+1 for discord, worked for me last week. Also, not sure what Telegram does, but discord links directly to the competitor page for the 3080, no need to go to the Nvidia product page, so one less click. Which when they are selling out in seconds can make all the difference.

Telegram does the same, links direct but the delay is about 30 seconds sometimes upto a minute! Discord is all you need tbh.
 
Also important to follow the link on discord as opposed to refresh nvidia website. When I got the notification on Thursday's drop I immediatly refreshed Nvidia 3080/3090 page (which supposed to redirect to a unique page of uk retailer who sells FEs) but after refreshing the page nvidia website was still saying that the cards are out of stock.

Apperently its luck based, some people get updated pages with links when they refresh and some get out of stock page, so it is important to use the link that they provide in discord, which leads directtly to the UK retailer.

Who knows when the stock arrives, it can be weekly but I think a good three weeks went by until that last batch showed up. The build quality of the FE is good so its whether you mind paying that extra difference but have one in a few days. Hope it materialises if you want one badly, post back on the status.

Got the dispatch email, arriving tomorrow. The bad news though: "This part of your order will be delivered by Yodel."

Yeah but you were after a 3070 which lasted much much longer.

About 15 minutes that day so not a lot.

Discord takes a few minutes to show up though I was sitting in the discord channel when someone said they'd gone live (was actually looking for a 6800XT, fat chance) and actually watched them first appear on Nvidia's site then on the ahem other site a few minutes later then the bot a few minutes after that it wasn't instantaneous and by the time people receive a notification it could well be all over if they sell out in minutes or less.

Bit wasteful isn't it? Considering 10 year warranties aren't abnormal for a bunch of PSUs. drive em till they die i say ;)

Trouble is they don't go quietly they usually take something with 'em in my experience. ;)

Not getting any discord alerts today, would have expected at least 1 or 2.

FE alerts seem to drop around 2pm certainly was that time last week, i had no money then so couldnt get anything, but the 3080 fe was impossible to grab, but i could have had a 3070 or 3090 quite easy, think if there are no 3080's this week im gonna get a 3090
