NVIDIA RTX 3080 Release Availability Could be a Novel

The pot calling the kettle black. Posts that religiously defend a company, no matter which one it is, are eyesores in the forums.

Either Nvidia and the retailers failed with their bot protection measures or they had very few numbers for sale at launch. Either way, as somebody who woke up at 5 am to order one of these, I'd call this a botched launch.
 
lol I really don't understand people defending multi-billion companies. Just like the Navi launch driver issues were AMD s fault, this ridiculousness is nvidia s fault. They can and do have total control over their products, they should have done a better job especially when we are talking about a friggin 700 dollar graphics card. At the end of the day this is excellent marketing, just like the og marketing Master called Apple. But yeah continue your arguments, arguing for nothing is what people do best.
 
Well, no matter what they do the next time, eBay auctions for 3080 are looking very interesting. It's worth taking a look just for laughs.

The funniest thing is when you see real people trying to outbid eBay bots :)

To a specific store?

Batches will be coming in continuously, some stores may get shipments multiple times a week. The batches from various AiBs are independent of each other.

To a large system builder down the street; so it's most likely PNY.
 
What´s the rush?
Nvidia is wayting for Amd.

Especially when Jensen was telling Pascal users that it's a great time to upgrade. Pascal was by far the most popular graphics platform out there. The blind man and the friggin neighborhood stray cat saw that there was going to be a huge sales rush coming. Low stock in this instance is by far the most piss-poor excuse I've ever heard for a failed first-day sales launch.

If nothing else, you could opt to get Gigabyte's RTX 3090 when it comes out. Pretty sure no one will want a blower for that card.

I thought No one will want 8 pin to molex extender cable integrated under the shroud. All gigabyte 3080'90 cards have this thing now, selling like hotcakes. blower goes into water cooled builds.

I’ve been messaging all the scalpers selling on Facebook Marketplace from my fake account saying “OMG you have one I have to get it!”. Once I find out where they live I tell them I can meet them about an hour away from their location but will meet them immediately and pay cash. Soon as they message me from the meet up location parking lot I reply with a picture of Ngreedia Jenson saying “thanks for your support.”

Amazing. An even more douchey move. Impressive.
 
As far as I'm concerned it's criminal just for the audacity of it.
 
It should be criminal to be stupid enough to buy it thinking it's something else.

gazing over on reddit, some guy got his panties in a wad over not getting his 3080/90 on release day ( they were sold in 30 seconds or less ), claimed to have written a bot that would create a new account and bid astronomical prices on EBAY, I'm thinking the $70K price tag was from that guy.

Gamers Nexus is a reputable YouTube channel and website with direct ties to SIs and OEMs and they have never been implicated in spreading lies. If anything Stephen Burke is always trying to get to the bottom of it and be as unbiased as possible. You, on the other hand, are free to believe in wild conspiracies and crap spread by no-nomers in the WCCFTech comments section and YouTubers like AdoredTV and Moore's Law Is Dead - both of which love to make up whatever facts to cause a ruckus and attract more views.

Evet the most honest youtuber(who is doing youtubing for money) won't risk and stand and say the truth if it is Nvidia. Because of Nvidia itself and its fanatic radical fanboys.

You remember what to happened to Kyle Bennett when he exposed the GPP program? Not many sites had that in their news.
Gamernexus, Hardware Canucks and all other sites that didn't even mention it.

They aren't even close to intolerant Nvidia fans who can't stand evet the least criticizing of Nivida and accuse anybody who does that of being AMD fan



Edit: this must be the official name of the new card:

The Geforce RTX 3080 If-Found-er Edition

Let me know if you want a card, I'll only charge a 25% premium plus shipping. There are seemingly a good number of cards still in stock here, although they seem to start at around US$850.
 
Over here most of the partner cards are only available for pre-order. Only ventus is within the FE's MSRP. The rest of them are in the range of $100-150 over the MSRP.

For now, best way is to simply wait it out. Prices will settle at the level they were suppose to be, i.e. not inflated by high demand. Suits me, considering we still have RDNA2 launch ahead of us, which will probably cause some shift in prices from Nvidia and their partners. 3070 will also help, since some folks will reconsider their purchase once they realize they'd have to invest almost as much into a display to match the card's performance.
 
Okay this is a novel after all. I see it now. :roll:

Also, lol

yeah it’s cool to just let scalpers pull a douche move without repercussions, the point is make it more frustrating than it’s worth so they hesitate to do it again... instead of just trolling others
 
First they were miners !!
Now it is scalpers !!
You have to give credit to these scalpers for their consistency though. Working like an organized worldwide network all over year, except in Halloween and black fridays because despite prices are lowest (they only time when you can find an Nvidia card at the announced price) Stocks are available and scalpers suddenly disappear!!
cool story Nvidia!
