To those who bagged a 3080 FE recently, what time did you manage to snag it?

Mine was about 2:30, and think it seems to be roughly 1-3PM time.

T1000_A · 8 Nov 2020 at 13:15

14:13 and was sold out by 14:15.

By 14:15 I was sat in shock looking at the order confirmation and had screenshotted it and sent it to a friend who got his 3090 a couple of weeks ago.

I raised a ticket with the retailer for the code, it should have came with COD.

Someone mentioned they had spoken the the retailer on discord and we needed to raise a ticket if you didn’t get one.

BriT · 8 Nov 2020 at 14:00

Does COD come with the 3070?

spluff · 8 Nov 2020 at 14:03

No just 3080 and 3090

Ree · 8 Nov 2020 at 14:11

amazing that spending £500 on a product isn't enough to qualify you for a free game.

14:14 was order time but I was on it obviously a minute or two before that.

Ordered confirmed at 14:15

Never moved so fast in my life.

Like others I also didnt receive any codes but considering they're still advertising it and the competitor actually is a good nvidia partner I suspect we will get one in the end. Have sent a message inquiring.

What does your receipt say?

Stretch · 8 Nov 2020 at 15:09

How does the discord thing work?

Nothing about codes. Just the 3080 and the shipping option.

Granted that doesn't bode well but I'd have to assume that it's an available promotion if they're still advertising it 3 days after the order.

I wont be too mad if I don't get it but it'd be a nice addition.

Edit: oh and 1x EAUTOGEN on the invoice, whatever that means.

They put any codes you will get on the receipt which are then autogenerated via email. It's really obvious.

You get it as soon as order is picked. So you aren't getting any.

I also didn't see any advertised on the FE page.

Here are a couple of my orders over the last couple of weeks.

It's not in the email, but it's still on the homepage as it has been since the promo began. All 3080s/90s, not select ones. That includes the FE. If you believe another poster in this thread then they've said to message if you didnt get one.

As I said I'm not going to be sad about not getting a code but it's bad practice to advertise (and still advertise days later) something they can't provide. At least OC took it down when they weren't sure about numbers.

We'll see I guess.

until the retailer replies to the query about this likely tomorrow its not known whether we will get the COD code or not, nobody knows - including muon, as just because its not listed on the invoice means nada, they might have had an issue with applying them and can retrospectively add them or indeed they might say sorry not this time

It shows on their website that this offer is applicable for 3080 and 3090 FE, so lets see

T1000_A · 8 Nov 2020 at 16:29

It's even advertised still on the Nvidia website. Bundle is included with purchase. Seeing as though you still technically purchase from there there shouldn't be a reason not to have one.

I received a reply from them:

Hi there,

Unfortunately this game was not applicable for founders orders.

Kind Regards

Edit, I may call tomorrow as someone I said this to, says they spoke with cs and were told they should get the codes.
