I put in an order with ProVantage for an EVGA FTW3 last night thinking it was a long shot and probably some sort of inventory glitch. Just saw they charged my card so I called them up and supposedly it's shipping tomorrow? Big if true.

BHPhoto has pretty much been erased from existence from this ordeal. Bet they're not happy.

edit: looks like they've completely quarantined everything on their site having to do with the 3080

I don't even care anymore, I"m more just amused by this paper launch than anything. Should be some good memes, like /r/freefolk during S8.

Microcenter by me had people camped out since the store closed last night. I went this morning cause I need a new modem anyway and there were like 50 people in line.

The store got 8 cards lol.

I completely agree with the price tiering scheme. Announce the card will be $700 once demand can be met. Until then they are $2000, lowering as inventory increases and demand slows. I’d rather the company that created the product everyone wants make extreme profit margin rather than people with bots who had nothing to do with creating the product.

It'll be great. It'll usher a new era of high-demand electronics, and this strategy is a solidly proven approach.

I tried BB - didn't update from Coming Soon to Sold out till like 6:10 - never once did it even give an option to add to cart.

I wonder actually how many units were actually available worldwide. I personally know only one person who was able to get one.

This morning we saw unprecedented demand for the GeForce RTX 3080 at global retailers, including the NVIDIA online store. At 6 a.m. pacific we attempted to push the NVIDIA store live. Despite preparation, the NVIDIA store was inundated with traffic and encountered an error. We were able to resolve the issues and sales began registering normally.

To stop bots and scalpers on the NVIDIA store, we’re doing everything humanly possible, including manually reviewing orders, to get these cards in the hands of legitimate customers.

Over 50 major global retailers had inventory at 6 a.m. pacific. Our NVIDIA team and partners are shipping more RTX 3080 cards every day to retailers.

We apologize to our customers for this morning's experience.

Guys, we had 50 full retailers selling these. There were a ton!

Fucking assholes.
