Obviously they were too cheap. They'll learn their lesson for next time, I'm sure.

Also how many were sold? 50, 500, 500k, 5mil?

100 Gigarays

Has anyone bought the 2080?

I'm deliberating sticking a pre-order in if it beats the 1080ti. I'm coming from a GTX 670 so I feel like the 2080 is basically my only option if I want 4k.

Clearly people voted with their wallet.

We need new metrics.

RTX units sold. It's different from units sold, because it just works.

RTX2080Ti shortages, panic buy all stock... clear the shelves....

A relative number of RTX2080Ti were sold.

We can't possibly know. Nvidia now have a new metric for pre-sales, named 'prezellatrons'.

Another pointless 2080 thread...

Surely don't you mean Gigasales?

You need to turn on RTX Effects to analyse the sales data, without an RTX2080Ti you're never going to find out how many were sold.

NVidia have sold out of RTX 2808 Ti FE

Think that's called Gigabollocks mate

Plenty RTX including aib available for sale, first time that's happened that I can remember, historically new gen Nv high end usually sell out in about 30 mins.

That is what I chose, but am skeptical of the value of it vs 2080ti in terms of performance per pound..

Now that's just silly. Everyone knows you need to compensate for Gigasales with the gravimetric charge imbalance generated by Prezellatrons, and you can only do that by re-routing power through the biaxial nitrogen infusers on the coaxial chip array of the 2080Ti!

You need to consider it's future potential too, to be honest. There's not a big difference in price between the 1080 Ti and the 2080 and I'd be surprised if it's faster by much in current games.
Personally, Id rather get the 2080 anyway (new price vs new price). It'll probably even hold its value better.

Still showing for pre-order on some EU sites but showing as sold out on US site. And I did state specifically in the first post that it is the FE cards which have reportedly sold out (not AIB).

I expect there is going to be some disappointed people who have to wait an extra 2-3 weeks for their cards despite pre-ordering fairly early on.

andybird123 · 23 Aug 2018 at 20:22

On the UK site they were listed as shipping on the 20th Sept, then they sold out, then a few hours later as shipping on the 23rd, sold out, 25th, and so on. So they aren't actually "sold out" as such, they are just releasing them in batches until they work out what they want to say for the next shipment est.

I can't see anywhere where retailers are listing any shipment dates for AIB cards, unless I'm missing something, so guessing its going to be the usual bun fight over stock actually coming in.

How many did they have ready for pre-order in the US?

would people create threads saying their pre-order didn't arrive yet?
