30xx Series Founders Edition

Lads, I used PartAlert (via twitter phone app) to get a RTX 3070 FE notification, although can't say if it was quick enough for others to get a RTX 3080

This game is so tedious! Waiting around for weeks, signing up to every notification. Being left disappointed when 4 cards are released for sale. Moan moan moan.

So I didn't get any app notification from Discord. But lo and behold if I go into the app, the notifications are there. Great, brilliant.

Pro-tip:

Do captcha at lunch time, for me it removes few seconds head room.
Also pre-deposit the money in to Paypal from your bank account, so you will not get bank payment error.

Even if the buy button gets removed keep refreshing for about a minute or so, sometimes other buy flow fails, and then the stock becomes available again.

I've grabbed a 3070FE a month ago, and 2 3080FEs this way (1 returned due to coil whine). There are no bots involved in FE purchase so it is all about how prepared you are.
 
My 3070 FE should be coming tomorrow, it's been quite a long wait...

I still think the availability of AIB GDDR6 graphics cards will improve by the end of the month.

Buying these things shouldn't be so stressful.

Well, it wouldn't be if retailers just let people pre-order, but they are making too much profit right now to consider it. Or maybe, they just don't like managing it all and dealing with annoyed customers

Got my order declined again. I'm 100% convinced I've been barred from buying these because of my 3070 FE purchase.

Guess next time I'll order through my girlfriend's card to nextdoor then :p

From what I gather you are declined from buying a card you've already purchased..

Annoying for me as I knew they would drop today and still missed the 3080

I know, even the 20 series FE models had pre-orders.

OMG I refreshed the 3080 page again and the Add to Cart appeared and I managed to get one, barring last minute snags. I can't believe it, I almost collapsed from the adrenaline :o.
