kishinfoulux said:Well Microcenter finally replied to my text (several hours later).
"Good day! We're sold out nationwide. No ETA currently for when we will be receiving more. Those also can not be reserved/preordered due to such high demand."
Guess I should finally sleep. I've been up for a while since I left work the other day lol. -
Hubbabubba said:elcid_777 said:But, but...nvidia said theyre doing everything to stop the scalpers and get them into real customers hands!!! How can this be?? Lol lying sacks of crap, they did this on ourpose to drive up demand. Mark my words people, after these next few weeks, you will likely never see a 3080 for $699. And micro center tustin is a joke. Someone posted a video clip of the tustin store, there is still like 75 people lined up and more showing...
Except theres no more cards left and the second shipment already got bought up and the employees are not informing those poor suckers waiting outside. I doubt they get more shipments until a few days from now and the shit show begins again. Going to get it in person is pretty much youre only way of getting it now. Online is a complete bust at this point. All of these shit bag scalpers using bots, its impossible. -
So did most stores do vouchers?
-
So what's up with MC telling 100+ people to get in line when Nvidia had already stated that it was 20 cards max per store?
Explain that logic. -
I read through the thread but am still confused with the purpose of the vouchers if they are not handed out until the store opens. Are we given a voucher then we immediately give it back?

elcid_777 said:cucuchu said:So what IS being done is people are making throwaway dud ebay accounts to spam the scalpers with fake bids. There is a big effort for this and a lot of people are doing it. There is a thread going on the NVIDIA forum of a guy that created a bot which spam creates throwaway ebay accounts and specifically bids on the 3080 listings to drive them up to insane levels. Legal? Probably not...but I'm cool with it. F'ck em

So I’m guessing the 3090 is gonna be the same situation
-
They handed out vouchers just before they opened so only those who had vouchers could buy the 3080s that they got. The Kansas store ended up getting 22 total cards. I know I asked this afternoon and those bitching about sales rep knowing they don't know what they are getting they get dropped shipped these from the warehouse they don't order them hence why some stores got more and some didn't get that many. Also, those who bought the lower tier cards until side by side comparisons are done does not mean it is better than a higher tier card. You may get a lucky good card because I assume not all of them are tested. Lower temps at higher OC is why the higher tier cards are more money not just the clock speed.

For those who got cards today I would love to know how early you were outside the store and how many people were there when you got there. I’m going to my local store next week...by local I mean it’s 2 hours away but I need that 3090...will I have to fight scalpers? Haha

hey! I’m in Los Angeles so the Tustin location I believe is the closest to me... which has me worried because comments here say that 75 people were in line this morning which makes me think I might need to camp out the night before, sound ridiculous for a graphics card but I have to be honest I really want to get one of these before they become X% more expensive on the aftermarket. I wish you the best of luck man! And thank you to everybody on here who is sharing their experience and knowledge, really great to see the community trying to help each other out when it’s so hard to get information from some of these big companies.

Hey. So I’m building a new pc and I was looking to get 2 3090s for SLI for my system. If my gf comes with me can we both get 1 each or does it depend on the address because we live together pe cause of 1 per household?

I just really want to get my hand on 2 3090s for my sli. That’s why I wanna know if I get my gf to come buy another one because of the 1 per household is it still possible to get it or do they only give 1 per address?
-
Do you guys think there will be less stock for the 3090? I was going to attempt to get one at the Dallas location. Anyone else planning to go to the Dallas location for the 3090?

Vinn said:Anybody waited at the St. David PA location for the 3080? How was the line or vouchers handled? Want to know for the 3090 release.

So let' say I'm like 5th in line and I get a voucher. I'm guessing they only let a certain amount of people into the store at a time right?So assuming they let those first five people in first was it just a mad race to get the card you wanted? Or was it more of a "Okay this guy was number one so he gets first pick, now number two gets to pick" and so forth?
