Now the scene's lighting is perfect!
I wonder if Nvidia has produced more than a thousand cards in total. Founder's Edition, more like Limited Edition.

So RTX 3080 is basically vaporware at this point. Doesn't really matter that a few random samples exist in the wild...

Ordered the MSI Gaming X Trio 3080 from a local retailer, should be arriving next week on the 25th. Looks like it's the best of the AIB bunch so far.

lol looks like amazon fr and de cancelled the orders of the folks who preordered prior to launch.

i'd guess that the vast majority of euro orders (esp those thru regional stores) are not going to come through

Oh yeah amazon.fr is in the process of terminating all the Rog Strix preorders (mine was canned yesterday).. wierdly enough it's not everybody at the same time as reports have been coming in since yesterday from people saying they had "just then" been notified of cancellation.

I also have a preorder on amazon.de, probably going to get canned too.

Just woke up and checked my order with them, the delivery date has changed to Monday 21st Sep. No email was sent to notify of the change though so if you haven't already log into the site and check they haven't stealth-changed it.

Good luck and I hope you get yours today!
I won't, but I'm not too bothered. I've got a i7-3930k in a ~7 year old PC and I ordered an EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA because I got carried away with the goings on. It became a bit of a quest yesterday to see if I could snag one. I've got 690 GTX SLI (which cost £1800 and I got about 6 months of use from before my PC was packed away for ~6 years) so at least it should be an upgrade over that.

Not taking it out of the bag yet since I can't install til later. This thing is HUGE. Like, we knew they were gonna be big but holding it in your hand, its massive, and heavy. And this isn't even the biggest one.

misandry is real
Having a pre-order in with a mom and pop retailer here in Canada sucks. Just found out they're not "participating" in the GeForce bundle so no Watch Dogs Legion or GeForce Now with my card, and zero idea when they're actually getting them in, or how many.

At least I'll get it eventually.

Edit: and I guess I could have waited for stock to come back in on 850w PSUs instead of just settling for a 1000W one so I could have it in time for the card.

Proshop update: they sent out a release to some customers saying they had sold their entire RTX 3080 allotment in "seconds" after 4 PM yesterday, but "their system couldn't keep up", which is why they were selling supposedly in stock cards for ~an hour after they'd run out. I would have imagined that even the most rudimentary jankety-rear end web store in 2020 would actually have some kind of lock system to check availability, claim a product, and only then pass the order through, but I guess I was too optimistic!

But guys, they are very sorry. Very very sorry that they've got your ~750 euros sitting in their bank account for an indefinite period.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


The reviews on beat buy are great, I like the ones about not buying nvidia ever again because AMD is their god now. Until AMD can’t meet demand either but fan boys are fickle.

Yeah, the actual cards are way better than the reviews said, and so plentiful that the price actually went down! Best launch ever.

They'd have to get the techtuber review samples back in new packaging to meet these kinds of numbers. I'm doubtful.

Yep. If Proshop alone had 700 back orders of the TUF OC alone, and they had a stock of 20 cards... then a 10x to 20x increase won't even cover all the existing backlog.

It'd be funny if this was actually a scalper trap and launch day was deliberately constrained and Jensen is just sitting on a freighter with like ten million units steepling his fingers.

Why is everybody so hung up on the FE anyway? From what the reviews I've read over the past two days said it's actually the worst of all of them? Lowest performance, highest temperatures and fan noise despite the 'revolutionary' design.

Is it because they are slightly cheaper?

i watched the gamersnexus video on why the 3080 supply sold through so fast and apparently the demand for GPU and computer parts this year (since covid19 hit) has been consistently as high as a typical black friday/christmas season. so. that's loving bonkers.

Oh god, not again.

In the UK, I have just called eBuyer and OCuk, none of them have any idea what will be going on regarding fulfilling preorders and coming stock replenishment.

I managed to get an order in 3 minutes after stock went on sale and they still can't tell me if I will get one before November.

What a poo poo show!

a) At this point people are frantically trying to buy whatever they can
b) people like the aesthetic
c) better performance from the aibs comes at the cost of size; at 285mm long and 2 slot the FE will fit where other cards may not

Definitely more nerds are figuring out the NVIDIA store today than yesterday ... there are active discussions on Github with people figuring out the store, stopping short of publicly releasing an auto-buyer: https://gist.github.com/jef/96fd50c6fe3eedc1bdf52585eac2b3c4

The API key is getting rate-limited far, far, far more frequently than mid-day yesterday. RIP 3090, 3070 FE launch.

My understanding is that they're made with the best binned chips and tend to have the best overclocking potential and long-term durability. I've preordered a Gigabyte because my 980 Ti is a gigabyte.
