I happen to be off today sitting at the computer when I received an in stock alert from nowinstock for the 3080 FE at the nvidia store just minutes ago, 13:32. Took me no longer than 5 seconds to add one to cart and press checkout, site locked up and just was rewarded to a spinning wheel on the checkout button. Didn't even get to the next step to try to enter payment info.... after 20 seconds I refreshed it was gone from my cart. I even have my address and cc info saved in Dash Lane which auto fills everything. Would have taken me no more than 10 seconds to complete the transaction and yet still can't beat the bots.

I'm not shocked

Same story. Checking out...

Thank God I was able to snag a card directly from EVGA. It was a 70 minute fight on the 24th, but at least I came out victorious!

No offense but other than a need to vent, why do folks post the 'I did not get my XXX' threads?  It was utterly predictable that initial supply would never meet demand. I'm surprised, given Covid, it is going as well as it has.

You don't have to read them.

No reason other than to vent and to share experiences in trying to get cards. You're under no obligation to click on and read these posts if you are tired of seeing them.

Thank you for agreeing with me there is really no useful purpose other than to vent and repeat  frustrations as we see with every release. I just wonder when folks will stop repeating the pattern. They depend upon it.

Lol it seems like I'm always one of the few in the discord group to not get a card when the links pop up; website always takes a dump on . If EVGA can somehow get their website working in the coming weeks, they deserve some kind of humanitarian award lol

If you think that this won't happen with the AMD launch, they you are mistaken.  Guess you will have to wait for Intel to launch their dedicated cards as I'm sure even the bots will skip those.

China golden week going to make this worse. It started today
 

This is going to be a painful few months. If you're getting frustrated take a step away for a week. I'm probably just going to sit back until I hear reports of stock lasting for more than 5 minutes before trying to snag one of my own.

I got a notice and added to cart just to see how long it would take and it was instant, I didn't want a FE card though so I didn't purchase but the site was very responsive while I was on it.

wanted to ask if anyone else is seeing this , I have the newegg page up with the 3090 and 3080 filter applied and I check the stock couple times a day and nite too  but anyway I noted that if I apply the filter "in stock" It shows me sometimes a few GPU's even though they list as out of stock under their picture  ?  just wondering why the in stock filter would show any if they are out of stock , ?
