I don't know why people refuse to believe this when it is staring them in the face...
What’s funny is I’ve been saying it for weeks. And some people really don’t believe it. Nvidia is out to make money. Even if it’s through shady things like over hyped paper launches.
 
i got an add to cart on new egg, then hit the button and nothing......
fucking scalpers.....rot in hell....

or worse yet......maybe there never were any......thats just wrong
 
Can you only get the FE from Nvidia's site directly? Because they're trying to charge me Euros instead of dollars since I'm in Italy, but I have a US mailing address still.
 
Make money on what, nobody is selling anything. It's just a paper launch.

How bad do you want a card you can’t have and everyone around you wants? If you’re being honest, that answers your question. Increased demand before actually properly stocking.... right before big Navi launch... makes sense to me.
 
was it like this for the 2080ti when it launched? asking because I couldn't be bothered then...
 
Nah, refresh and it does the same thing.

Nvidia hasn't given the green light for sales yet.

Oh they appeared, I saw the add to cart light up for several of them and they stayed for like 2 mins before they were gone. BB's entire stock of 10 cards nationwide just went very fast is all.

Been 25 minutes since launch was supposed to start. Amazon never showed stock at any time. Had 1 page change where Amazon put up a livestream and that was it. Well, I've got email alerts setup to Amazon for my card. I'll keep an eye on my GMail and when alert hits I'll try my best. Some have mentioned here "nVIDIA is out to make money". To a degree I agree but...it's hard to make too much money when stock is so limited it's gone (potentially to bots) before humans without bots can ever react to it at all. No DeathSmasher. No word on anyone successfully getting one yet. Also a paper launch some say? I can believe that. The paper was the webpage and...what else was there supposed to be again? Out!
 
LMAO.
NOW I'm getting "now in stock" emails, after everything is absolutely sold out.
 
NVidia's page went from Coming Soon to Out of Stock in a matter of seconds without any crash at all. Makes you wonder if there was any at all.

EVGA crashed, Newegg.ca crashed (managed to get as far as payment on a Ventus before it was removed, could get 2 others to cart but no more). Amazon never even showed stock, Memory Express has a few in store only from what their website says. None anywhere close though.
 
Evga took down the 30 series offering.

ROFL! Well if this isn't the definition of paper launch I don't know what is. I haven't seen anything like this in my 20 years of being a PC enthusiast but I'm sure that's because this is just a GENERATIONAL OF GENERATIONS leap and demand is so sky high that NVIDIA sold 5 million units in 5 seconds, so fast that even the Flash couldn't hit the buy button fast enough.
 
I should have bought that ventus. I saw it in stock at newegg for about 5 minutes about 7:30AM and that lulled me into a sense of confidence I wouldn't have trouble picking up a card today. I didn't want the Ventus model particularly - but looks like I could have flipped it if nothing else. Cards closing on ebay for $1k left and right.

Bold of you to assume they had 5 million units to sell.
