Hmmm trying to call and been busy the last few minutes. I'd prefer to talk to someone rather then using text.
-
Whats the houston stock looking like?
-
Drove by the Microcenter Westbury store last night at about 1130PM already roughly 15-20 people in line. Drove to the Flushing store right afterwards around midnight about 10~ people in line. Wasn't going to chance wasting my time with the limited cards. Guess i'll try super early for the 3090 ..i underestimated how long people would wait for a GPU LOL. Microcenter needs to be up front about stock numbers going forward though IMO. Congrats to those who got cards though!
-
Is there a line yet for 3090?
-
I think I'm going to get the EVGA 2070S FTW3, and just use their step-up program to upgrade.

Unreal lol. 13 cards for 6 freakin states. What kind of crap is that? -
Bullcrap they will have them on shelves in two months just wait same shit happened with 2080ti. I can wait even if it is January to get 3090. Plus all the AIB that were sold today at MC were the lower tier AIB 3080s who cares rather have 3090 that I want not the 3080 with only 25% increase over my 2080ti such a disappointment based on Nvidia original statement. Only worth it if you either have a 1000 series card or below. Plus my son will eventually get my 2080ti when I do upgrade so no loss in value cause he will use it for minimum of 3 years. And no waiting in stupid covid line for 17 hours to spend my money.

Wait, no higher end AIBs? In that case, I won't waste my time. I've still got my 1080Ti, my 2060, and my 2080Ti. I can wait
-
Yep no store in MC chain got any of the upper tier AIB 3080s plus the results are in and the 3080 is not as good as NVIDIA stated in their original statements, since then they have come out with further clarifying statements which is BS. I am so glad I didn't go wait to buy 3080 such a disappointment for those with 2080s and 2080tis. I rather get a 3090 which that as well depends on independent reviews not paid reviewers.

Nvidia pulled a fast one.

Whoever camped out, did microcenter say anything about how they'll be restocking? Will it be a daily thing?
-
Can anyone confirm on the supplies of the houston location? I saw on their website that only 2 were in stock. Just curious if there really only ended up being 2. Thank you

I just came from there, there are none and they are saying they don't know when the next shipment will be in. I plan on checking back tomorrow

Been checking reddit and no one can confirm an order that went through with best buy. All those orders went to bots and scalpers, and some best buys are reporying they never received shipmwnts to their distribution centers...so what exactly "sold out"...?? This whole thing stinks to high heaven with nvidia doing shady shit to cause these oddities.
-
Exactly Nvidia makes their products scarce so it drives up demand and I'm waiting to see how good the 3090 is exactly from third party reviewers.
-
I just left the flushing,NY store to see what the deal was. As i previously stated they got 12 cards. The first 12 in line got cards (obviously). They then sent the rest of the people home cardless, "unexpectedly" they got a shipment of an additional 10 cards and whoever happened to walk in when that shipment came got one.-as told by an employee. He said they aren't sure when the next shipment is coming.

Statement from Nvidia:
"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."

Well at least they apologized so that's...something. Actions speak louder though.

Just came back from best buy in San bernardino, Ca. They had about 10 people waiting for the 3080, bb employee came out and said none in stock, but he expected a truck shipment that may have 3080s for in store purchase later tonight...meh, find it hard to believe, but this best buy carries a good selection of PC stuff. They have 1660 tis and one 2070 super. But still, im done with chasing this card around. Im thinking the card will be in and out of stock for the remainder of the year and will be very difficult to get one which will increase prices and demand even more. Perfect plan by nvidia.

And the 2080ti panic sellers will regret it. The 3080 is not a huge upgrade over the 2080ti, 25% is not impressive imo. I bet the 3080s become scarce by the holidays and the 2080ti rebounds in price.
-
I've got the next few days off so I'm almost considering staying at a hotel so I'm only a few minutes away from my closest Microcenter and just checking back every day for the next 3-4 days lol. Let's make it a party!
