    You guys are aware that the FTW3 has been delayed as well as the founder edition not being there. You guys are ok with settling for the worst cards available? There’s only going to be 20. I was going to show up at 6 am but not worth it for the cheap Msi and gigabyte cards
    Get water block and it don't matter
    A water block for $200 + an $800 GPU 😂😂 Might as well get a 3090 for that money 
    So a 3090 + a 200$ water block then?
    It’s all about performance my man not about cooling. You can’t slap water on everything and expect it to make it so much better.
    I mean, if you already have a custom loop it doesn't matter. Cooling = performance though

    anyone here at Cambridge Massachusetts?
    13 people here at Cambridge right now.
  • Just drove by the Marietta, GA location and there's 12-15 people there as of about an hour ago. Hope you guys brought diapers! I'm too old for this shit. I'll take my chances online with the quick add-to-cart strategy ;)

    Yelp, I’ll just go for online and if that fails I’ll go for the 3090. Doubt as many people can afford that one. I don’t need it, but might as well just get it. I wanted the ASUS ROG STRIX anyway and sounds like MC won’t have it tomorrow anyway so the news of that ridiculous camped out line saved me a trip after I get off work lol

    I'm probably going to head up around midnight and hope I'm not too late. From the sounds of other places I won't have a chance. Just hoping my store isn't as popular. I would like a 3080

    I don't THINK Mayfield will be as bad as a location such as Columbus but I'm not taking a chance; will get there as early as I can on Wednesday of next week.

    It might actually matter. I've read some stuff online that suggests the lower-end models could have lower power limits than the higher end, and if it's limited in VBIOS then removing those limits could be complicated. 

    Who knows though. I'm hoping when review embargo drops tomorrow on the AIB cards we'll have some more information about this.

    your right, in theory, the high end ones that have three 8 pin connectors on them can draw 450 watt lol! That's a hard power limit right there if your card has only two 8 pin connectors, 300 watt limit. Than I've heard sometimes they limit it further via hardware with some resistors or soemthing. Might also be software lock i don't even know how you remove.

    Fairfax, VA has 11 cards and there are 11 people there waiting already. 
    They are not handing out vouchers until the morning (we were hoping since 11 people showed up already for the night they'd just give them out at closing, but they didn't).

    ...smh. the way this entire launch has been handled by nvidia and retailers is extremely shoddy, confusing and irresponsible. and to these people already outside the stores...you guys are freaking nuts and ridiculous as well. Not even the great covid PLANdemic scares away these people. what if this were a genuine pandemic? you'd be risking yourself and those around you for a $800+ gpu. anyway, ive decided to not give micro center my business or money simply based on the way they've handled this and how they havent put any deterrents to those trying to camp outside their parking lots even when a supposed global pandemic is going on. this is already a massive sh1t show and tomorrow will be even worse.

    I'll stop by the Houston one around midnight to verify the line and post pics. Also would be a relaxing night drive as well.
