FEs get listed at RRP price yes, but you have to click the very second they go live.

There is a good chance it will go down just like all the FE drops over the last 3 months or so...
So yes, the intial lot will all go to peoples baskets, the add to cart button will disappear. However till it actually says "Out of Stock", its not over.
Typically within 10-15 minutes, the "add to cart" button re-appears, as people who have ordered a card before or for whatever other reason get declined or cancelled.

I dont know how often I and others have parroted that line....yet people still keeping saying "Gone in 2s".

How many of you have actually tried to get an FE card rather than just look at the page and hope to get lucky?

Join one of the alert discord / telegram / twitter servers that alerts. Be ready with your account logged in. When the drop happens, keep refreshing the page till it says out of stock.

If you do get it in the cart, checkout as fast as you can. So ideally have already setup your account, added billing address and credit card etc.


It is the BEST chance anybody has of bagging a card AT RRP.

Further, they really vary the drops now. Use to be Weekdays between 13:00 - 15:00. (So people at work moaned) Now they sometimes drop in the evening or even on a weekend.

You might fail the first time, but keep trying. The FE cards really are not as hard to get as AIBs. (Where most retailers are botted to ****.)

From personal experience, don't bother with Discord, I got my 3080 first try with telegram alerts. Also I recommend creating an account with the site they use and adding a payment card, debit rather than credit if you can. You may need to do a small value order with them and then save card details as I did not see any way to add them manually.

Can you use paypal on Nvidia's store or no?

Trying to spend that much by debit usually triggers bank security.

It used to let you use PayPal but on the last few drops it seems to be credit card or bank card only for some reason. People were probably getting around the 1 per customer BS by making new PayPal accounts.

I had luck with Discord. All depends on the server though. I was a member of 3 different ones, and 1 was significantly faster than the others.
I also had twitter open, but that got me nothing...

Thats mental. THe FE prices are 3080ti for $1199 and $599 for the 3070ti.

Even going by how the price converted with the 3080 that means the 3080ti FE will be £1150 and the 3070ti will be £550.

If using todays exchange rate they should be slightly less.

If you can get a 3080ti for £1150 than thats a good buy

3080Ti FE £1049 and 3070Ti FE £529

.TBH


Are you going for one? my brother is after one so I'm on telegram watch duties.

I'll see if I can snag one, if not probably hold out for a cheaper 6900xt. Doubtful that I'll be able to get one though, they cancelled the last order after it was confirmed.
 
Yeah you aint got no chance using your own payment and address, need a third party to do you a favour with their address and payment method.

Using a neighbours address, and the payment info is in my name, the PayPal account I got the 3070 on is in my mother's name so I'm guessing they twigged me last time by ip. PayPal seems to not be an option on the last few drops as its easy to.make a new account.
 
Wonder how many will buy the AIB models, AMD 6900 are already sticking in stock at the prices we are hearing. It would be a brave scalper who buys an AIB 3080ti, especially with LHR
 
I'm very lucky to have bought a 3080 FE thanks to Telegram alerts (another big up to FE PartAlert). These "new" cards have ridiculous prices that would have been laughed at so hard if we weren't in a semiconductor shortage.

"Notify me" that's cute, the cards will be sold out before the notifications even get sent. :p

Doubt it, email is innately too slow to handle the kind of **** show which is brewing in Nvidia's septic tank.

is it possible to pre-order the 3070ti anywhere? Not listed yet on OcUK. I'm likely missing a very obvious link...
Click to expand...

No, they likely won't be putting up availability or pre-order until the 3rd.
 
xPETEZx said:
no. It really is close to 10-15 minutes before the actual out of stock message appears.

As usual far too many people want to whine and moan they cant get a card, rather than actually put a modicum of effort in to get one.

Getting an FE card is not hard. Yes it does still take some luck and timing, but faaaaar less than getting one anywhere else.
Especially when its the 1 place to get a card guaranteed at RRP.

No you are wrong.

23rd December was the drop I got mine. Cards went out of stock just after 60 seconds on Nvidia website. 3080 FE has never been in stock for longer than mere minutes.
3060ti FE I bought before the 3080FE was in stock for like 20 seconds then gone.

3090FE on other hand has been available over an hour sometimes. Maybe you only mean the 3090FE has been available for the time period you state. The others certainly have not from my experience and others reporting the same in this very forum.

I agree FE card is not hard if you have an account, have payment ready, are refreshing the website continually all day, see the Captcha Traffic Light test to give you the 1 minute warning.
For some people this is classed as difficult and is not a modicum of effort. For some reason you seem to be acting a bit egotistical just because you have a card and others are not able to get one.
Try and be a bit more sympathetic ? Just a suggestion.
