Went straight from Notify to me, to Out of Stock in the space of a 1 second refresh.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

The French site is back up, and is weirdly still on Notify Me...

With such quick sales something tells me Jensen will be able to get larger spatulas.

The French Nvidia site never even had any up I don't think. It's still saying "notify me" and no In Stock or Order Now button ever appeared. Could have grabbed an EVGA off a German site but it had a 100 euro markup over the FE so...no.

It...it looks like I got a 3080 order through in on ebuyer, got the confirmation email and everything. Unfortunately a bit above RRP but I'm not the in the position to be choosey :P

Just hope it stays, fully prepared for the possibility it'll cancel. So so sorry for everyone who didn't get one (which err may still include me), how was this so catastrophically worse than we already expected it to be :simper:

Congrats! To everyone who managed to bag one!

Rumours are already out that the next batch will be 15th November, at least for the AIBs. No idea for the FE.

I eventually managed to get my order placed with Scan for the MSI Gaming X Trio 3080

strawberry float knows when I’ll get it. The 17th November would be nuts. PS5, Cyberpunk and my 3080 all at once

Actually, looking at the scan site, the model I chose was one of the only ones that doesn’t have an ETA :dread:

Overclockers said they still didn't have stock for the Trio and will get it in a few days. I wonder if Scan are the same.

Must be. I’ve noticed a few times in the past they clearly use the same distributors.

Actually in my order confirmation the estimated delivery is next Tuesday. Who knows

Checking through twitter and I can't see a single person who successfully bought an FE. As the NVidia store supposedly doesn't have any CAPTCHA at all, looks like they were all eaten by bots and are now on ebay, some priced at over $10000, amusingly.

Oh well.

Just bought the Steam version of Among Us but man is it impossible to get into a public game right now. Matchmaking just constantly full.
