Fun fact, its Nvidia that is selling you the card. What they link to is only a "fullfillment centre" for them.

That is why they are exactly MRSP, because the "fullfillment centre" has no say in it at all.

I'm not sure this is true as my payment and invoice were to the retailer not the manufacturer...

Also Fedex are still chasing me for £200 if customs fees! Argh

It's the "Brexit Bonus"

EU is not one country (despite what Eurocrats want), if France gets a drop and you live in Spain, you cant buy those cards.

looking at past drops going well back both France and Spain get drops at the same time

Even if there is a uk drop it will be about 5 cards and the chance of getting one will be little to none. It's all fake marketing

3060ti lasted about 30 minutes last time. 3080ti more than an hour.

I missed that one due to the kids making me go in a swimming pool, damn them.

I managed to nab a 3090 FE no issues, very real to me @200FPS on COD 1440p Ultra
