30xx Series Founders Edition

[DeliciousStorage]

I should have bought that mouse last week to load my card into the site. Lol will wait and see.

Bit silly that they don't let you add a saved card without buying something. You could just pre-order a cheap item and cancel it straight away.

3080ti and 3090 still available though.. 48min in and no sign of it being out of stock still

Not surprising really, barely any difference to the 3080 and significantly more expensive.

My first one was 12.03
and the following 12.07 and 12.09 respectively.. even though the emails were received around 12.20

I was monitoring the stock.. from my last posts, it took 5-8min from the time the telegram posts published before both the 3080 and 3070 went out of stock

faster than me! hopefully youve got one it i didnt.

Did these all just hit one retailer?

Just looked at the email in gmail, viewing the details...it was sent at:

From: "**********" <website@**********>
To: xxxxx

So took a minute and half to arrive to me.

Did these all just hit one retailer?

yes. all FE are sold by nvidia via a single UK company.

I was browsing the retailer when the alert came through so i was lucky.

nvidia has only partnered up with 1 retailer in the UK for them

be a nice upgrade from your 1080FE.

same for me with my Ti version.

Ahhh, I wasn't aware of that.

I'm assuming there was a specific 3080 link as well. I'd be F5'ing that all night!

I had a 3080 in my basket but stupidly logged into the wrong account. I already got a 3060ti back in February. Fancied an upgrade but got declined. I actually made a different account to try and get one as well haha. Maybe next time

You don't actually have to login, purchase as a guest.

Sorry to hear that bud.

Does make me wonder where the rejected 3080's go.

I suspect they have a few thousand sat in their back warehouse and nvidia tells them how many to put up each month just to keep interest/demand high.

Also saw on reddit a few people saying they had received RMA replacements today after botching thermal pad mod, so they must have more than they are actually selling

no doubt about it.

corruption everywhere.

What is in stock?

Which model?

 

[Skynet5]

3080ti? No one wants it

 

[chrismscotland]

Miners aren't snapping them up as they're LHR; personally I don't think the price is too bad given the performance on the card and the price of other non-FE cards; especially if you've literally no need for the 24GB memory on the 3090.

 

[rumple9]

I wonder what the resale/second hand price of 3080tis will go down to next year when 4000 series comes out?

 

[Sem]

Well fair play to Nvidia got a lot of stick for this LHR stuff and now real gamers have a chance to get a near flagship GPU at mrsp

I got a notification about the Nvidia drop from FE Part Alert on Telegram at 14:50, only 2 hours 50 mins late.

My phone was online either WiFi or 4g so don't quite understand what happened there.

Well my 3080 order has been rejected - no idea why as I havent bought one before.

This happened to my cousin. He was around mine and a drop happened! He logged in and ordered his 3060 Ti… then a few hours later… order cancelled. No specific reason why, so my guess is because of my I.P. address, I did order my 3080 a weeks before he made his order.

In the end we asked our other cousin to make a full order from his home… bagged a 3080 in the end.
