So what are you guys using for the alerts? I'm losing all hope of getting one, but keep seeing people buying various cards or models really...

Like the other guys, Telegram and the FE PartAlert channel, if you can set a unique alert sound for the channel (Android notifications for me). I wasn't super quick either tonight, the page on the competitors site didn't have a buy/add to cart button just the splash page for the card - just kept refreshing and by some miracle a minute later the page had the button. Free delivery dissapeared on the checkout page, buy hey.

Feel for folk like you that are simply trying to get one card and you've got idiots buying every card that comes in stock just because they can!

Well I just refuse to pay +300£ over RRP...I swear I'll make my 770 last another 10 years if needed, but no scalper is making a pound of profit from me.

But to be honest, it ****** me off that people keep buying these cards by dozens when they are not supposed to... They just keep selling them for a profit, unfortunately, so I guess I'll have to wait until either stock is back to normal levels, or people stop paying stupid prices for second hand cards. I might have to wait for a while...

How do you do that? Gives the option of PayPal or alternative which then takes you to the log in page.

I had a 3080 twice (what I really wanted) all to final completion with change of address/names/payment card and all still declined. Regretting ever getting a 3070 now as I only used a few days and got a 6800.. ideally always wanted the 3080 for myself.

Scalpers will have found a way to get some more and sell on.

I never thought I'd be so excited about buying a graphics card!!! But I've just bought a 3080FE for £640!

I've got the order confirmation too and even paid £14 fir before 10am next day delivery!

Bkimey, the highs and lows and ups and downs of trying to simply buy a graphics card is insane, but I'm happy now and can finally play MS flight simulator 2000 in glorious high res, and I'm wondering if the 3080 is enough power to do 4K?

Congrats mate. Great card and best PFP GFX card you can get.

42 fps @4k

So its quite playable, its not a FPS.
 
Think I managed to bag a 3080. Got a confirmation email and my credit card is pending the amount. Weird thing is that the order isn’t showing in my recent orders in the account. Fingers crossed it’ll all go though.

Think via paypal is guest, or close enough.
 
Pretty stoked to be honest as I've been very very close to paying 800+ for an MSI gaming X for the past week or so, somewhere local had a few last week and I was sorely tempted but just couldn't justify the cost.

Paid £469 for my MSI 1070 quicksilver back in 2016 so £480 for a 3070FE is absolutely fine. I wonder what I can sell my 1070 for. Will maybe put it on MM if it doesn't go in my wifes machine. I guess i can get at least £250 for it?
