Three things.D) It's 2020, we live in a world of multi-tiered web services, CDNs and auto-scaling. How is it that so many sites crumbled under the load? :D
Most of these sites are still running on their application stacks from 2005. So yeah you can stick it on an auto-scaling cluster but it's still gonna **** out because it's simply not designed for distributed horizontal scaling.

Had the same experience. Very very dodgy IMO. No way it could go suddenly from 'Notify Me' to Out of Stock in a second.

And yes, it was still showing Notify Me at 2.03.

Yep something definitely funky with nvidia site.....

They were late on the release by couple mins, then people here saying they refreshing every 2 seconds to instantly out of stock?

??????????????????????????

Complete wash. NVIDIA went OOS in 1 second, but at least the website didn't crash. OcUK died as did a competitor and my local competitor doesn't have stock yet at all, and even then they're all priced at £800.

I'd be disappointed if I didn't decide to wait to see AIB reviews.
