Yeah it's normal for the 3080ti and 3090 to stay instock for awhile just not as much demand

Skynet5 · 16 Dec 2021 at 21:19

surely the only ones buying are those that flog the 3080 they got, and have a friend to buy one for them lol

Craig_d1 · 16 Dec 2021 at 21:19

3090's gone

gpuerrilla · 16 Dec 2021 at 21:20

Been over an hour since the first drop, surely they packed up and gone home? Maybe rest listed tomorrow...

I would like to thank this group as I've just made a successful order on a 3080 Ti.
I will expect the next wave will be the 3080 and 3070 cards.

Once again, thanks to this group and forum for the support.

I'll be gaming this Christmas.

Special shout out to @DeliciousStorage

I just got an order in as did another member thanks to rGtom's forward elsewhere for the 3080 Ti Founders!

Upgrading from a 2070 Super so whilst I was expecting to buy a 3070 Ti 16GB maybe early next year, this will definitely be a step up I think. 50-100 fps higher perf than the 2070 Super. Perfect for my 3440x1440 needs.

12700KF and now the GPU, gaming system all sorted for the slew of games launching from Feb

That's the thing. The 3080ti is a little faster for a lot more money.
Most fools are soon parted with their money...so they go full idiot and buy the 3090 as it's only a 'bit' more.

Although in this climate I guess frustration would set in. I think I would have bought a 3090 in this drop had I not already got the 3080fe back in October drop.

Or the people who can't get the 3080 as others are just buying them just to flog.

Yeah. Defo a set of people that are buying out of frustration. The good thing is they won't depreciate much in the mid term.

Happy for those who managed to score a card tonight

alphaomega16 · 16 Dec 2021 at 22:49

I nearly got the 3080ti but £400 is quite a jump and DEFINITELY would have gotten it if the 3080 dropped as well but I couldnt pick one up.

But just as the drop happened and my stress levels peaked waiting for the normal 3080's my dad picked the perfect time to start looking for something and dropping an extension lead into a bucket of water he uses to cool something for his laser cutter and power went out in the house.

I had the ti in basket, card info entered but kept expecting the normal 80's to drop.

Next time for peace of mind I am just going to get whatever comes up first 70, 80 or 80ti I don't care.

OMGWTFBBQ!
You're worse than a miner pretending to be a gamer, putting them in your basket not really wanting to get either is just stopping a real gamer from getting a card...

lol

So quick one from me, and I have tried to do some forum searching but these gcard threads are getting looong.
When we get a FE drop notification on telegram, when you guys click the link do you get error messages from cloudflare? I even get them in the big gaps between drops when there would next to no traffic for those links. Is there a way I need to refresh something? I went on cloudflare website and followed guidance to reset cookies etc but nothing works. Using my mobile device.

Error will be either ddos prevention....or the page has gone (delisted as out of stock) and cloudflare is giving you the error rather than the backend site.

thats because they have been sold out , each drop gets unique URL
