30xx Series Founders Edition

[crazy8s]

Tbh I somewhat regret buying a SF750 PSU in preparation for this launch.

£649 on a 3080FE to play a game that will work just as well on a XSX...

Though saying that I know I'll want to upgrade my PC eventually

Makes no sense,how could they not see this coming? competitor is coming strong with compelling products and can easily steal their custom yet they can’t even make some more cards? that just so amateur and unbelievably stupid if true,means they basically gave up.

F5's at the ready!

The 3 RTX 3000 FE series cards might all go live at the same time on Thursday.

Can only assume you mean 3 as in 3 physical cards, because about 0 chance nVidia has decent stock of 1 card, let alone 3!

Who knows maybe they were stocking them up to counter AMD’s event a day after?
that’s my last hope

I meant the 3 different models, one can dream.

I was wondering, if Nvidia is having such acute shortage of cards, wouldnt that mean taht AMD will have similar shortages?

Am I missing something here?

I think you probably are, to be fair.

Nvidia and AMD are 2 completely separate companies.

Nvidia is sourcing from Samsung
AMD is sourcing from TSMC

I am aware of this.

I meant that if the shortages are related to chips/boards supply, i.e general manufacturing capacities in the current pandemic conditions, then surely AMD would face similar issues. Its not as if Nvidia is limiting the number of cards by choice.

Thanks for the clarification crazy8s, it will be interesting to see what kind of availability AMD's new cards have.

Well just changed back to out of stock for me. Unless people snapped them up really fast again

The buy now button was there for a few secs but did nothing. Don't think it was a drop, unless it was 1 card!

Bots probably snapped em up instantly!

No mention of it at all on /r/nvidia. Would've expected someone to mention it if it had genuinely been in stock. Interesting it's switched back to OOS though.

Most ridiculous launch of all time

They cant decide which looks worse, "Out of Stock" or "Coming Soon"

I'm guessing either people whinged about the wording, they're testing some changes to to the website or trying to catch bots out which would be unlikely I think, but most bots probably pretty simple and checking for text to appear or disappear - something I've done myself to see if I could snag something but gave up.

 

[midweek]

"Coming Soon to Out of Stock!"?

 

[RIZZEE]

Could have just been an api change
