They're doing that for the next drop, whenever that happens to be!
Probably 2pm next Tuesday.
They did the same with the 3090FE and I managed to pick one up a few weeks after launch just by browsing the store at 2pm, no alerts or bot needed.

Good luck, hope you get one.
I'm just glad I'm sitting this one out, my 3080 Ti will do me for a couple more years or so.

Lol… so many 4090 FE cards on eBay, scalpers in full force!
Thanks but undecided if I am or not yet. Waiting to see what AMD bring to the table first, unless I get a GFE invite, that might swing my decision for me TBH.
Doubtful I’ll get an invite though, the numbers are very low I believe.

The card that just keeps on giving @Purgatory
Another one seeing the same thing but he updated from a 3090ti to 4090, no difference on a monitor but VR gets a good boost.
Also watch for the tearing in VR (the side window area tearing like crazy every time he moves the view) and 3090ti beats the 4090 with DLSS on with a monitor..
So I wasn't going crazy when I tested 3090 vs 4090 on a 7950x.

The fastest CPU's for gaming and pairing with a 4090 are 13900K, 7950X and 5800X 3D, plus the more you can overclock the more a 4090 will benefit as they are CPU bottlenecked.
I shall post it again but 8 Pack explained this in his video a couple weeks ago:

Sadly a few of the scalped GPU have sold - who is paying £2500+ for 4090 with no warranty when it doesn't print money...

Althought just noticed your were running Time Spy Extreme - don't know if there's a difference?
and no common sense
Nviidia have been mimicking apple for years now, even their press conferences are very Apple like.
@Gibbo Any reason why this year we cant do a pre order? Last year it was possible, i think was better than now..., i was aware about number in que without having to worry about if was having or not...
i do belive many members here would do the same choice too

They probably don't want to risk it in case prices rise and they get caught with their pants down again which was what happened last time.
We don't want customers waiting months and the pounds outlook is weak so we don't want to be shipping product at a loss. Nowhere is taking pre-orders and for good reason!

It's an add on for 3D Mark

maybe the 800W is a miner deterrent, lol.
Sometimes they're "sold" to friends & family to make it look like they're going for good money. Then they'll be re-listed a few days later.
