I'd wager we're supposed to be getting some but they are probably stuck in a port.
Im not gonna get one at this rate 
.You have to check at exactly the right time by the sound of it to get one. Im probably not gonna keep refreshing the nv website 24/7 until I get one, especially since we dont know when they arrive (if at all over xmas period), just guesses.
I hope the Zotac graphics cards become available, those should be sold at a similar price to the Founders Editions.
the anti scalping situation is very dumb. just filling up auction sites with fakes/ more scams, presumably counting themselves as 'good guys'.
if people actually wanted to help, they would only sell genuine products at the rrp prices... but instead, many have participated in the farce, perhaps out of frustration

There was an FE drop for all models just drop on a German reseller.
Could be good news for a UK drop soon.
Don't want to put a dampener on things but this is the 3rd German FE drop since the last UK drop.
I would have to agree with this , stuck in a port somewhere!
Leaving the EU, things can only get better

Meanwhile, our government is making excellent progress in ensuring they are offered nothing by the EU.

Was picking up some stuff at the asian supermarket the other day and the owner was saying it's a nightmare getting deliveries at the moment. If they can't even get perishable goods into the country at the moment, I don't hold out much hope for GPUs!
I'm one of the masses here watching the stock notifications....waiting to click buy....
Well I'm one of the growing number who bagged a 3090FE through impatience and lack of stock, but have to say it was more than I wanted to spend but I don't regret it for a minute.
Its a fantastic card, crap value but hay ho! Just mulling over an offer to upgrade my pre-order of a 5900x (delivery Jan) to a 5950x in stock. I'll have more Vram and cores than I know what to do with.
Not that I'm moaning or anything
Anyway hopefully you'll all get what you're waiting for before Xmas.
I'm cash-restricted so the 3080FE is the most I can stretch to, but I went for a 3950x as I do lots of video and audio work. From the benchmarks it's way overkill for gaming, but if you have a use for all the cores the 5950x should rock (around 20% faster than mine). That includes the single/low core perf too so better in games that way (even if they don't use all the cores). But that's true of the 5000 series in general.
No but I'll consider it if it doesn't void warranty. There are good 3000 FE teardowns on GamersNexus' YT channel. I will use liquid metal for the first time on my desktop and laptop soon-ish. Everyone says it's not ideal for GPUs as it's easier to mess up (or harder to cleanup if you need to), but I'd be tempted.

They are deliberately scamming. They know the only people that buy them are naïve ebayers.
Some go to great lengths to trick people.

Hope so but I'm not holding my breath. There's been a couple of drops on German sites since the last UK drop I think, including a couple of days ago. Will be very happy if Nvidia make me eat my words of course!
bot protection is on. hopefully for FE's and not something else ...
's like being in a sub, waiting for the destroyer to pass over ...
hmm, bot protection is off again. dry run?
Ah, I should have said I'm playing a proper racing Sim... iRacing
All the instructions on how to set up alerts is further back in this post (about 50 pages back or so)... I set it up this Tuesday night and got the alert on Wednesday... In the cart and now in the PC today!
