What a joke

Hey Ho. So I managed to get an order in within the first 30 minutes of the launch at 14:38 for a MSI Gaming X 3080. Where would you guys Guestimate my que to be at? And is it confirmed that we are getting a official que number in our emails for our purchases?

\/ Please see the unofficial queue thread below for guesstimates.

Seems like the nvidia store is starting to die now, can't check my order status but I did get both emails from nvidia so fingers crossed theres no more issues.

Yeh but which one are you going to buy ie will it be in stock before the bun fight starts

will be having a go for msi gaming 3090 it I get a pre order within the first hour has to be better than 2216 in the queue.

Same here, first “processing” one received at 06:04. I hit the stuck checking out issue, eventually managed to check out, had my card declined, unblocked the card, checked out again. Hopefully it is just waiting on human checks. They have removed PayPal checkout for the 3080. Perhaps as an anti-bot measure? It is not surprising that this is causing CC fraud checks being such a ridiculous time for the UK.

EDIT: Now showing as received/invoiced on the website so I guess it is going through.

Exactly what happened to me. Card was blocked by CC provider on first attempt and had to verify with a text. I eventually checked out between 05:35 - 05:40. Received first email at 05:46 but still nothing. I had to use Guest checkout because my password wouldn't work so can't check order status.

Ahhh FFS, I was awake then i even checked at 4am , grrrrrrrrr

Just received the confirmation email an hour after the first. I think you will be OK. I suspect extra checks are done on decline/retry orders.

I got my first email at 06:09 and the 2nd at 6:24. Someone else had only a 6 min wait so it seems like it's taking longer and longer.

If you click Customer Service on the processing email you can use email and last 4 digits of your card to check your status!

Well that’s a depressing start to the day... missed out again!

They release stock at 5am in the morning on the UK store
1. WTF?
2. How the hell were people on a UK forum up and ready to buy these with no notice?
3. WTF!

I'm nightshift mate, and randomly checked the page and boom!

 

[Lemonlad]

So confused as to why NVIDIA would push more FE at 5am in UK - happy to see genuine folk got orders in this time but surely more chance of bots snaffling them while folk are sleeping

I was just thinking the same, fwits

 

[DMessenger]

Has anyone who managed to order an FE been able to see their order status on the website? I'm having issues checking it, probably just being battered by users.

But the majority aren't. They had a muck up of launch at first then decided to release at 5 am in the bloody morning.

 

[Sparx]

The FE stock went on just after 5:30am. Lasted until about 6:09.

I had one in my basket at that time as only woke 2 mins before, hit pay then got out of stock error....

But what a friggin’ time to restock UK store!! Stupid.

Gone again prob for another week now

I woke early, checked my phone and saw an email from NVidia (sent ~2AM). It was actually announcing the release of the 3090. But I thought I would just give the site a quick check. I suspected there would be a 3080 restock today but thought 2PM more likely.
