30xx Series Founders Edition

the nvidia page i think has same cache issue as a certain other retailer, for me that page never said available, I got to the page because the bot posted the direct link.

Nice, SAM for nvidia too soon.

Yup. Not sure I’ll enable that though as reports are it hurts performance in MSFS2020. Either way, I’ll be a happy man if I can pair the new cpu with a 3080 this weekend.

Because who pays £1400 for a GPU? What have I done lol

Paid a good chunk of VAT? oh well, just enjoy it - so many don't have a RTX 3080 and will be fretting for months...

Yeah, maybe for when DX12 drops it'll pair better with that game

payment cleared but still not on any order status page, I think i am good at this point though if they took the payment.

Well, Scan assured me that my account isn't flagged and my credit card is fine.

So even if you reach the order step, you can still get a "Declined Order" it seems.

Oh well

I actually had 3090 before and after spending a month with it I sold it off for breakeven because I could not justify the cost for what I was using it (gaming).

Very normal, the order status page can take a while to update, give it another hour or 2

To be fair it was Saturday evening, but like others say, competitors are smashing it. Oh well. I'm just hoping it will actually show and they won't suddenly tell me that all of the in stock stuff I ordered is out of stock.

I ordered the same item but in a different colour (water cooling fitting) with the competitor at 13:04 today, just got the dispatched email.

A bit silly, really.

I just can't be arsed cancelling and re ordering the 500 quid of watercooling bits I've ordered, so they've got me this time, but I think I'll go elsewhere next time.

Starting to wonder if nvidia are having really low yields on the 3080, or they're the most sought after so they sell out instantly. Any drop of stock seems to last a minute or 2 tops, which either means people trampling over each other to get one, or barely double digit stock...or both.

The 3080 makes the scalpers the best return.. its as simple as that.

Limited production (probably to protect AIBs from having to compete with the FE), still sold at RRP, huge demand from users/scalpers/miners. They're very hard to get.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Nope me too.

Looks like I wasn't quick enough this time

Full order and payment status now.

@chrcoluk Has yours updated now?

 

[Raz]

I've had the 2nd email come through now...

The 3060 ti FE and 3070 FE both sold out in around the same time; the whole thing is a fiesta.

I'd love to know what goes on in the Chinese factory where these are made; easy to forget that the entire world wants these things. I literally have no idea what sort of scale these cards are produced on but even something like 1000 a day sounds very small when you factor the entire world.

but you can’t buy AIB cards either. Some people are still waiting for pre-orders from September/ October.

Yeah its 3070\90 that are easier to get, the 3080 is a unicorn dump for the most part.

If the FE was readily available at £650 it would be a lot tougher to sell AIB cards at their inflated prices. So NVidia will be unlikely to ever produce large numbers of FEs.

Already some twit with on auction site (probably a forum member) with one up for sale with invoice info for nearly £1400.

This is the problem.
