looks like I just got a 2 week pre-order.

Wasn't my first or second choice either so not gonna lie I have a little bit of buyers remorse, I really wanted a founders or ASUS TUF one, but at least it's sorted and who know maybe they'll send it sooner!

coachella, nike, adidas, etc etc, not my first rodeo by a long shot, and i've absolutely never experienced a product launch this bad

since like 2015 queuing and anti-bot measures have been pretty popular for anything that sells out fast, IDK what the gently caress Nvidia thought was going to happen here

I'm yet to see anyone with a confirmed order from Nvidia. Stock was either gently caress all or hasn't been released.

Some rep did say on their forums yesterday that they wouldn't reveal the exact time of the stock's availability to avoid resellers getting everything. Not sure that I follow the logic (bots gonna bot) but I'm going to refresh the store at the hour and half-hour mark for a while yet.

Welp, best buy says ROG 3080 is a "sold out" not "coming soon" but a rummer said it was delayed.

Good news the TUF card is a peach because the ROG card has an even bigger cooler with a huge block.
