NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti to be "available" on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti on June 10th

[Dave2150]

Mine doesn’t show in order history yet. If I go to my account it says

“You have 1 successful pending order. This will not be shown in order history until fraud checks are complete and it has been processed by our systems during business hours, you will receive updates by email once this occurs, stock will be allocated on a first come first serve basis any processing time does not affect this, thank you for your patience.”

I queried this with live chat support. They have thousands of orders to go through, so will be several hours until they finish processing. Likely the reason only Saturday delivery was available too.

Not true, sorry for any confusion. Since we know that we can't trust our website to manage the traffic currently we decided to follow the same process that we've followed for the last few graphics card launches. List the cards, don't sell.

We aren't selling the cards currently, at all, we are working on a way to best serve our loyal customer base and we'll hopefully be in a position to do something next week.

The sales guys were all under instruction to say "no we can't sell you a Ti today" but it's our fault that we didn't explain it clearly enough to them why.

Also, before anyone says 'but you've got systems available with Ti in'...correct. I was given a grand total of about 30 units across four models by my closest SI partners. This is a LOT less than the retail allocation received so far.

For anybody who thinks we're wrong for doing this, the information from our ecommerce director is that in the last hour 96% of the traffic on our site was from "bots". Had we actually put the cards on sale, there's almost no chance that genuine customers would have been able to buy.

I appreciate the explanation, thank you. And apologies for name dropping a competitor, completely slipped my mind during the panicked refreshing! Now edited out.

I tried to contact live chat but they closed it, even though it's supposed to be open until 10pm!

Ah ok, that makes sense thanks for clearing it up. Just hope they don’t cancel it

 

[PurePickage]

That's what I have too - seems fairly typical looking back on previous forum posts around launch day releases.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll keep my eyes peeled. Really hope they don’t cancel the order

Probably exhausted with the amount of queries they’ve been getting from people asking about 3080ti’s

 

[Kirby Wurm]

I haven't seen anyone say any other models were available anywhere. All the talk on Discord has been of the FE.

I thought that was the case.

Check if the money has been taken out your accounts ? i got a 3080 FE in todays drop and money has already been taken but just says You have 1 successful pending order on website . I'm pretty confident it will all go through fine

Something dodgy going on there with scan.

Many here in the same boat it seems. Had it on Laptop, pc and phone and no buy button on any of them. Must have refreshed the page a good 1-200 times or more.

That's the issue though, one person on multiple devices / browsers. Multiply that by thousands for total connections. They'll be severely limiting the number of connections that can reach the "buy button".

Mines the same, money is pending but says the same in my account

That was simply to check if there was something wrong with my pc. Primarily using the pc since 14:05. Nothing.

Just a little strange you had to be lucky on your page refresh to qualify for a card.

 

[RipGroove]

Can use this for AIB cards : https://www.stockinformer.co.uk/checker-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-3070-3090

The Alarm sound certainly gets your attention The prices on these AIB cards will also get your attention , enough to make a grown man cry

Thanks!

There have been a few posts on here saying "I've got the site open on my pc & phone" etc. It all adds up to a lot of connections.

The site went down during the 3080 launch so it's probably due to that.

It was up and running the whole time. Even seconds after it was on the nvidia website. No option to buy on the website for me but others had the option.

Took me about 5 minutes of refreshing thinking am I doing something wrong. Just the specs and price of the card showing.

Quite a few in the same situation. On FB (certain retailers page) there’s a fair few comments of others having the same problem.

Just seems very odd to me. Would have been much better on the nvidia website, might have stood a chance then even with all the bots haha.

 

[RipGroove]

I had several browsers open for all the big retailers and didn't once see an option to add anything to a cart. Very frustrating indeed.

I guess I'll be ready for the 4080ti drop now that I'm late to the party with Telegram. I'll be playing 5 year old games at low settings until then.

Props to everyone playing Quakeworld in VGA resolution until all this blows over

 

[handyandy24]

Without the ti launch im guessing we were expecting a FE drop next week. Wonder if well still get one

Hopefully, I'll happily buy a 3090 or a 3080ti at RRP right now.

 

[Harlequin]

My 3090 FE was £1399

Plus FE are best binned chips, so win win

Hows the ram temps? Under 100 degrees yet?

 

[Defiant306]

I had multiple sites open over 2 PCs and the FE page for redirect and not once did I get a buy button appear on multiple cards... I was there before the 2pm start time until 2:30pm and nothing.
