Lol that's ridiculous I saw it appear for a couple of seconds, refreshed then *poof* gone

mid_gen · 20 Jan 2021 at 14:15

Yep. Last time I at least got one in my cart.

I clicked within a second of the alert, did captcha first time, gone already.

At least we've had drops two consecutive weeks...

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!

i was only on pc 5 mins, 3090 FE alert pops up so i started refreshing for the chance, and it appeared.

Then was no add to basket and thought crazy as I did captcha in 6 seconds, kept refreshing and button appeared.

crazy feeling never felt so good for spending £650.

Nvidia is thinking - How can we get more bots :rolleyes:

Same, got the buy button but couldn't add to basket. ridiculous now. well I was right there was a 3080 drop this week, but either all were botted, or they had a miniscule amount this time.

Shall we drop 3070 FEs lads? nahhh ppl will buy 3080s/ 3090s instead its fine

Yaayuh! · 20 Jan 2021 at 14:20

I think I got an FE 3080 by sheer luck.

Paid, initial order email received.

I got excited seeing the add to basket button but was still too slow :'(

Had a notification about 10 minutes ago, none in stock...tried to add a couple of times and it went through...in my haste made some mistakes, had to restart but it seems my order went through. Expected delivery tomorrow...not sure if it does this only to cancel later but we'll see.

Bad timing for me as I had to sell some parts of my pc, but huh....got one fairly quickly (3080 FE - IF it went through properly)...

Same, fully expecting to get an email later saying "Sorry, it's out of stock and your order has been cancelled".

A2B · 20 Jan 2021 at 14:23

well, at some point stock will ramp enough to not need a time machine to get one

.

ltron · 20 Jan 2021 at 14:24

I got the notification too for 3080 FE but not button to add to cart, just went out of stock

g67575 · 20 Jan 2021 at 14:24

another constipated drop.

Maybe a bit more tomorrow :eek:

I really hope it doesn't

exhashdotdot · 20 Jan 2021 at 14:26

Man I almost ordered one but got "order declined" at the last moment.

Wonder if I need to change which card I pay with

Zegway · 20 Jan 2021 at 14:26

Can I ask how you guys received an alert so quickly?

I have Distill setup to check every 5 seconds against the Nvidia site, but nothing came through.

Yeah it was a bit weird, had the button to add and then said there weren't any left in stock - refreshed a few times and it worked.

Probably PartAlert? Seems to work for me anyway

Discord. I saw it about 5 minutes after I got it. I think the seller has some system to release a couple every few minutes or something.
