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

[Lithium]

Three things.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?

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.

never even saw it in stock. made it through on another store and bloody payment got declined by bank

 

[Ur round next]

That was painfull Took me nearly 40 mins to order the Asus RTX 3080 ROG Strix Gaming OC from OcUK got there at last tho

 

[8myers8]

Looks like Nvidia Ultimate Played us all , if u ask me there was no stock to start with , all the Utubers got them by the looks of it ....

 

[Slinky69]

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!

Will be interesting to see how many people report having been able to buy one from the NVidia shop!

 

[jabski]

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

thats whats happened to me

 

[Gerard]

Lol what a **** show of a launch, zero stock on the nvidia site, barely any stock anywhere, price gouging, sites falling apart left and right.

 

[CREATIVE!11]

Annnnnnd let the price gouging commence.

Certain retailers adding 50-100 onto cards that elsewhere are less.

Nice.

Managed to get confirmation page for MSI Trio, but no confirmation email yet so we'll see.

 

[ronski]

40mins of trying - I got the Zotac ordered. Thank you OcUK

Going to need some concrete evidence if anyone here claims they did.

 

[CREATIVE!11]

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.

Yep something definitely funky with nvidia site.....

They were late on the release by couple mins, then people here saying they refreshing every 2 seconds to instantly out of stock?

??????????????????????????

 

[Skiprat]

OC I've had one in my basket but can't proceed to pay!!! arrgghh

 

[Beepcake]

I got a "BUY NOW" button, but when I clicked it (and I tried a lot ) all I got was a blank dialog (and a ton of JS errors in the console)

 

[esoteric]

Complete wash. NVIDIA went OOS in 1 second, but at least the website didn't crash. OcUK died as did a competitor and my local competitor doesn't have stock yet at all, and even then they're all priced at £800.

I'd be disappointed if I didn't decide to wait to see AIB reviews.

 

[imginy]

@Gibbo

Thanks for the heads up earlier about what's in stock.

It took me 30 mins of refreshing but I got the palit for £690 ordered thanks.

 

[Things change I've changed]

Really struggling to check out @ OcUK

 

[End Creditz]

Possible that the Nvidia site was susceptable to bots buying up the stock?

 

[krustylicious]

wanted the tuff oc - ended up with the gigabyte gaming oc (i don't even known what the boost is) and my 20s auto refresh bit back at me.. boo

 

[signal11th]

thats whats happened to me

Same as me went from Notify me to Out of Stock, never even saw it in stock.. Still Managed to bag a EVGA from somewhere else instead which was my second choice card..
