I assume the catalog pages get cached so it doesn't have to keep querying the database but this is the down side of that.Why must they hurt us?

A lot of these were in stock hours ago. They are not selling out in minutes, so good sign so far.Why must they hurt us?

A few will end up on eBay, however, scalped listings are not selling quickly or are constantly being relisted, so more good signs.

They were? Hmmm wonder why I didn't get any in stock email then as I signed up for them.
5 were delivered to one of the other places on Wednesday, so yes, but clearly not very quickly
Isn't that just supply and demand. If i owned a store i would sell at whatever i could sell for. Customers have 2 options wait for supply to increase which sjould lower prices or pay inmflated prices to be the first to have. You cannot blame stores for making money its what they here for at the end of the day and if you do not liek it buy elsewhere its what i did and it wasnt even dificult
Zotac owners rest easy , it's not just them that are effected and rather a small bunch of defective gpu that no bios update will fix .... the Videocardz article has been updated a few times since earlier with new information.

Managed to nab one as they came back in stock again. Really didn't wanna pay that much for an 80 series, but my current 3080 has started to show signs of VRAM issues so not taking the chance with it.

That's crazy!

Well, that's just fan-fudging-tastic. So if my card ever does ship, not only does it need regular sniff tests for the first couple of weeks to check it isn't on fire, but I'll also need to go into GPU-Z to confirm it is actually the card it says it is.Zotac owners rest easy , it's not just them that are effected and rather a small bunch of defective gpu that no bios update will fix .... the Videocardz article has been updated a few times since earlier with new information.

That price he paid is crazy.
I just nabbed a 5090 TUF OC for 2750, forgot to even do Sat delivery as was just trying to get the order through. Don't even know just impulse bought it when I got a notification that it was in stock lmao

Completely botched launch tbh, although get used to it, things are gonna probably be like this for the foreseeable future, paper launched of defective cards

Oh I'm in full agreement, but I work from this PC as well and I don't wanna leave myself in the lurch if/when the 3080 dies, so needs must, but I do agree, I absolutely did NOT want to pay these prices for an 80.
Guy currently selling a suprim liquid on there claiming he didn't realise it was an AIO card and it doesn't fit in his case. Obviously also asking +2k on price paid.
Why do scalpers feel the need to add a made-up backstory?
Totally, and yeah I know I've overpaid, but there's worse things I've wasted £250 on lol, just need to see if I actually get it or get lumped into a preorder queue in which case I'd just cancel and try again next time
Those fake ROPs are what provide the fake frames - obviously.
Side note: My TUF is in now and https://www.3dmark.com/sn/3900981 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/53466292 xD
