"Got an unexpected reply from the server, API may be down, nothing we can do but try again"

Nothing tonight, no stock again

Website has been extremely slow since 6pm, was hoping this was a sign

BluD · 8 Oct 2020 at 19:11

Its a sign all the scalpers have turned on their bots

crazy8s · 8 Oct 2020 at 19:12

Thought there was a sign stock may replenish earlier today when the 3090 disappeared from the site but nope.

API is down. Has been down for days. Without it they aren't even selling a T-shirt from their shop.

The API coming back up is a reasonable guide for when cards might get dropped, but they certainly won't appear while it's down. The API could come back up minutes or hours before the stock is loaded.

it's your browser's cache or something,try with a different browser and it's as fast as it can be.

Also disable adblockers, noticed it loads slower with them on for some reason.

Might as well put some lucky heather on top of your monitor too.

What an ill thought-out launch.

Nvidia somehow managed to alienate its core customers (early adopters/day 1..etc) to the point of having people ready to buy their product openly say that if AMD's new offering is available they would buy that due to these shortages. Crazy!

XeNoNF50 · 8 Oct 2020 at 19:56

Well - this means that the sales windows of these are getting more infrequent, not better. Crazy.

BluD · 8 Oct 2020 at 19:57

Maybe theyre just giving in for this launch and letting the AIBs handle the rest of the orders

DarrenM343 · 8 Oct 2020 at 20:21

I'd not expect a regular pattern tbh. Maybe more than usual will arrive next week to sell in 30 seconds, or less than last week.

Tutan · 8 Oct 2020 at 20:31

This "launch" has been a joke.that's all I can say.the worst in technology history.

mjeccs · 8 Oct 2020 at 20:31

This launch has been a complete and utter joke. I have decided to bail. Will just pick up which ever one is the best price to performance at end of this or early next year.

Tutan · 8 Oct 2020 at 20:38

I can't believe they can't even manufacture even 500 cards in a week? not even 200? that's only 30 cards a day.is nvidia a basement workshop run by 4 friends? it's not like world has come to an end. every other product line is functioning,even with lowest imaginable yield,they should have been able to make enough to sell once a week at least.
I really want the Big Navi to be decent so I can stay away from this brand. :mad:

They're making them by hand like the Russian 3DFX modern board makers.

I would expect better supply towards the end of Oct/early Nov despite Nvidia's announcement given AMD just showed they are roughly on par with the 3080. Would just gift sales to AMD if not.

I hope so. I just need a working workstation before late November when I'm back to work. So if NVIDIA can't deliver, I'll grab AMD Navi if it's there and competes with even just the 3080. It'll likely have 16GB VRAM anyway.

Tutan · 8 Oct 2020 at 21:20

well I'm sure many of you have seen this but AMD's chief gaming architect Frank Azur on twitter assured to a user's complain that Big Navi won't face the disastrous shortage problem of 3080-3090
