LandShark said:@Pooba I know that our NY stores have been getting stock. I know that on the 3rd we got 8 cards at Westbury.@F4llenPotAto Were not sure exactly when we will be receiving new inventory. Perhaps they meant that we would not have steady stock for a month, however, we have been receiving stock.The schedule on which we have been receiving new stock has been very irregular, not really a schedule at all. I've mentioned it on another thread, but we're making exceptions with this release and having the manufacturers ship the new cards directly to the store in some cases. We're doing our best to get these cards to you as quickly as we can. Hopefully, we can have a steady amount in store shortly! We're dependant on the manufacturers.

@LandShark will you guys be getting 3070 on the day it releases? If I have to pick a day to go might as well be that

Just a FYI to everyone going daily to check status of cards at stores be careful. On 10/8 I went to my local store to see if I could get a card I got there at 7am was #5 on the line the 4 people in front of me were friends. around 8:30-8:45 the 4 people ahead of me had friends show up they said were not getting cards we got them already so fast forward to 9:45 employees came out with 6 vouchers immediately the people ahead of me said they were there all morning waiting which is not the case also these same people have been going to the store daily have 1 person stay from like 12am and have there friends show up later and say ohhhhh they were here but went to get food. This was my first time waiting in line I was bumped to #7 and did not get a card the employees could care less 1 of the people got 5 card in 5 days because they do not check ids or anything even though it 1 per HOUSEHOLD. I was screwed im going to try again next week was going to go today but those same people said they were going again today so I would have wasted my time. I was told by support they were going to try and reserve me a card for everything I’ve been through never heard back from them this is just a FYI this is what’s going on at the stores

My local one has been kinda weird. I went there like a week ago for a specific rev of Corsair ram that is compatible with my MB. Ram is right next to the video cards. The rev wasn't compatible, but I heard two employees talk about there are no longer something like a reservation or holding cards for people. I ended up leaving, didn't even ask if they had any.
After that, on one of the in stock tracker sites, I saw someone post that they were able to get a card from my location, however they had to buy other things to be able to buy a 3080. He basically did a full new build(he was doing this anyways) other than ram and re-used parts like PSU. I really thought that was weird, forcing people to buy other parts just to buy a 3080.
Yesterday was my first time going at opening. Got there 1 minute before opening, maybe 6 people in line. As I parked they opened the store, walked to the video card section, some guy was asking for 3080's, heard the associate say they got none, so turned around and left.
Today, I got there right after opening, walked to the video card section, asked the sole worker if they got any 3080's, he responded 'I have no idea, I'd have to check in the back' and proceeded to not check in the back. Literally just stood there. I rolled my eyes after a few minutes and just left.
I'm in the queue for the staggered EVGA release, think I'll just wait for my number to come up. -
My local store is Tustin, CA, they got 13 cards today (9 ASUS TUF and 4 MSI). I arrived at 8:50 this morning and was handed a voucher around 9am by a cheerful store manager. Another employee stood outside answering questions and handing out the rest of the vouchers as people showed up. At 9:50 they brought us in and let us pay. I am quite happy and applaud the Microcenter team for how professionally they handled everything this morning. The only thing that weirded me out was when I was in the checkout line a store employee stated this product could not be returned. I mean the chances of me wanting to return this are slim to none but seems weird that I can't. FYI I heard they got 8 EVGA cards yesterday but didnt hand out any vouchers, just sold them to the first 8 people in line at 10am.

Last night 10/14 it said limited availability on the Houston MC, look this morning, 10/15, at 9:00 a.m. before the store is open. Sold out??? Weird. The FTW3 and Asus Tuf were “limited availability” last night.

Hey guys. I dont see much about 3090 stock incoming to Cambridge, MA. Is there someplace I can look without having to bother the store?
-
Hello, I was wondering if the Tustin location will have 3070s on launch day?

If there is a lot of 3080 stock after big navi release you'll know it's not coincidental. -
anyone knows if the Locations in Illinois Westmont or Chicago got any 3080's since launch? Thank you

Just want to make sure, are vouchers available the date it releases or before it releases

This is handled by the management in the store, however, typically they are distributed at the release time. -

Hi all!We made some updates to the FAQ yesterday regarding the upcoming release.
Q.) How many will you have in stock?
A.) We’re expecting limited quantities for the RTX 3070 launch on Thursday the 29th. We are working hard to get these cards in as quickly as possible, and are going above and beyond our normal shipping processes.Q.) Are you planning to open early on the release dates?
A.) All Micro Center stores will be opening at 9am Eastern on Thursday 29th for the RTX 3070 launch. The stores will operate normal hours thereafter.Should there be any other changes regarding the upcoming release, we'll continue to update our original post.
Thanks!
-
With the launch of the 3070 will arrive more 3080?
-
Will the dallas store location also be opening at 9am EST on the 29th?
-
@Cledger Yes, all Micro Center locations will be opening at 9am Eastern on the 29th. If that changes, we'll be sure to update things on our website and here!
-
@LandShark is that 9 am eastern as in 8 am central, or 9 am all time zones?
-
@dorian Yes, 9am Eastern as in 8am Central.
