** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

Useless Nvidia!



OC site just buggered.

 

[Cithan]

Yeah I'm calling BS on FE ever showing in stock

 

[Petrolhead]

Doiuble post

LMAO at nvidia site going from notify me to OOS immediately when refreshing every 2 seconds

 

[[HB]Rugrat]

Lol Nvidia website stopped responding a few seconds after 2pm... when it came back literally 90 seconds later they were showing out of stock.

 

[Doppleganger]

Had the same experience. Very very dodgy IMO. No way it could go suddenly from 'Notify Me' to Out of Stock in a second.

And yes, it was still showing Notify Me at 2.03.

OCUK STILL showing "coming soon" lol. are they even for sale yet? I did manage to nab one at a competitor site at 14:02. Aparently in stock for delivery tomorrow!

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Nvidia website was a scam. Seriously doubt they ever had any to sell.

 

[Daniel Tolley]

ordered gigabyte 3080 eagle from OcUK and a competitor last past to the post gets cancelled

 

[Things change I've changed]

Impossible on OcUK site...

 

[Lithium]

Took me 30 minutes but eventually...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER WITH OVERCLOCKERS UK!

 

[GuitarGuy]

im not even preordering the ftw3 as i actually want the hybrid, screw this....

 

[randal]

Three things.

A) Whoever decided to put OcUK Forums on the same server as, or create a dependency for a redirect on the shop site probably needs to rethink that.
2) FE might as well have been a paper launch at that kind of availability. Totally expected mind you.
D) It's 2020, we live in a world of multi-tiered web services, CDNs and auto-scaling. How is it that so many sites crumbled under the load?

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

How often were you refreshing?

Something funky went on there man.... either that had like 100 cards in stock or people using scripts of some kind because no way....

Every 1-3 seconds at most, i even had stock notification and nothing came to my email. It went straight from notify me to out of stock

 

[Slinky69]

Nice, Lithium, hope you get it soon and it's the card of your dreams!

 

[Ayahuasca]

nVidia 2pm launch was a complete non-event, I think they left the one card they had in Jen's kitchen.

 

[TheSleepyWalrus]

I managed to order a MSI Ventus elsewhere, order confirmed and showing as processing, fingers crossed it goes through ok!

 

[Nbuilder]

Genuinely do not believe the Nvidia site had any stock, it went from Notify Me to out of stock in between a single refresh. What a joke!

 

[TNA]

Lol. Lets see how many of use tech savy people managed to get an FE. I did not, it went out of stock immediately for me.

Oh well, I guess I will have to wait.

Most of these sites are still running on their application stacks from 2005. So yeah you can stick it on an auto-scaling cluster but it's still gonna **** out because it's simply not designed for distributed horizontal scaling.
