Anyone know how to get the Nvidia game code? I sent a webnote asking for one after getting my card. Got back an order confirmation for "NVIDIA RTX Bundle Promotion - Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War" but there's no code attached anywhere.

I saw a few on here the other day concerned about 3080 performance because of cyberpunk, e.g it's already hammering it and it's only just come out so is the VRAM enough for future titles... If you can afford a Ti and that's what you want then by all means but I wouldn't let a game like cyberpunk decide it for you, it's clearly a very hard game to run, like Crysis was in the past or GTA V even now could probably still make a 3080 sweat. Some games are just hard to run, especially open world games. Personally I don't think 10gb of GDDR6x is going to be a problem for quite a while, sure as time goes on you'll have to turn more and more settings down but that no different from any other launch. I'd be very surprised if in 4 years time the 3080 isn't comparable to how the 1080 handles games today...

Quite a few have appeared online in the last 48 hours or so across most of the usual vendors. For anyone who is still sitting far down the queues here they are out there. I could have grabbed another one yesterday fairly easily.

For anyone who has received their 3080 but didn't get their game code, I managed to get in contact with customer service after sale staff who helped me out and gave me a cod cold war promo code.

I think there's limited supply so get in fast.

Mine took around 24hrs. I got an order confirmation, followed by a collection at store email many hours later. And then this morning an email with the code.

Give it time

I contacted them and got the order confirmation email, but there is no code? Does the code come in a seperate email?

In the update it stated "Expect this week we have additional Gigabyte stock due:" then went on to say there were x40 3080 gigabyte eagles. However all the posts after that never mention if OC received those orders in.

So did they receive the expected order and just forgot to let us know or have they not arrived this week as expected? I have seen some people on here say they recieved a dispatch email.
I dropped exactly 50 in the queue for 3080 eagle. Down from 108 to 58.

seems like ASUS has the best supply by far compared to others, while having the best PCB design and no corners cut to the power delivery (best power stage design).
+10 to ASUS street cred
