Like I said, it's not fucking new. I didn't get my 1080 until September and they "launched" in May.

I wish everywhere just set up a queue system that tells your your place in line. Sign up and “You’ll get the 20,134th card, estimated in December.”

Update you as they get stock in.

It seems to work quite nicely here in Europastan. I see people on forums get cards every other week with estimated dates.

I'm still partial to NVIDIA running an open bidding system.

I'm willing to fornicate with a non fat, clean, healthy, genetically biological woman with good dental hygiene who can give guarantee me an inside line on getting my hands on 3080

Jensen Huang is obviously a clever guy, but I wouldn't trust him to tell me the time of day.

It's all bullshit anyways. The day 1 Nvidia drop had to be in the low hundreds of cards. They rushed it, and they look like clowns

yeah a lot of the Euro stores let people order 3080s and just update once a week their position in the line, like people will get emails "you are 148th in line for a 3080, we estimate late Nov delivery".

i guess America is too capitalist for queues, everythings gotta be Black Friday for us

I’d be perfectly fine with that. I don’t have the time to camp a website trying to squeeze in. Even if it said “You’re estimated for March” with updates as they get orders out the door I’d be cool with it. At least I could stop trying to pay attention.

???

I quit paying attention launch day when I didn't feel like going to the store.

Now I read here for chuckles, and am waiting to see AMDs cards. Which will likely be supply constrained as well

Just let Wall Street handle it. Everyone places a buy order, the highest price that sells the entire stock for the day gets to sell the whole thing. A little bit like stock trading works.

that is essentially stock X, they mostly do shoes but they have 3080s too

prices were dropped steadily for a few days but climbing back up slightly now, $1325 for a 3080 FE right now which after fees is like $1100 to the seller, which is like a $350 profit

Yeah, I’m not really actively trying. Just checking up on how supply is doing via this thread and articles trying to get an idea of when these will stay in stock for more than seconds or at least not site crashing traffic. I’m not expecting that to happen this year.

I think we will get our hands on something this year, only because of the AMD launch.
