I made it to the Newegg Place Order button with an EVGA XC3 Ultra but then their site crashed. Oh well, never even saw the FE on BB's site available once.

Oh well, no loss. At least the Painters showed up on time to remind me that I'm already spending $6k this week.

I was able to add the EVGA XC to my cart in BestBuy about 20 times but it never let me check out. Got to the shipping page once, but then nothing.

Yeah, it let me add that one but instant checkout with apple pay it told me to fuck off and they were out of stock. I wish people stopped buying from scalpers so release days were actually fun instead of the same disappointment every time. It's basically a given and not even really disappointing anymore really, just pointless.

EVGA's site hasn't been reachable since 5 min before launch. I doubt anything has happened there.

I was able to get it fully processed through the app but it was actually sold out. I'm guessing their site just can't keep up and you never even actually got it to your cart.

Seems I got 2 MSI GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X OC coming from different stores. Will probably return one unless I could make a buck or two reselling the second one.

This isn’t a real launch, just Nvidia paper launching to get out ahead of AMD

Pretty sure you can make good money off reselling these considering how few people that want one were able to get one today.

This plays well for the next NVDA quarterly earnings call - "Our new cards sold out worldwide within 5 minutes!"

That kind of stuff is so dumb. CMON does that with their kickstarters. They set the funding at $100k knowing it will reach that within 10 seconds of launch so they can add a 'fully funded in ten seconds' stamp to their page.

This. I wish we knew the actual numbers of cards shipped to retailers.
Likely in the hundreds as the other two threads I’m in have almost zero percent success either. The reddit/4chan rumours of Amazon, Best Buy etc only having a few hundred (total across entire country) appear true to me.

Fuck Nvidia
